I was having a trawl through the Liverpool site, and found these

now they only came into service in 1987, and I'm aiming my layout at 1986 :hmmm:
a 150 would of course be more correct, but they are £144.46, pre-order

I could get nearly two sets of the 156s for that, and they could run the Rule 1 service from GLQ to Inverknockie [loosely based on Inverness] vie the 'it was actually built' line from Ft. William.
and it's a great colour scheme............
what should I do :hmmm: >:D
Either aim your layout at 1987, or tell anyone who cares that they are carrying out pre-golive testing.

One of the nicest Post-Privatisation liveries. Unfortunately for you the Carmine & Cream SPT livery wasn't introduced until 1996/7 (replacing the previous Orange and Black livery) so it's a decade outside your period... :'( :(

What have I ever done to you? I promised myself "no more rolling stock of any kind 'till there is some track laid." Then you go and post a link to one of the best looking setups ever to hit the rails. Gee, thanks! There goes my resolve. OK, my resolve is as tough as a Victoria sponge, but..... Oh, never mind! I'm fighting it, but thanks, I suppose...
;) ;) ;) :thankyousign:
Or run your layout as a preserved line and then anything goes !
I managed to acquire a very nice scenic layout of Calne for a very modest fee - and there is all sorts of stuff running on that now.
Even the real preserved lines have a "Rule One".
