Each Pullman set is packed in a handsome carrier case that accommodates one extra coach if required. This extra space may be very useful as shortly single Pullman coaches will become available. This includes a new bar coach, couplages and single coaches with names chosen by the customer.

The new Non-Corridor stock

The first litho printing of Darstaed’s scale length Non-Corridor stock has now been completed. The first phase will comprise LNER, LNWR, GWR and LBSCR liveries. These rakes are being assembled as you read and will be available shortly.

The set will contain 2 brake ends (one with working rear light), two 3rd Class and one 1st Class coach.

All coaches will feature:
- Sprung bogies (without visible screw on the bogie side)
- Fitted interior lighting
- Fitted interior
- LNER and GWR will feature newly designed clerestory roofs with glazing
 
The next litho session will feature the following liveries :
CR, LSWR, SECR, LMS (2 versions), BR Maroon and SR Olive Green.
           
LMS will be issued in two versions; one version with white-rimmed wheels and a clerestory roof and a later version with a higher rounded roof and no white-rimmed wheels.
 
The price of each set of 5 is 295 (+ P&P).
The 2-6-2 tank locomotive

As promised the 2-6-2 project has gone through an evolutionary process as you’ll be very shortly able to see on our website. Not only the exterior has been made more prototypical of the liveries represented but also the mechanism is of a new design that can be equally applied to all our mainline engines.

The first liveries will match the ten liveries of the Non-Corridor coaches plus one Australian, a New Zealander, two DRG, a DB and a PLM. The first engine to be produced is the LBSCR, this time in the appropriate colour.

2010
The “Manhattan” project Tornado is now under way and in the future we will dedicate our time for the development of five more steam locomotives for the British market, in 2010 mainline corridor coaches and a further eight liveries of Non-Corridor coaches.

For Continental operators we shall bring out a rake of new PLM coaches (not Ace related) and finally in early summer the traditional 40cm Darstaed coaches in a completely redesigned form. At the same moment the Night Ferry will be available. We do hope our competitors will introduce an engine able to pull the heaviest train ever to run on British metals.
