Probably not, so there's your perfect excuse for a field trip

I've just seen on ebay a Terry Martin book at £230 titled Halfway to Heaven and Vol 1 Iron Sherpa at £131 pricey!

Terry Martin died in April 2010 prior to the printing of Vol 2.

Iron Sherpa Vol 1 is currently reduced by the DHRS - http://www.dhrs.org/sales2/contents/en-uk/d25.html

Whilst I don't know about passenger stock, there is the excellent booklet titled 'Darjeeling Wagons, Scale drawings and photographs for modellers'.

It contains a selection of good quality drawings and is shown as available on the DHRS website.

'Halfway To Heaven' is a very informative book with plenty of photographs, but the drawings focus on the steam loco fleet.

Hope this is of some help.

Thankyou. The 7/8ths website as some interesting articles and references but the books are the best resource.
