I am proud owner of 11 BR maroon Minitrix Gresley coaches, there were only ever 1,000 made of each type in the livery and for a time they fetched crazy money. They are beautiful coaches and were way ahead of their time when released back in the late 80s. I could never part with them regardless of value (or not) I value them for what they are.

I have a rake of minitrix teak coaches but just one of the maroon Gresley brake comps. They add variety to the Dapol Gresley brake comp as the minitrix ones have a longer baggage section.

I have some of the Lima ones which are a bit more common. Never even seen one of the Farish ones in blue.

One of these? I think they only did just the one coach!

I have only ever found this one umber and cream Pullman from Lima:
