I'll buy one, whatever, but I'm tempted to suggest a cattle truck, as appropriate for some of our members.  Hat, coat, exit stage left and right.....

I suppose I would slightly prefer a van to an open wagon, but I don't really mind. What anniversary are we celebrating, is it 25? If so, something with silver lettering would be a bit different!

Cheers,

Chris

My vote would be for a simplistic design along the lines of the last one but a different colour.
How about black with white or yellow wording?

Ana Popovic has popped up on my radar lately.
If you like a bit of guitar music this might interest you.
There is a 2-3 minute intro from her band but the whole thing is well worth a listen in my opinion.

Dear all,

I'm trying to get the next NGF anniversary rolling stock ready, but I need your help.

There are some options for what rolling stock is available in large quantities, and I'd like you to choose which you'd prefer.

Additionally, I'd need to know what it would look like.  The last wagon was red, so I don't know if there would be preference for the same colour, or something different?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you.   

There used to be a supplier of a PCB on eBay for this purpose, but they seem to have stopped. LEDs with appropriate resistors, and a bridge rectifier to handle to unusual DCC waveform.

IIRC they've got 4 on the pantograph. Pretty sure they still work now there's no pantograph fitted, then you've got the scanning light on the same coach as a line covering the track bed.

What effects are you looking at replicating?

Dapol or Farish Mk3?

The Dapol Mk3 come with factory fitted electrical pick-ups and as easy to add lighting to. Both have space in the underframe for decoders and the necessary resistors.

Could be worse... Rod Stewart at Glastonbury, for instance 

Like the sound of whisky tasting Martin @port perran but no so the sound of Cast I am afraid!
