    Sorry Paul, cheap day return tickets didn't start until 9:00 so into Reading about 9:45. The class 119s were painted in the early lighter mu green , same as W33-1096-W38 so a contrast to the darker 117s. Regards , Rod.

    I lived in Basingstoke and regularly "spotted" at Reading from 1958 onwards, and worked there from 64 to 66. W33-1096-W38 were the regular units on the Newbury line frains from 58 until they were scrapped. When in for sevicing/repair they were replaced by a Gloucester 3-car cross-country unit in the series W51052 etc .(class 119) Regards Rod.

    It doesn't. Peco code 83 is specifically US prototype. The sleeper size.spacing and method of fixing to the track (spikes) is purely North American.If you want European code 83 track look at the Tillig range.
