Cool - I model BR late 70s - early 80s - basically blue grey and change over from vacuum to air brakes. But I do have some 1985 stuff like the choc/cream DMU and a few steam locos.

Always fancied building a layout in a coffee table like I saw when I was a kid on TV.

Too small too little British stuff - best off for small going N Gauge - plenty from Bachmann/Graham Farish, track from Peco, and some stuff from Dapol.

There are some good N gauge models now
