Very nice Graham, I fancy a Gresley myself, although it dates it more into the 70's than 80's. I'll have to dig out my old RCTS coaching stock books, but from personal observation I can't remember seeing any in revenue earning service post 1977, although I'd love to be proved wrong.
I wouldn't worry too much about lettering for the CCT. Most such ex SR wooden stock was in an indescribably filthy state most of the time; so much so, it was often difficult to tell what the body colour was lurking under the rail dirt brown covering.
A few things on the go..............
