As well as the LNER, the London Midland & Scottish Railway deserves a page of its own simply because of Stanier's magnificent Pacific locomotives and the Coronation Scot. The coaching stock was rather rushed, I think, in order to compete with Gresley's Silver Jubilee. Although the interiors were rather well done in order to befit a high speed express service (though not a patch on the Silver Jubilee) the exterior appearance showed the stock to be what they were - repainted  standard LMS coaching stock (with air conditioning), although the blue and silver finish was certainly striking and would look great on any modellers layout.
