    You will have to wait until the Channel 4 carriage restoration programme is broadcast to find out I am afraid.

    I have been around along enough to remember when Mark 1s were new and characterless. Now they are old and characterless, which includes the wood panelled ones IMHO. When I was a child, the best carriage interiors in the area I live were in Maunsell era electric stock and the worst in Bulleid e.m.u.s. Ugh!

    Well, I thought only the tin case varied and that but slightly.Plenty of pannier tants, 0-4-2ts and 2-6-2ts that would be fine.

    Anything larger would be much too "big chuffer".

    This thread has taken an interesting and good turn. Having seen quite a variety of suggested "new build" locomotive. At last some suggestions of suitably appropriate coaching stock [not forgetting a selection of goods stock too], especially when such stock is painted in the appropriate pre-nationalised/grouping colours.

    I once remember some dreadful woman boarding a train in the 80s made up of Mark 1s and she wrinkled her brow and spat out "trees died for THIS?". This was prior to her snarling about the "pollution" from an HST starting up in the platform adjacent. :Banghead:

    Anyway, leaving bum wiping newspapers behind, and back to new build coaches, my choice would be a long string of period 3 LMS Stanier coaches, some in LMS maroon, and some in crimson/cream

    Getting back to what "heritage" railways don't need alas. Just as with the motive power.

    Are there that many period 3s? The SVR has some, and there are odd ones here and there on other railways, I saw one at the Churnet Valley once.

    You don’t like Mark 1s, now you don’t like early LMS coaches either?

    A rake of 9 on the SVR is pretty good going! I think there's a couple of runners up in Scotland and scattered around some of the ex-midland region lines. Not many compared to Mk1s, but not that bad.

    Apologies for misreading this for "Mk.1s" or "Mk2s" It still sounds a bit too "mainline" though.

    The subject is heritage railways not quasi mainlines. Newbuilds would be an opportunity to correct the present imbalance, not aggravate it.
