As @crewearpley40 says there appear to be quite a few carflats on the NGS site, click here

Not blue but I know someone who has 4 of these below which he could be persuaded to sell:

Yes me. Not sure if they all have cars but I'm sure I could fill them with something. European maybe but they do say British Leyland on them.

John, . Think its this

crewearpley40 · May 16, 2020, 01:48:26 PM

The cars are tacky. To be honest john. Will make a good offer but if want realistic I would wait http://www.revolutiontrains.com/category/ipa/ this is exciting

steve836 · May 16, 2020, 02:09:07 PM

Hi John. The lima artics are just the job. A coat of blue paint and some oval decals and Robert's your mothers brother. PM me how much you want please.

crewearpley40 · May 16, 2020, 02:14:10 PM

The cars on john ' s look more realistic than the tacky lima ones by the way

steve836 · May 16, 2020, 02:29:43 PM

The Lima cartics are the type I remember on the Dagenham to Longbridge run. The Revolution trains cartics are way too modern. They may sometimes have added a carflat or two. The cars don't matter as I would replace them with Anglias or Zodiacs. Not sure if the Ford trains took the route over the Rooftop line but is not beyond the bounds of possibility and I could always claim they were rerouted because of engineering work or some such.

Sorry, didn't mean Longbridge I really meant the Ford plant near Liverpool. The rooftop line I am modelling is the route between Derby and Manchester up and over the peak district.
