Those look quite nice too. The little details such as the red springs and the stickers in the windows make them seem that much more realistic!

Day 3 is for Mk2a. I have given up on getting more as the prices sky rocketed, so I just have 4 in b/g
That last design really interests me. I think people have mentioned before about them - a whole train in one coachThey have lights too

There's a second half of this rake and the BFK is with the 2e rakeYou must have posh passengers with that much 1st class?
@reddragon - I missed that you said they had lights. Did you do that or were they factory fitted?

2x 2Es have lights, came with it 2nd hand maybe retro fitted
I now have 2 steam, 2 diesel, 8 coaches & 5 wagons on pre-order
I have a new arrival and plan to change a 3rd steam order to an EMU
Sounds about right for mk2's. My dad has a load of 1st class ones and hardly any standard.You must have posh passengers with that much 1st class?

NSE is one of my favourite liveries from probably the whole history of the railways so I absolutely love that. The Mk1 buffet looks really nice.

A very nice looking rake of coaches, the door grabs look like brass wire, are they Hornby ?

Mk1s are Bachmann, GW are Hornby
Sorry I didn't respond to this earlier. Those all look really nice - they're just containers I know, but seeing those reminds me of many happy days sat at Banbury watching the various freights go through and counting the wagons. Great fun and just shows how powerful the big freight locos today are!
Maroon Mk1s are probably some of my favourite coaches given the number of them I've seen on heritage railways. There's just something so wonderfully quaint and vintage yet modern to them (well, modern if you've spent too long watching films about them from when they were new - guilty as charged, your honour

Those viaduct 'construction' pictures at the beginning look fantastic, I really wish I had the patience to build something with seemingly such a high level of complexity. The train sets are a marvel to behold in my books too. 
Obviously the most important coaches in any train
Never experienced Mk1s on the mainline but those are definitely giving me some sort of odd nostalgia for the days when trains had walk-up buffets. I was thinking the same thing the other day actually about HSTs. But you don't get the funny moments of people getting stuck behind a buffet as you do with the trollies now!

There used to be a train on summer weekdays down here (a Manchester to Plymouth service I think) which had a mk1 RMB tucked right behind the 47. It was a very nice way to sample the sea wall on a sunny evening.

Now that does sound like bliss!There used to be a train on summer weekdays down here (a Manchester to Plymouth service I think) which had a mk1 RMB tucked right behind the 47. It was a very nice way to sample the sea wall on a sunny evening.
That sounds lovely! Might have to try and recreate that at some point. I've got a couple of buffet cars to make it even better too - just if I can find the bogie for one of them...There used to be a train on summer weekdays down here (a Manchester to Plymouth service I think) which had a mk1 RMB tucked right behind the 47.

All 6 of these have a load, the only ones so far.
day 9 blood & custard! 4 additions excluding catering cars! These have replaced my Mainline versions of which just 1 remains on eBay.

Now those look very nice. Although I'm not sure blood and custard would be a popular choice from the menu in the buffet...
