Ah I do appollogise. Thought you meant are they not being made.
I have to agree with you on the price though, it is pretty rediculous. £150 for power cars? (£120 for those that arn't limited eddition) You used to beable to pick up a HST set, with two Mk3s included for £80.
£163 for the...
Cant you? Thats a little weird. Try it on a differant internet brouser, that sometimes works.
I'm liking the look of your NXEC HST, you're making a good job of that! Keep it up!
In a couple of weeks I'm going to make a start on a NMT HST, I've got some power cars and coaches all ready to...
Yeah I think it was down earlyer, I had trouble too. All seems to be fine now.
I like your layout by the way, quite alot of detail in there. Well done!
Class313 - Your layout is looking good too! Keep it up!
Hi all,
Thought it would be nice to see each others model railways, post your links here!
I'll kick us off with mine -

It's called West Derby and is based on an imaginary station and TMD in Derby. Its currently still under construction. Its 'rising from...
Resurecting an old topic hear but Hornby are making an exclusive class 43 HST for model zone in the East Coast white and silver livery, it won't have the National Express branding, just East Coast. The appropriate Mk3s are also going to be made.
Its due for release around September (Avalible...
The Hornby range is quite nice this year, some good diesels.
I've got the EMT and XC HSTs on my list. Along with some other diesel locos and DMUs from Hornby and Bachmann
True, the white does show up the dirt alot more. Which means it would naturaly needed to be cleaned alot more.
But, we can give that job to all the hooligans that graffiti the trains. What better punishment than making them scrub clean the trains
Is that by any chance the same as NX (started to) paint the stock into? Obviously minus the NX branding, logos and so on.
I quite like that livery, quite smart. Shame the franchise was so shortly lived.
It will be nice to see them in something uniform. They seem quite messy at the moment...
Yes exactly. Plus not all test centre routes will have a level crossing. I know for a fact none of the routes from the centre I did my test at have a level crossing on them. And I don't think there are any near it anyway. So they couldn't alter the route so it's included.
Besides, it wouldn't...
Trent Barton run a service called 'Trans PeaK' from Nottingham to Manchester via Derby, Belpter, Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton etc.
The service to Manchester runs every 3 hours and takes about 3 hours 35 mins.
There is also a service on the same bus which only goes as far as Buxton. This runs...
Yes use flexitrack, also for points, use those from the Peco Streamline range. They are much more like the real life ones, and give a gap between tracks which is much closer in scale to real life
Loads better, its a lot easyer to control the trucks. Some of the 'C' class models 'drift' a little, but that depends on what speed your going.
They can have a tight turning radius which is great for manuvering around depots etc
Hi all,
Has anybody else tried this? It's made by the same people as Euro Truck Simulator. It follows a simaler idea, accept this time you are just in the UK. You beggin working for a haulage company, but a bit further on you progress by purchasing your own truck and going freelance.
Its a...
