Hi Andrew, I also wondered about the ridges on the Dj short hood. I noticed that they are present on the Railmaster, Midland line and Online kits but absent on...

It also seemed to me from the few times I rode them that the cabs were a very good "calm" environment with good visibility . I liked them . Any drivers out...
I really liked the recabbed Dg look and am thinking of starting a fan club for them, perhaps even a Yahoo group. In my mind they improved an ugly duckling...
Red with silver stripes, don't you mean? The Di's have always appealed to me, even though I have never seen one in the metal, so to speak. Pity there were not...
