As I live in Inverness I bought a model of 37025 and thinking of buying some coaches to go with it just as a static model. I noticed Bachmann have a set with the viewing car which I like the idea of but it's in the green livery rather than the blue livery. Which coaches would this locomotive have hauled when it was in the Highlands in the 80's and where would be a good place to get them? They don't need to be anything fancy so cheaper is better.
In a moment of weakness when visiting a light railway I spotted a shiny Intercity liveried 47 for sale, specifically 47834 with the Firefly name on it. I used to always like seeing the Intercity liveried 47 hauling the sleeper from Inverness hence the choice of this one even though I realise, this particular 47 never came to Inverness. I had a look for mk3 Intercity liveried sleeper carriages but there doesn't seem to be any, what would be a suitable alternative something like mk3 standard Intercity carriages?
Thanks for any thoughts.
