im not sure there is much point, as already stated nothing available to haul them!

 

A 00 gauge run of a limited number may do alright, but I would imagine only after the current cravens and mk2 coaches sell and the forthcoming 121 which is a good bit away

The Dapol MK111's are a finer model when compared to the Farish ones which look a bit dated now. I remember that there was talk of one of the manufacturers producing a 442 class unit some time ago. The inner coaches would have been ideal for a repaint in Irish colours. They have the electronic doors like our own. Never came to fruition though.

I think Chiltern railways run mark 3 trains push pull with class 67 locos on the London-Birmingham services,

 

I believe the mark 3's were refurbished and fitted with plug doors.

 

I think I read that Chiltern came over to look at the IE mark 3 coaches but turned them down as they were in such poor condition

You are spot on they do have plug doors but they are different to ours. Even the windows in the doors are different. I'd run a mile too, if I saw the state the MK111's are in now.

:) its a pitty IE couldn't have kept them in an ok condition as it would have given the a bit more income.
