Doubt that very much - as Neil say, the German market is the critical one weather people in the UK like it or not. The efforts will be concemtrated in the mainland european markets first, sure some products will be available in the UK but probably not as freely as we (including myself) would wish.

Lots of wagon lits and many in the blue and cream livery that i love.

Interesting and different stuff from lima. i wonder what the prices will be.

Peter,

Kernow seem to be the best bet at present.

I must admit the Wagon Lits coaches are some very nice models, put either a Big French,German or Austrian pacific on the front of a rake of six plus coaches and run it at scale speed, it makes for a very elegant visual train

All Blue looks good or run the Golden Arrow on the French side with the Blue and White Pullman/Saloon cars.

That's what we are trying to achieve on St.Laurent !

I've trawled through a few of the regular Continental shops I use and none of them even have Rivarossi listed. I'm not hopeful but will persist as I really want these coaches.
