2020_07_27 New PL Cars!

2020_07_27 Mailman delivers if Exhibitions fail to :D


Not happy with my Neo Austrains carriages!!
WHY?   Because they make my 6 old PL cars look so bad :) Ha Ha.

Very Happy with the upgrades. WoW check out the roof  vents. Who would have thought the old ones were so oversized.


Nice safe packaging and no loose bits either.


 Very crisp accurate production with very good lettering as expected from SDS


Close coupling without special couplers. So far they perform nicely around my tightest curves on the branch.



 Nice detailing better than my pictures show.


 They are nice reproductions of the older VR passenger carrages we all caught to outer suburban schools.

The guards compartment



And marker lights (sadly unlit)



 Nice rake of 4 carriages, looks about right :)


Full under body detail. Almost want you to put strategic mirrors, perhaps a bridge over a river?


 Sitting nicely behind a single T. Will look lovely behind a D3 with an AW mixed in among them :)


 Set up in the late afternoon for an early morning departure.


And as soon as the crew arrive to light it up, T408 will take the PL's to the end of the line.


Pretty happy with these little cars. Must do a video of them on the branch.

Cheers
Rod

  1. You made a good point about the better RTR models making older models look bad. I have always thought it a good aim to have some consistency but that seems to be getting harder! (No ultimate S trucks for me :) )
