I think the whole idea of curtains is kinda dopey but can't you exchange these?

By using the chassis from the 50' BG,Hornby could do the LMS Inspection saloons,-a long-lasting prototype with many livery variations and a wide geographical usage,and you only need one and a loco to form a train!,-ideal for any layout.
How about it Hornby?,c'mon you now it makes sense!

Oh,and there are several preserved examples,so research should be easy..but
they'd have to do some decent B4 bogies to do the latter-day survivors in EWS (and other liveries) though.

I have looked at different photos of the coaches as I still do not have one. I like the curtains and I am happy that Hornby has not omitted them.

The BR version does not have the roundel (or is it crest) like the Mk1 coaches. Has BR only used it on Mk1 coaches or have there been big four coaches with it? I hope there have been some as the coachs look less plain with it.
I think Hornby once again have a great product with these coaches and the price is very reasonable when compared with continental coaches.

There is just one thing I would like: weathering. Hornby did very well with the weathered MK1 coaches. I am bit of a coward, only weathering goods rolling stock but not daring to spoil nice locos and coaches. As most seem to prefer pristine ones maybe there could be enough demand for some limited edition coach packs?

I'm sure one of the other companies did the LMS coaches with curtains maybe mainline. I think they look OK especially at the side of the royal train pack that hornby did a couple of years ago, didn't buy it cos of that.

Speaking of the bachmann pullman curtains they really do set the era as late 60's early 70's in my opinion as they remind me of some pretty grim caravans we looked into buying which hailed from that era. or the back curtain in the photo booths.
