I'm in!

Many thanks to Ben and Mike for getting us this far!

Baby_Pendo's tweet yesterday reminded me to check...Looks like I can fit two 9 car Pendolinos into my straight through platforms!    Cant fit them in the loops and looks like the drivers will need a ladder if they want to get out!

Have to pretend they can see the signals as well...

Wow! Just got Newsletter number 1 and realised the options are up in the air again for me. The distraction before were the shorter lengths but I was happy looking at at least a couple of full length 9 coach Pendolinos. Now I have sound to factor in!

On the one hand I will probably not have any other locos or trains with sound in the near future... but! Pendolinos with sound both ends for less than £100 is very exciting.  This does not increase the amount or money I'm thinking of spending, merely whether I go for rakes with sound or not. I would go for one more rake without sound and one less with sound. It looks like the important thing for the Kickstarter is the total money pledged so I dont think my decision will affect the project unduly!

Looking forward to the start in a couple of days.

Thanks

Class 800 and class 801? Looks like less tooling than the Pendolino and a couple of colour schemes straight out of the box!
