Nice one guys, <br />Another nice little set up here in the Uk is the track inspectors car. It's a coach of, I think, the 60's with one end of the coach adapted into a salon with windows in the end and painted in LMS crimson lake. I once saw it close up at Derby stationand I have seen it being used on the west coast main line. The salon section has 2 swivel leather armchairs on each side centered over the rail with a conference desk/dining table behind. The centre section is a fully equipped galley and the forward section is, I think, sleeping compartments. The coach operates on its own pulled by whatever loco is available and the track inspectors sit in the armchairs looking backwards at the track and listening to the rail noise. The train pulls over for meals and I suspect the crew overnight in the coach. I suspect that this exists in many guises around the world and if it has/does in America it would be worth bashing a Bachmann coach around to model. <br />If any of you guys in the states have a picture of anything like this I would appreciate a look at it & i'll have a go. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
