Oldfield_Park Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Morning all, As a little mini-project, due to the fact that a new home has resulted in a big clear out and slightly reduced space, I'm thinking of modelling a little something around the north coast of Morayshire. 1959-69 is the planned time period, but I'm struggling a bit with ideas of coaching stock for the earlier years of this period. I know that ex-LMS stock was quite commonplace, but there also seem to be smatterings of ex-LNER stock lurking around prior to the big influx of Mk1s around '63 and '64. I wonder if anybody could confirm this and, if so, which types were used? I do have a few Gresley/Thompson subs as provided by Hornby, and the opportunity to use a couple behind a 2P or a NBL diesel appeals somewhat! Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated! Many thanks.

Jim49 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 From the handful of photos I have turned up so far, you would be safe with ex LMS Staniers, the Gresley/Thompson suburbans and a few Mk1s. I will keep going through my books but your original thoughts seem to be spot on. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Love that mid-sixties Moray vibe too. Reckon you're on the money so far, I'll have a look in the O'Hara albums, see if there's anything else that jumps out... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfield_Park Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks both. A bit of a work in progress at the moment but something like this that makes use of a lot of my existing items that ran around the area (the subs, Standard 4 tank, Fairburn tank, Black 5 etc), appeals somewhat, especially once one of NB's 'finest' appears from Dapol!
