Mine arrived today from Hornby - easy to remove the buffers on the Trailer Standards and the Buffet, but had to cut them off of the TGS (reflects the Lima heritage of the tooling for that particular coach, I presume). I know that the tooling is all a bit dated, but they look very good to me (I don't want lit interiors). It's now clear (if it wasn't before) why the power cars had to be gloss - not sure how else Hornby would have recreated the matt livery detail at one end of each coach. I'll have to try to work out how to close couple them though.
Just waiting for the belatedly announced First to arrive - that one has to come via Cornwall...
One for the magnifying glass brigade - I've only checked on Trailer Standard No 42351, but what's wrong with the coach designation letter printing (D in this case) - you'll have to check both ends
