I really am enjoying this thread and learning a lot from it. Being in Canada I was not familiar with Network rail.
I think I may have a stab at making one or two of the "easier" looking coaches. I wouldn't mind having a go at the NMT, using the Hornby HST and then the etches from Pete. Don't know how difficult it would be for a novice?
Looking forward to the next round of updates.
Cheers
Scott
