thanks, the galaxy express coaches were ones in used on my childhood layout, 35 years ago. A BR mk1, LNER sleeper and LNER brake. Airbrushed silver with blue stripes to match the main stripes on the Queen Elizabeth. The coaches were upgraded with sitting passengers, and coach lighting. The overall colour of Blue and Silver matched the white and blue of the city, and even the blue and white of our team shirts.
The loco was chosen because of its sleek ‘futuristic’ overall look and it’s bold colour.
