Any train consist data would be most appreciated. I am working from photos for that aspect, which while obviously accurate, are just snapshots of unique instants and not necessarily representative. Or even complete. In the end, it really depends on what I can model to a good enough standard. For example, I am not sure whether I can do a decent end railing for the NALs. A nice thing about 3D printing is that once I do get a model right, it is easy to mass-produce a batch of them.
Anyway, typical Garratt-hauled and single/double headed NA trains are what I am looking for. As for the new Garratt, I was aware that it was in the pipeline, but hadn't realised it was going to be in service so soon. I don't currently have any plans to make a model of it, because I am already chomping at the bit to start work on the next little layout. That one will probably get under way while I wait for the trees to arrive.
