It might be worth checking out the Europeanbahn forums, There's a thread titled "Goldstar" started by myself on the virtual railways board about a pullman style service.

Why so ?

Its set in current times with current operators, no real reason to include it in such a spec'd route.

Think it would need to be more 1960's fpr the Brighton Belle :) (can have a few bullied pacifics thrown in as well ;)).

There is NO 1970's addpack.

What there is a simple rebranding to make it look more like a 1970's version.
Different time periods make route construction very tricky, and involve so much work it becomes a major project which would need a proper retail release to make it worth doing.

we want one of these for Goldstar, as im the newly appointed VP. it would be brilliant as a nostalgia, we wouldnt even change the livery.

Why don't you make a 2BIL and edit it around to make a 5BEL? They're both similar.

Hey.... Oh no - 6PUL is not 5BEL. I have sent you drawings for the formation with a pullman car in it - not the all-pullman formation. never mind, that's half a start. I'll keep looking.

The 6PUL and later 6 PAN sets (with a pantry car) were used on the line to Bournemouth - a much more salubrious place than brighton IMHO.

Although my reliable sources inform me that the 6 PUL sets were actually built for the Brighton electrification in 1933 - so I'm not far off!
