This is potentially a decent thread. I hope it doesn’t turn to shit.

Was lucky enough to see it a few years ago at the bluebell railway and then have dinner onboard in a Pullman carriage.

Earliest train memories were of rolling stock similar to these. The varnished wood; cream ceilings; Trojan moquette all bathed in the glow of Tungsten 'bulbs… Lovely. Amd the (once) familiar sound of the Traction Motors…

If I ever get to retire my plan is to spend my time building a decent model railway set-up, buildings, landscape and all.

I cannot stray far from buses. And one was posted up thread… So here is a Pacer. Pure Leyland National bus Bodywork (without altered Roofsticks to increase width)…
I was thinking more the scale of on boards in a loft / garage.
These units share the same basic body structure as the Pacer. I’ve travelled on one.was an odd experience. Load of recognisable Leyland National bus parts. On a full width train. Was an amazing technical achievement. Sadly it didn’t save Leyland Bus.
A friend and former colleague of mine built this in his garden. Steam powered.

I would have been a rubbish Hobo but I feel oddly drawn to the idea.

I saw it and had a ride behind it at Swanage maybe 25 years ago. It was tremendous and for some reason in an all black livery at the time. LMS rather than LNER maybe? Can’t recall.
