How long did the class 33 last into privatization and what where the colours.

 Thrifty Yankee Boston and Maine, running between Boston and tiny rural
towns (no where's ville) , never had a flashy name train in the class of
the Senator, the 20th Century, or even the Merchant's Limited on the New
Haven.

l am driving to the train fair at Market Harborough on sunday and am
interested in N gauge (thinking of beginning a layout) and need inspiration.
Does anybody know if this scale is well represented at these fairs as l have
to travel quite a long way and do not want to waste my time ...

anyone know anything about it.  The initial pictures are of a brass
model, but this is great for n scale, if it runs well.

I've been asked to find out any information on the 'running order' of the
'teak' coaches that were run with the Mallard.
I believe there were 1st 2nd and 3rd Class with perhaps Dining Coaches?
Is it correct that coaches were turned around at the London end before

Does anyone know how I can get the bodyshell off a Hornby Percy electric
loco?  I wish to install a DCC chip but cannot fathom how the shell comes
off.

I want to model an MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority)
commuter rail F40ph. Are these available or are decals available in HO
scale. Does anyone know if they used other diesels and are they
available. Thanks

To anyone who has seen this yet I have one question:
What the hell was Dave Barrow thinking? Doesn't
work for me. Minimalism....feh!

Is Funaro & Camerlengo the only company to manufacture a model of a Sears
Catalog Home in any scale?
