anyone know what this train is likely to be?
cheers

I can understand that they needed a dining train for corporate hire or fine dining and that this maybe had to involve refitting these coaches in a non authentic fashion...
I do think they should paint them in an authentic livery though. Rolling stock is just as important as the loco to me...
yes there was an appeal to buy some for preservation I read it somewhere too
I wonder if one of each major type of wagon built in the 60s and 70s has been preserved somewhere? we need a kind of noah's ark train ferry to save an example of each type from scrap!
Tim
Where are the other HAAs preserved?
Is there a website that lists all preserved wagons by type?
Are CDAs still in use then?
Sorry for questions and no info!
Tim
Ok so winner is HST power car even though its been re-engined!
I should think a class 91 would be next as someone else said
Would be interested to know how many miles on the still active 86s as they would have put in some shifts on WCML esp before 87s and 90s arrived
does the crossing keeper have to change a signal when the gates are shut? how does it work where you have a manual crossing not next to a signal box?
glad no one hurt in this incident
preserved one at great central nottingham (ruddington)
there was a preserved one at barrow hill too but not sure if there still
do they have any 56s at burton depot anymore?
washward heath presumably have them but not sure how you can photograph them

either a dealer or model shop that stocks 2nd hand american - or sell it on ebay
look in a model railway magazine at the adverts as often dealers advertise in them wanting to buy peoples collections or maybe in continental modeller magazine you will see shops that sell american trains and...
I like French auto-rails and diesel locos
I don't know what books would sell here. I usually buy French train magazines when I'm in France or elsewhere in mainland Europe (once or twice a year)
