It's not so much that, Tim. What Skynyrd do is fine but, seriously, she does sound as if her teeth don't fit properly. :uneasy:
Have another listen

Loved it all apart from poor Dolly. She sounded like she had problems with her teeth :hmmm:

Dolly was laid to rest today and this popped up on Planet Rock tonight and somewhat surprised me. Probably not for everyone but interesting...


I didn't know she released a rock album.

I'm not a lot of help as I run a total mish-mash of.....

3 x Farish 0787 BG
6 x Farish 374-901A TPO (yes - lights on a DC carriage)
1 x Farish 0797 POS

The 1st and 3rd items carry the arrows of indecision so are a tad late for the TPOs but, hey, they are all red so look good :)

Super BG (Farish)
4x Sorting/stowage van, followed by a GUV or Super GUV.

The Super BG was a Mk1 BG refurbished with the double doors replaced with roller shutters. Likewise with the GUV.

1 BG Gangway Brake
2 POT Stowage Vans
3 POS Sorting Vans

374975 abd 980 are designated POT

Looking at 374901 / 2


Are you modelling any particular area / region as some formations were short and later
became longer trains egoriginated Plymouth travelling to Scotland?

Well my layout isnt really based on any particular place, just a hypothetical route going from London to Scotland, prob based around the Newcastle area.

Im just after something that would look like you would see on the tracks as there not many pictures online to base it on and most are blury at best. Was looking at the 374-775B and 374-776B. Would they be made up of a mix of Era8 and Era9 stock?
