    EPS class 37/6 fleet questions?

    Sprinterguy, Thanks for the info on the fleet history. I can't seem to find a picture on the web of EPS 608 or 611/612. Especially the 608 though. I've seen it mentioned the EPS 601 and 612 had been outfitted for 100 mph running. All 12 got 50 bogies fitted though for 90 mph according to...

    EPS class 37/6 fleet questions?

    Anyone making Le Shuttle stock in N Scale?

    I came across this interesting project by PT Models to make the Le Shuttle wagons. I just can't tell if they have them available though? https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.561864684016689.1073741833.556965207839970&type=3 Looks like a work in progress at this point. Robert

    Anyone making Le Shuttle stock in N Scale?

    Mr Toad, I saw those auction pictures. The consist of 9 club cars is kinda ridiculous though as it's not a real formation for a Le Shuttle. I'm interested in whether or not anyone made the car and Lorrie transporter wagons? I keep seeing glimpses of kits by CJM/ Farrish. But they don't appear...

    Anyone making Le Shuttle stock in N Scale?

    Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone is offering the Le Shuttle trains in N scale? I've seen the power cars in N scale. They wanted $400 for the pair. But locos are not much good without the proper consists to go behind them. Robert

    Shunter hunt?

    ExRes, Thanks for the update on the class 73 locos. I've also made note of the class 08 being listed as the Temple Mills shunter. I just don't know how accurate the info is? 08948 is seldom photographed. Robert

    Shunter hunt?

    Hi everyone, I am just wondering if anyone could confirm the status of Class 08948? A photo here https://hiveminer.com/Tags/08948 would suggest the old Eurostar shunter is now in the deadline. Speaking of old Eurostar locos, What ever happened to the pair of class 73 locomotives? Robert

    BVE, is it still alive?

    That strongly depends on whether or not a specific addon needs sounds, shapes, or textures from any of the default MSTS stock. There is a demo route from Making Tracks available on the ORTS site that can be plugged into ORTS to get a feel for ORTS. http://openrails.org/download/content/ The...
