Hi Jerry, superb work as always! Really pleased with how the 58s are coming along. To answer Chris' question, yes the drivers are from modelu. Sorry to hear about the old folks but hope you enjoy your break. All the best!

Hello,

As the title states I was wondering what the differences are between a mk2 RLO and a RFB. I’m modelling the Inverness sleeper circa 1999. I know that at least one RFB was used (1217 I believe) but the rest of the fleet were RLOs. With Bachmanns new RFB I am going to add one to my fleet but this has got me wondering if I would be able to change it into a RLO. To my untrained eye they look to be the same but I was hoping somebody with more knowledge than myself could shed some light on any differences between the two. Thanks.

I'm glad you resurrected your thread Jon as I've always found your projects not only done to an exceptionally high standard but also of a very interesting subject matter. Keep up the good work

Hi Jim, first time posting on the thread but I've always enjoyed following your tales. Don't get too hung up about that idiot, there's plenty of them in the world. The way I look at it when I have to deal with them at work is I've only got to deal with them the once whereas they've got to live their whole life being a plonker. It is nice when they get caught out though. I was once called a f'ing c##t by a passenger for asking him to turn off his blaring music, walked away and called for BTP, the look on his face as he was escorted off the train at the next station was priceless. You did the right thing though, unfair as it is if you were to retaliate it's you that gets in trouble.

this may be of interest. It says the first "super 60" has already been released, they don't mean 011 do they?
