    So an engine in the mid 1960s cost around 3500 quid (I understand that's what 34023 and 92203 cost in 1967) and a withdrawn coach around 300... so you could by say 10 to 12 coaches instead... well if that was the case then first a 2 car LSWR gate set, a six coach skirted Bournemouth Bulleid set, a Bulleid Tavern car and 2 or three LSWR Ironclad coaches if I had any cash left over:)

    ...or if I must buy an engine then a LSWR 700 class:

    The Beyer-Peacock built M&SWJR 2-6-0 as rebuilt by Swindon - it would have made a most useful preservation era loco I think.

    A side window cab K2 would look nice on the Jacobite but the LNWR is under represented in preservation so a Webb Cauliflower, a simple machine ideal for a heritage line.

    All good choices. If we're allowed more than one, next on my list would be 3406 Calcutta, the last surviving Bulldog.

    If I had a time machine, could I not go back to the 1920s or 1930s at least? When they had proper locos in proper liveries (i.e. red!).

    Not particularly important or valuable compared to some of the others, but would have to be 30931 for me, on the same logic.
