I can assure everyone that I am in no fit state to be chasing nurses - in fact I can barely move!

But thanks for the thoughts!

Take it easy George and behave yourself in the hospital.

Take it easy George, no running around chasing nurses.

Hope you have a speedy recovery

George may be out of action for a while as, of all things, he tripped over his walking stick, crashed to the kitchen floor and has fractured his pelvis
I think the local hospital now refer to him as a frequent flyer

I can't add more specifics, but if you've not already seen
https://ngauge.org/

it lists all RTR "modern image" n gauge models from the main manufacturers. So you can see what has been made under what tooling. Very useful.

Mk2bs were introduced in 1968 (rather than 1969), but otherwise your dates look to be correct.

Farish have made two original Mk2 (also known as Mk2z):

374-951   SR Green
374-952   BR Maroon

Otherwise, as outlined above they've only made the Mk2a and Mk2f.


You'll find Poole era Farish Mk2 masquerading as Mk2c and Mk2e, but not in Blue/Grey livery.

If you can track them down, TP Models (now closed) did a series of inlays for the earliest Farish Mk2 allowing the Mk2b and Mk2c to be modelled, but with work to be done on the roof and underframe which were from the air-con Mk2d.

Another option is Vinyl sides - since the apparent demise of the Electra Graphics range your only option is the one or two sellers on eBay.



I'm hoping Revolution Trains will turn their attention to the Mk2b and Mk2c once they've completed the Pullmans.

You can add photos to PMs and posts but need to learn how to upload photos to the forum.
It's quite clunky but once you've done it a few times it becomes easy.
Have a look at this helpful guide to uploading pictures.......

Since that post some modifications have taken place and you may need to resize your photos. I'd suggest nothing bigger than 500KB should be uploaded.

Note - it helps to have 2 tabs open with the forum on both.

 Hi all,
 Can you post a photo or PDF file on a PM and if so how is it done.(Warning Im old and a Technophobe)
