Absolutely worth a watch if you didnt see it before.
Then go and order Dapol's HST prototype :)

I watched it in May and decided I needed such an iconic train, causing me to spend some sponduliks with Dapol.....

... and if you did watch it first time round, it's well worth seeing again.

The rivet counters will say you have the coaches in the wrong order, but I'm pleased to see you dont have a TGS, which were a late addition to the original blue grey regime...thanks to guards complaining about their accommodation in the power cars being too noisy to do the crossword.

[they should be (as of 1977) TF-TF-TRUB-TS-TS-TS-TS]
