Thanks, Huw. I have thought, as well, of implementing techniques of the APT
construction, but, I thought that perhaps I could find a use for the 4559
pieces here. I'd love to do a rebuild; but, that is a very back-burner project.
I like Ben's suggestion to model the rounded underside of the passenger
wagons. Have you got quarter-curved bricks to try that?

Ah, this is the livery I should remember having seen them fly through
Grantham, Lincolnshire in Spring 1981. :-)
I'm looking forward to seeing your IC125 model.
later,
