The pantos go up and down and the doors open and close. I wonder if the open on each side or on both sides otherwise the Presier figures may fall out onto the six foot way? Tim

Well, David, the photo below may ease your concerns about the colours matching perfectly: You can see that the beige on the near coach is lighter than on the rest of the train. Thus, some mismatch of colour is actually prototypical. The rest of the post is on DSO here: http://drehscheibe-online.ist-im-web.de/forum/read.php?10,3619074,3619578#msg-3619578 Jurgen

Further to the question of whether the Roco and Ade coaches would work together, in this DSO post: http://drehscheibe-online.ist-im-web.de/forum/read.php?10,3619074,3626906#msg-3626906 the writer says in his opinion, the Ade and Roco coaches match so well that they look as though they came from the same factory.

Hmm, Sounds very promising, I need to get one. David
