The livery on 'Caledonia' is its original, Manx Northern Railway, paint scheme. She has just returned to service in this livery, and is probably in better condition than when first built!

That's a lovely layout. Working in Sunbury, maybe I could stop by for an hour after work one time?

Can`t help unfortunately. They were brought by visitors. Jimmytrains may be able to help, if not I can make enquiries.

These coaches are from "clochmele" a french railway which was hand built for an ICI executive.
The donor coaches are two Austrian off centre coaches and new undercarriage and early bogie coach bogies.
The interiors are for 5 bay seating.

I 'll get more info if required

The diesel rail tram is fully scratch built by a very talented modeller and i'll get some info and post later

On a point about the french coaches, there was a very few items from the french railway that were on the secondhand stall at G- rail. Somebody bought the three blue powder "toy train" coaches and for some reason ignored the Tram. It was fully painted in the french style and was a real shelf queen. I would like to know the
further history of these coaches.
