I am so very happy.

Hatton's has the Heljan-Olivia's Trains 27001 Ariadne listed as a bargain, just under 100 GBP.   Once I was through processing, I had it bought and shipped for $110.   Great deal!   I do need to figure out which coaches are appropriate for a Brunswick green 77, though.  Any opinions?   I was thinking maroon was the livery to grab?

I also ordered a second-hand Lynton & Barnstaple 4-wheel open.    Just adding to a small collection of narrow gauge.   Might have more to post about that soon.

Finally, for tonight, I also picked a used Graham-Farish Class 08.    Honestly, the color didn't matter to me, as I plan to use the chassis as a donor for a kit at some point.

Thankfully, it all runs.   No concerns then.
