I for one will be getting a couple of full brakes in SR livery from both Hornby & Hattons. My only whinge, is that the distinctive look-outs of the Brake coaches preclude representing many designs with plainer ends or with central duckets. I've long wanted to replicate a LCDR close coupled 7 coach suburban rake and now I have a RTR basis for all but the brake ends. In the past, a bit of 'cut & shut' would have solved the problem but with the prices as they are these days it's debateable whether spending £60+ to get one 6 wheeled coach into a suitable state is worth it. on.....oh well, can't have everything!
