Well, that was fast. Hardly got a profile set up on Pebble and they’ve announced a November 1 shut down

Today learned a small amount about British trains. I had purchased a small set, movie specific, but it does not include as many coaches as depicted on screen. Canon doesn’t offer detail, so tradition will have to do.
