One either side I assume. And I agree, not obviously destination boards, will need some very carefully printing on waterslide paper.

My memory and looking at photos taken at the time confirms that by 1970 most trains ran with the majority of coaches being pure second class, varying between corridor and open. Yes there would be a second class brake, maybe two along with some first and maybe buffet or restaurant. However in OO scale it is very hard to get either a 2nd open or a second corridor coach. Most seem to be composite or brake. Could Hornby model Mk1 and Mk2 second class coaches (open and corridor) in blue and grey?

I have purchased a number of 57' suburban coaches, a mix of ex-LMS and Collett. All coaches come with a couple of alternative couplers which I like. However the Collett coaches R4878A, R4879A, R4880A, R4881 & R4881A all come with a couple of flexible grey strips in the same plastic bag as the alternative couplers. Can anyone shed any light on these, please

I can see the advantage of steel track for older loco's where the motor was simpler but the large magnets involved helped adhesion. The downside is that it needs far more cleaning (especially if you live by the coast) and once rusted is useless. However I am trying to ascertain if the different metals conduct electricity differently. Is N/S more conductive than steel? Can anyone give me a comparison?
