Just seen this advertised on the back page of the Life section in today's Daily Telegraph. I definitely want one - apparently they're available in John Lewis for £35. It looks most like a C Stock to me </endless debates>   |

depending on how large they are, they could be draught excluders, sofa-long cushions, down-the-side-of-the-bed pillows, interesting parcel-shelf accessory for the car... sky's the limit, really!

I'm sure a bit of dye would solve that problem!
It's already marketed as a "Tube Train Draught Excluder" so the profile's gotta be pretty much correct.

It looks most like a C Stock to me </endless debates> With bulging sides like that, I think it can only be modelled after the Space Train concept ;D |

The bulging sides are more reminscent of the 1920 Cammell Laird tube stock but don't you think that speculation such as this shows that we all need to get out more . Having said that, I still want one..... |

If you remove some of the stuffing, you could use it as a peter heater. Much needed by men in the UK at the moment, I would think!

Whatever stock it's supposed to be, and I think it's supposed to be, the cab side doors are wrong and should be white and not red.

Well as the front blind is blank, hopefully the rear should too!

Don't be silly, that's clearly so you can write your own destination on there. ;D
