And that could be the way to smuggle it in, in a box marked TEA SET.
My Tee set is also a seven car unit and it makes it look an impressive length when running. All coaches and power cars are lit by self- adhesive copper strips/tape with leds soldered to them (about £1.50 per coach). I've painted the interiors to match the original colour schemes of the Tees and added passengers. The so-called restaurant car has had its interior compartments removed and I've modeled a dining car with tables, table lights, a hidden kitchen and diners. The set is analog controlled and has Phoenix Sound with a speaker in each power car. The sound is for a Tee - one chap who saw it running at a show said that it sounded exactly right as he regularly rode the real thing when he lived in Germany for many years. My grateful thanks to my good friend Neil Robinson for installing the lights and sound.

You know what the next requirement is Gizzy, pictures on your line and even a visit to the DR will be welcome! Sure you would love to see it stretch its legs on a fully 4ft Rad line!

Hi, I too have this set it is beautiful and good value. I also purchased extra coaches. This is a beast in length and it needs the bigger radius bends too. I also purchased kitchen sponges to make the inter car bellows so these are now looking neat and fully made up. I opted for the sponges with finger ridges so you get that in-out shape. Sound units are nice needs long runs to show off its size and elegant shape.
I finally brought it and duly unpacked it!

That's basically my set up at the current time, until I put in the return loop at some point....I should forget loops or R1s, just a huuuuge long straight and a reversing module
I took an end of one of the coaches yesterday, as part of one side had sprung out. I managed to spring it back in without any damage, but if you have any info about getting inside these coaches to put in passengers, then I'd be grateful for the info.
As for getting 2 sets running together, the dummy couplings would have to be changed for either hook and loops or maybe the coupling used to connect all the vehicles together....
