These Caledonian/LMS coaches have scrubbed up well . I like the silver roofs - definitely adds to the appearance and makes them more LMS than the basic Tri-ang ones .
I'm a bid fan of the Patriot class loco's, they have an elegant look about them. Still have an early Hornby model and a later Bachmann model. Great to see them in action on your layout.
Hi Lynden, Yes, they do have a distinctive look about them and full marks to Hornby back in 1977 for introducing one. Thank you for your welcome comment! Graeme
And it would seem the setting is around Prestatyn, N wales where the Presthaven holiday site is now.. I been there loads of times, but in the LMS days, They'd prob. have 4 tracks, to be made into 3 later.
Possibly, a busy and lucrative section of line in its heyday, although the layout was not built with any particular location in mind, more atypical final years of BR steam. Many thanks for your observation and interest!

Yes, you are quite correct. A bit of paintwork can go a long way. Thank you for your observation. Most welcome!
