Hello,
All the recent talk about the Roco BR 44 got me looking at big steam locomotives, and I remembered seeing a rather smart looking BR 03.10 on Steve Jones' Electric Nose website, Roco again as it happens! Here is a link to the entry on his website, with a very good picture of the model:

And in N scale, without the extra few detailing parts fitted such as front wheel guards etc:
Anyway, Minitrix made a model a few years ago and I'm wondering which coaches would be appropriate for such an Epoch III locomotive on Rheingold duty? The Epoch III coaches that they released at the same time look a bit less exotic than some of the earlier ones and I was curious if such a train would pull other coaches / trains? (Please ignore that I model N scale and so whether any appropriate models exist!!)
Although primarily a modern electricrified modeller there is definitely something magnificent about the steam engine and so I am keen to have a few show trains to run such as the legendary Rheingold. So this Minitrix model has a loud engine allegedly, but I'm sure I won't be able to hear it over the Wagner...
