I found a facebook group that maybe of interest to any followers of this chat

The unofficial Chiltern Silverset Group

After ordering 2 sets of the class 170 upgraded lights a few months ago, I placed another order with a few extra bits (over £100) as the initial was easier than expected

4 weeks in Order placed, money taken and NO return communication despite an email over a week ago now

*UPDATE

goods arrived after a second email, shame about the need to after nearly 8 weeks and no explanation, I can now only assume items are made to order? as well as having a busy period? one of those I will order again as products and instructions are easy to follow

I have been contemplating a similar thought, more 80s/90s onwards along the London Extension

NSE days, I imaged the 117s being replaced by the 165s/166s to Aylesbury or even to Verney Junction.

Diesel Hauled to Rugby and beyond I assumed would be a mix of the 31s, 47s, or 50s, depending on where termination was Manchester, Sheffield

A more Modern Approach would be the Chiltern 165s and 67s & 68s, based on a what if they reopened the line as they intended to many years ago
