Wow, Just wow. Were those vinyl's applied directly, or did you remove the GWR Green paint first ?

Nice, Are these few images representing Starcross/Dawlish/Dawlish Warren area by any chance ? (Nice Class 52 btw, I have one in Green)

On the topic of minimum radius for the Class 800, as well as the comment above re getting round tighter radii curves, but at slower speed, there is something else to take into consideration: Coach Length, Angles, and the distance between the bogies on each coach As mentioned above, I use Unitrack. As an example as to what I'm talking about: My tightest curve is R183. Mk2 coaches and my Class 37 go round just fine. Class 43's have no issues themselves, but put Mk3 coaches on it, and they can bump into rolling stock on the next less tight curve (R216). Cue needing the n gauge RAIB... I'll probably try it on R249 (The next Radii down from 282 with Unitrack), but I doubt it would work safely on R216 (I do not want to have to call the n gauge RAIB yet again!!). I'm sure all this could be worked out mathematically as to minimum clearance if someone was so inclined. Iain

I'd agree that best UK place is indeed Train Trax. In my experience they've always had plenty of stock
