Same unit with some tinsel on the front: 207010.1 by mike bunker, on Flickr

Comment from Flickr user Adrian Nicholls under a picture of 207010: "Geoff, efforts were made to run a 'Hastings' unit through to France before the stock was withdrawn using the Dover Train Ferry.

I wouldn't bother ploughing through separate threads; I like it all in one place.

Thanks for the Dapol bargains info. Have started a new layout and they're doing the OO gauge OHLE wire packs at significantly reduced prices. Got each of the five packs for around the price of one.
