I'll admit this is mainly to catch Steve Shanks eye, but all those very cool suits from Daz would look lovely on the Orient Express. Or the next car to Salisbury. A Brief Encounter suit and hat would be cool too. Emily

Which suits Emily?.....speaking of trains though :o)..i had a trip to the national railway museum where they have quen victorias old carraiges and got a few pics i was looking at the other day..but i didn't take many (i took mainly scene shots) and was debating a trip back at xmas with the lap top to get loads of pics, so something along those lines later i hope :o).......Steve

An old style railway carridge, that would be great!

Well, I was thinking Celia Johnson. But I'd go for either-- you have Mikes overcoat already. The Daz Italian suits had a look of early Hitchock-- not real early, but B/W at least. As long as you didn't see how short they were. Personally, I like the old-fashioned if tacky prewar trains. Where you need a strong man to really open the window and the suitcases are in danger of falling off the shelf above your head. And someone is always peering in the glass door to see if there's room or is just nosy. Went all over England in these in 72, I hear they are gone for good. Too bad. Emily

Brilliant idea Emily :o) :o) i have loads of source material for those on movies and they'd be great for various scenes, now what was that noel coward film where he was a ships captain and john mills was the ordinary seaman and they meet on the train LOL.....early 80s was the last time i was in one and its a shame they where much more comfy than the bus style seats these days......Steve

A look at the Wip of it...i need to build the outer wall incase yiu want to render from the othr side and add a few details, i found good pics on a "porridge" DVD so this is 70s style but i think then they just reupholstered the old carraiges so a darker texture would change it.......Steve

Yup, this is so spiffy-- mine were dull red.-- Dang!! that takes me back, Steve. Just wonderful. You hae to stand on the seat to get your bag off the rack if you're short-- lots of pinup opportunities here.:))) Emily
