Whaaaaat? Glasgow to Edinburgh trains for years. Glasgow to Ayrshire trains until 1983. Many similar inter city DMUs (I don't care about detail or substantial differences as long as they get those ends right) in the west country wales and west midlands. Why do they need to be useful? Is the blue pullman useful? Is Tornado?

No point in having fine detail if the manufacturers cannot get the size, shape and livery correct? very few N scale models are all three. Unless of course you are a collector? I think that quite a number of people fall into that bracket.

These models take longer to design and build than the 1:1 scale.

We would have far more models of the trains we would like if some people put the magnifying glass and the reference books down. Excellent quote - "at normal viewing distances - approximately right even if precisely wrong". Getting the shape and colour scheme correct is no1 in my book.

C'mon. Inter-city DMUs are missing BIG TIME!

Yes there seems to be some stupid versions of coaches punted out. Sorry to digress but it illustrates my point. Hornby maroon coach with modern graffiti ???????. back to farish the pullmans are an example of making too many. They are not even close coupled! MK2B required (after MK2F of course).
