Hi,

Tacky, is the interior of a V set (you know, THAT orange/yellow). Going in 
one reminds me of the 1960's, thankfully an era that I didn't have to live 
through (yeah ok, i was born in the 70's) :-) Okay, they are still my 
favourite set in NSW though. If it came to a choice between it, and the XPT 
to travel to and from Melbourne, I'd choose the V set. For comfort, a G set 
would come a close second. Now im yet to decide which is more 
uncomfortable, a Hitachi or an XPT :-)

Regards
Michael
