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

It's probably just because it was a Western Region vehicle. It was converted from W1012 at Swindon in 1963. This is long before the the other exhibition coaches were converted, which I think was done shortly before their European holiday.
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 !!?!

... Blinds down as well.
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 ! ☹️

Yes, but generally they are known as turntables! ...
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 ??!? 🙄

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.

I wonder what was unloaded there?
Can't think of anything to do with pork pies or dog food that runs on wheels !

Not just pre-nationalisation but pre-grouping ! .......... you could even argue pre 1899 !

... MK 1 has never been produced with ... internal lighting ...
Don't forget that for most of their lives Mk1 coaches ran with only a few glow worms for lighting and they were only switched on after dark or for tunnels - so lighting would not normally have been detectable from outside well into the blue/grey era after fluorescent tubes were fitted and left on all day.

I was thinking 'Airfix' when I saw those bridges, too !

There are also additional stiffening plates at the base of the uprights ............. anyway, what suitably reinforced point of contact would take the buffing forces if the Dellner couldn't ?

Not quite the same as http://www.lanarkshiremodels.com/lanarkshiremodelsandsupplieswebsite_218.htm but probably of S.R. origin.

Parcels vans were not Common User in the way that most wagons were, so the appearance of 'foreign' vehicles would not have been universal .......... there were, though specific traffic flows such as milk, newspapers and mail-order goods which would have seen regular 'cross-border' traffic to some destinations - also seasonal flows such as soft fruit.

More model ideas

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.
