I was thinking more about the sheer amount of stock required, including WCJS.

WCJS?

West Coast Joint Stock: through trains from the LNWR (which was a major shareholder of the CR, I believe).

A lot of the goods stock would have also come from the LNWR, also the MR and the LYR.

First in my mind is Quintinshill, but will see what else might work.

You'll need a couple of trains of welsh coal wagons and a rake of old GCR coaches in that case!  😁 Plus, of course a train of WCJS sleeping cars and a model of 907 for the local.

Well the coal wagons are definitely possible, the 907 and the sleeping cars might need some digging to find. Might start with a layout plan i have, and once i can get hold of stuff, or build it then maybe move on to Quintinshill.
