Hello and good evening,
I hope, I've chosen the right section and somebody could help me please.
While browsing some model train retailers in GB on the internet, I've spotted the superb Hornby model of the former Southern HA, after TOPS came in effect: BR class 71. E.g. wikipedia says, that class 71-locos also hauled the famous passenger trains 'Golden Arrow' and 'Night Ferry' from London to Dover v.v., which drew up my attention. As an enthusiast of night trains all over the world, the 'Night Ferry' would be very interesting to be repiclated in 00-gauge. Are currently the CIWL-/SNCF-sleeping coaches, which were in use for the 'Night Ferry', in production by any modeltrain company or were they ever offered in former years? My research wasn't succesful.
Any information would be most appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
Phil from Germany
