If Peco tooled it they might have done the same (is it in 'Concrete Nouveau' does anybody know?). Thanks Mike; yes I have. The Ratio Kit is based on the SR Drawings for Concrete Nouveau. ratio os part of the peco family but production remains at Buckfastleigh I think it is. I wouldn't be surprised if Parkside didn't get made there now as well. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 2, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Clive old bean, WTF is this please? images (9).jpg .....and this? branchline26.jpg Hi Phil Top photo, N gauge DMU with a small Peco bridge behind it. A Derby 3 car Suburban, first batch with four lights (a class 116 for our younger viewers) Bottom one is sign for the Gentleman's Lavatory. A BRCW 3 car suburban unit with the middle car taken out (a class 118). It differs from a Press Steel (class 117) unit in having the two lights under the windscreens (117 had them fitted later in life) and a flat top to is headcode box. Edit I have had a second squint at the top one, it is still a class 116 but like the other photo has had its middle coach nicked.

chrisf Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Actually, Clive, the 118s were a bit nomadic in their early years and there was a significant presence of them at Reading. Yes, I know that the humble dmu is regarded with not a little scorn by some readers of this thread but surely they are as entitled as the mighty kettle to be referred to accurately.
