This is our rolling stock so far. Most of our trains haul passenger service apart from classes 60, 66, and 86. The class 66 hauls 5 thaul trucks, but i want to increase this to10 and have the only 2 weathered ones stored in the mill so it seams that they have not been cleaned due to being on rent to the mill. I would like some mail trains for my clas 86 to pull which can be changed to a class 67 out soon by Hornby (hornby have bought lima so they are remaking some of there old products). The class 60 at the moment hauls 4 MFA wagons in EWS livery, we want to get another 2 MFA in Mainline Blue and EWS Ex Loadhaul liveries. These will also be joined by 14 MEA in EWS and Mainline blue liveries, we hope to have 20 in this rake.

Our class 90, class 82 DVT class 43 HST units are all in Virgin Livery and pull 7 mk3 coaches. We swap the hauling unit from the HST units, and the clas 90 and the DVT. In the future we would like to try and get our hands on a Lima class 87 but since on ebay they are going for £50+, its doubtful!


Future

We would like to get some more Bachmann mk1 coaches to get hauled around by my dads old Black 5. In the future i hope that we could get the weathered Hornby Black 5 so he won't complain about it stopping all the time! I am more focusing on rolling stock that is seen going through the real Preston Station day after day, we have a bachmann class 57 in virgin livery but i would also like one in freightliner to haul my intermodal wagons. I would hook up a link bar on the new Hornby Pendolino (on the dummy car, more on the Pendolino on Passenger rolling stock) so my class 57 could pull it when it breaks down and when going across un-electrified lines like in real life. I would swap the class 57 with the class 92 when hauling my intermodals since i don't like the crude hornby FFA's and FGA's.

We would like some class 20's to haul a few Nuclear Flask's but i would like them in DRS and my dad wants them in BR! Luckily, i found a livery that we both like. Nobody does them in this livery so we will have to spray them into the correct livery, our first spraying project! The only problem is, that in this livery, they don't haul Nuclear Flask... O well, i guess we can just pretend!

Here's the livery we would like them to be!
