    Would anyone happen to have, or know where I could obtain drawings for any of the DART units?

    Preferably the 8100 stock but anything would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Email or write to Inchicore works and ask is the best I can come up with. There is someone who has made a 00 scale model of the 8100 DART units, he may have drawing he worked off. Check below.

    Thanks for the tip.

    €400!!! I'd want something that looked a bit better than that effort.

    You should see what they look like now, a world apart from the early versions. They have full glazing windows and fully modeled interiors with passengers. Not the printed sides version on the early pages.

    Yes, I'd seen the glazed and unglazed versions, the glazed one looks excellent! It's been a long time since I had a model railway myself, but if the prices are in any way indicative, I'm glad I switched to the digital version!
