Not totally accurate, but I tried my best.

Enjoy!

Nice skin, always good to see something a bit different
Am i right in thinking these are West Coast beasties from the late 80s/early 90s?

Certainly West Coast, yes. I believe they were the early 90s although I'm sure Harold can confirm/deny that.

Basically, you're both right, I didn't actually see these myself, so the only resource I had was a video called "British Rail today" and quite an interesting video it is as it talks about how Britains Railways changed after the privatisation occurred, but yes these were used on the WCML around the 80s and 90s era, very soon after the Railway Privatisation when Stagecoach partly owned services on the WCML.

I thought it was made up!

Nope, they were most certanly real, they didn't last long though. I'm un-aware of the coach numbers for these 2, but I think they went to scrap, but most probably re-painted into Inter-city.
