Coach in most later photos is a 4 compartment Thompson non corridor brake by the look of it. Did exist as an Ultima kit

Is available RTR in orribly oversized.

@Suffolk Rob
Is that the same Killin where I stayed at The Falls of Dochart Inn last year?

Yes it would be. Used to be a short branch off the Calandar and Oban line. Not the most interesting line but typically a 1 coach train with a 4mt tank in it's final years. Buildings available from Pop up designs and always thought it would make a decent micro layout

Yes!

A one carriage train shuttled from Killin Junction on the C&O (Callendar & Oban, not Chesapeake & Ohio!) to Killin. The line continued to the closed station at Loch Tay where the locomotive shed was located at the end of the line. Worked by ex Caledonian Railway 0-4-4T locomotives for years and, latterly, by superpower in the form of BR '4MT' 2-6-4Ts.

The engine had to run round its train at Killin station, which didn't have a loop. The solution would have made Grantham's most famous resident* proud.

There's lots 'N' lots of photographs of the line in its final years and it has featured in the model railway magazines.

* No, not Lady Thatcher - the other one.

All the very best.

Had thought I'd given my 3 some time back but apparantly not. What I would have said if I had is.

Loco: 21/29

Coach: At the time I would have said a non-corridor coach that would pass muster for a representation of the Killin Branch train. Dapol LMS suburban will do the job (assuming they find the last 10% of interest) even if not the exact type used

Wagon: OTA

Phew.... I go out for the morning and end up with lots of music to listen to.

In the end it was an easy selection for me.

Kraftwerk - I've never been a fan.

Section 25 - interesting and listenable.

Claire Hamill - as with much of her stuff I'm still on the fence.

Metal Heart - Just a no.

Nightwish -  A racket  :D

Oh dear - not much there for me today.

Quote from: EtchedPixels on Yesterday at 12:56:36 PMAn AM10 would be nice (as someone who grew up near Birmingham) but the EMU world seems to be surprisingly badly covered in RTR until you get to modern image where we've got a huge selection (but still need a FLIRT)

Always up for a flirt.
When someone discovers how to do curved windscreens I reckon we'll get an AM10 and maybe a Trans Pennine class 124 but, by then, I'll probably be dust in the wind :dighole:
