New for the 2003 season is the introduction of set working on the SNBR. This means that the main coaches have been split into seperate sets totally 4 sets.
Sets 1, 2 and 3 are all 6 coach sets including 5 passenger carriages and 1 large luggage wagon.
Set 1 is painted red and cream (blood and custard) with a new SNBR badge on the corner in gold and gold numbers.

Set 2 is painted in Southern green, it retains the old crest and has gold numbering. This set also sports a red buffer beam and black ends.
Set 3 is painted dark blue with a grey stripe.
Set 4 contains the small luggage, the composite and the spare carriage, this set is likely to be will be a full 6 set but the spare passenger coach will be the compo. Expected to be stained rather than painted in a mahogany colour.

At present only 3 cars strong, this set (replicas of the DRGRRW freight cars) is expected to be made into a 6 set, this only run with Montezuma.
