mozzer models Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hi Mozzer, The twin-set looks real nice (could do with some pearls and a purple rinse?). You said it was a nice kit to work from. Did you say which kit you have been building? I'm aware of the MARC kit, but I believe there are others (D&S and Bill Bedford to start with...). Regards, Vernon The kit was by a Member over on the Model Rail Forum user name pedromrgan I had finished of a 3rd class twin set & restaurant set for a custoner But need a 1st set to finish the rake off & as the other kit were by him i got the 1st twin to make up the 7 coach set Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can come up with Motor, (now T normally stands for Tourist or third ) unit. OzzyO. Hi OzzyO. I was going to ask the same thing, but there is a link somewhere above to pictures of the real thing. I think its something to do with it being a test train. Nice job so far though Mozzer. Perhaps you could re-post a link here as I have had trouble locating it too..... Cheers. Sean. Oh, it just came to me, it's mobile test unit is it not?..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
