So, by the same token, the E&G 4th class trucks coaches would be inherently superior to a Midland D299? 🙂 Jim You'll have seen that photo of happy Derbyshire miners standing like sardines in a D299 (if sardines can be said to stand).

Jim Sadly it's not to be an original E&G train, but replicating (well, as close as possible!) a train involved in the Bearsden derailment of 1880, which had an ex-E&G loco. I do like the idea of an E&G train as well, but finding reasonable drawings of that early stock isn't easy! 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
