They're kind of hidden away (in classic N3V style) in the new 'Tornado' DLC release, but packaged in there is a virtually complete set of Mk1 coaches in blue and grey livery! :clap:
My first response if that they look very good indeed and only a few issues need to be ironed-out (I think the livery is slightly 'off' with the blue needing to be a bit more green and the BCK, as you can see above, has mislaid the stepping board on the underframe which should be under the guard's and first class door but has been displaced to the right). However, these are quibbles.
A few suggestions:
I've posted this thread both to draw attention to this new release and to see if anyone shares my excitement (am I a lone Mk1 obsessive?) and for any other feedback.

A few suggestions:
- Could these Mk1s be uncoupled from the Tornado package and sold as a separate DLC package for TRS22? I think it's too niche if they're reserved for Gold or Plus members only.
- Will they be made available in BR maroon as this would benefit anyone modelling British Railways in the 1950s and 60s? Beyond that, regional liveries (choc and cream for Western Region and green for Southern Region) offer additional opportunities for DLC packs.
- This is a very comprehensive package and includes a catering vehicle - an RMB or miniature buffet - however, a full scale buffet/kitchen car such as the RB would complete the set if it were possible.
- I notice that the coaches feature B1, B4 and Commonwealth bogies across the set (in a somewhat random order). Is it, or should it, be possible to toggle between different bogies for each coach?
