Yes please!!!!!!!
But as well as the additional coaches to get it up to say a ten coach train (e.g. M1, R1, R2, R6, R9, R10, R13, R17, R18, M2) the model also needs a major upgrade even just to match the standards set by the Pendolino.
Including-:
OO gauge scale articulated bogies and corridor connections (I believe the existing ones were incorrectly scaled at HO to rush the model out - lack of headroom height!).
A better method of joining the articulated coaches.
A better (more powerful) motor.
Better pantographs.
Working lights.
Incidentally the model as it stands didn't get a terribly good review in the 2008 'Model Rail RTR' Directory, in particular it was critisised for being rather 'toy like'.
