    Hi

    Thank you for your reply. I love the model. I love Wagon Lits, and Pullman. One of my best friends is Antony Ford, author of many Pullman books and a world expert on Pullman, and Wagon Lits. 

    Can you advise me, I would like to consider making this kit. I am used to modelling in wood. I have made many model ships, including Amati. These include all the cannons rigging etc But I have never used soldered metal. Do you think , in your opinion that this kit is within my capability. I have attached some images of my models.

    Look forward to hearing from you.

      Hi

      Thank you, I have found one, but do you think this is the best to go for. It is only for display. Unless you suggest anything else, I will go for it.

      thanks

      PS I expect you seen the Golden Arrow Models  Pullman pre made in brass, O gauge. Beautiful ! Think they not made anymore.

      Thank you for your reply. Antony’s books are superb and I am very proud to have contributed to some of the books in a small way. 

      Thank you for your kind words on my ships. A question for you though, do Amati only make a sleeping car? Where will I find one, is t still made ?

      If you wish you. An PM me and we can discuss some more, if you would like to.

    Hi

    Talking about emu’s, I’m going to put lighting in my Hornby Bils and Hal’s . Do you know if the headcode boxes were lit, and what was the tail lamp arrangement, the later emu’s had 2 white bars? Later 2 red bars? Just wondered if you knew,

    regards

    Hi

    Thanks for the info on the lights, I’m going to go for the battery ones. Just 1 question, I’m fitting them initially to some 2 bil/Hal units , early 60’s . Should I fit warm white or amber? I’m thinking warm white as amber might indicate gas lights?

    thanks
