The album "Deltics" by Chris Rea.

The 'soundtrack of my life' as a working class youth  in an industrial town in the UK Midlands in the 1970s.

Parallel boiler LMS Royal Scot ?

They do look nice, but are they sufficiently different to Series 3 Staniers to justify the tooling cost and could they sell enough?

Hey man, psychadelic!

A very old Kraftwerk track from the 1970s Vertigo sampler album 'Suck it and see'

Porthole coaches as they were my favourite.

If I had to choose just one, it would be 'Lion', but that stands no chance.
Dapol may yet do the LMS suburbans and I know next to nothing about coaching stock outside the transition era.
I can't think of a single wagon I'd want/need as again, I know half of s*d all about them

I thoroughly enjoyed "Europa Endlos" and the film that accompanied it. Thanks @Stingray.

If you mean the little bit that goes into a main socket and receives the coupling whilst also providing side play, they do - but it's not listed under all models that use it - an annoying habit of theirs with parts common to more than one model.
