Just wished to add my paean to Revolution Trains' S.R. General Manager's Saloon, 'Caroline'.  Arrived on Monday, and on initial inspection it looks excellent to me.  Taking the precaution of un-packing it on a white napkin, only the coupling hook fell off, which I am too ham-fisted to re-attach.

Here it is, arriving at Atherington Victoria upon news of an out-break of Victorians populating the platform.  (Please forgive my flippancy, but I have nothing better in which to pose it.)

To paraphrase someone else on the thread, 'it is a d--n sight better than I could make from any kit!'  The orange curtains bring back happy memories of S.R. E.M.U.s in the 1970's.
