I think I should have taken another route through the station - not had to contend with 5 bogie coaches before!View attachment 239553
I mentioned the imminent arrival of new coaches the other day in a post, and they arrived on Thursday, very promptly following my surprise eBay win.
No-one else bid for them which really surprised me but I'm delighted by them. The sheep look interested too.

They are an LGB make believe, the prototypes are an Austrian Coach which has been put in many differing liveries. Done at a time when LGB had not got round to making the right stock for the likes if the Crockodile, but they are a nice believable looking livery. I have a set of 2 similar that I used in my early DR days as little else was available at the time. Got taken over on my line by the correct type of DR coaches, but still get a run now and again.Do you know if the RhB had coaches something like that? I think the red/cream colour scheme came in around the 70s or so. I have 3 matching Austrian green ones which I though may work behind some of my RhB stuff.
