    There were quite a few other units in the sidings, but I've only listed
    the ones I could get the numbers of!

    I was impressed with the nice selection of track machines. Shame there
    were no wagons, though.

    If anyone could supply the numbers of the coaches from the rest of the Hastings unit, it'd be appreciated :-)

    Cheers,
