i don't think this has been posted already, but found this on another forum.
The Complete FIRST GREAT WESTERN train set comprising :
1 x HST set with a disappointing number of second-hand carriages and without restaurant car.
1 x Class 57 GM powered diesel locomotive for pulling the above.
1 x Cotswold Class 47 for pulling the above when the Class 57 GM is broken.
1 x First Trans Pennine liveried Class 158 with authentic non working air-conditioning
system, and jammed door.
1 x Wessex Trains liveried Class 150 unit complete with 2 rolls of masking tape for essential
repairs.
1 x Class 153 (without engine) so it can sit on the depot all day just like the
real thing.
6 x pots of Humbrol paint in various colours so that you can constantly repaint
the above.
2 x overcrowded platforms with half the passengers permanently attached to the
platform surface so that they remain standing even when the train has left.
Full set of plasticine figures that can be squeezed into
rolling stock run during peak hours.
10 x Teignmouth thugs for disrupting Saturday night operations.
Authentic Victorian signalling system (available only to purchasers in
Cornwall).
300 miles of previously owned track (available for rent only not included in
purchase price).
1 x broken down freight train complete with GM Class 66 locomotive.
3 x luxury First liveried buses for those days when you cant be bothered to
run the train set.
3 x revenue protection officers (choice of surly, arrogant or messiah complex).
1 x Barbie doll complete with energiser batteries giving enough play time for 10
hours of continuous excuses.
2 x passenger information boards (blank for added realism).
5 x booking office windows.
1 x booking office clerk.
Now you can sit and play trains every day of the week (except Sundays, Bank Holidays, some Saturdays and also weekday evenings).
Available from all good stockists, but hurry (i.e. drive there) as the price will increase way above inflation in the New Year.
