As the images demonstrate, this model will feature a superbly detailed interior, underframe and bogies, including many fine details - right down to the umbrella stands in the corridor!
Models will be available with a range of detail combinations, ranging from original LMS condition to BR vehicles with roof-mounted horns and ETH equipment. Most will feature the newly-designed LMS bogies, but the ScotRail saloon will ride on our existing B4 bogies.
In a change to the previously announced specification, the saloon has been designed to accept the easy-fit LED interior lighting bar.
The detachable roof, held in place with strong magnets, can simply be removed and the light bar dropped into place so that models can be fitted with lights in just a few seconds.
