Wickham Green too

A slight exaggeration there - even in preservation there are lots of areas that have never seen one ................ yes, a nice 'general purpose' locomotive in its place.

Well, the Westinghouse pump and European style buffers & couplings were probably common to them too !

a.k.a "Trandem" : https://www.cyclist.co.uk/news/iconic-trandem-from-the-goodies-up-for-auction .... but then, as were talking about quins rather than trios : - Coventry Motor Museum : 9/9/19

Actually not quite as simple as that : re-reading Platform 5's 'Departmental Coaching Stock, I see that "The DB97xxxx series was first used at the end of 1966 ..." ...... so everything must have gained a regional 'D' prefix before then - but I guess there were few BR standard vehicles departmentalised that early ! ( Though from an early Lot of Mk1s, W1012 was only about a dozen years old when converted.)

Would be interesting to know why DW150353 ( http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=1108 ) was given a DW rather than DB number !!?!

Am I imagining things, or have I bought foam lined boxes from a stand that appears frequently a model railway shows .............. nope, can't think what they're called so must be my imagination ........ DOH ! 😎

... so long as these features remain optional.

Yes - even if the lights stayed on, the blinds would often be pulled down so barely a glimmer would be seen from outside.

... though Rapido might take umbrage if they were seen to contain - let's say - 'inferior' products ! ☹️

Little doubt that's what the Listowel one was - though with its curved 'deck' it doubled as a multi-route turnout. ( Would be great on a shunting puzzle layout ! )

Does that mean the Rapido model will include parts from, perhaps, Accurascale and Ellis Clark assembled at random ??!? 🙄

... which would tie in with the hose above the buffer beam.

Not quite sure how they've disguised the backscene where the tracks go through - but plonking all those cars together seems to disguise the join in the road.

Can't think of anything to do with pork pies or dog food that runs on wheels !
