Thanks Mick. I looked at the Wizard Models site but although they sell the Comet kits the catalogue with all the gen is not there 

Instructions for the individual kits do still list sample formations and dates though.

I Googled Wizard Models Comet and it took me straight there. This is the first LMS coach I came to and the pdf shows a typical formation:

Been waiting for push-pull sets for years!. Just a pity the new tooled Ivatt tank has no push-pull option! (Will the old dapol Ivatt body fit the new tooled version?).

The "British Railways" version is supposed to have the push-pull apparatus fitted. Just that the livery samples all used the standard body.

Hi @Adam1701D , @Stevie DC
A possible anomaly in the chosen running numbers: if my references (incl the David Jenkinson book) are correct, 2P-010-307 BR Lined Maroon Brake Third - M20577M was a Period 2 Diag 1735... All the other BT number choices are P3 Diag 1907s.

Happy to be corrected if you have information otherwise...

Thanks PLD, I'll dig out my reference books tomorrow morning (just moved and everything is still boxed up) and double check this for you.

He's right folks. That's embarrassing... 

20577 should be 20757, we'll get that corrected.
