This would be quite a challenge- a 3mm model of BR Mk1 3083, one of the experimental coaches, with lots of small side windows. Resident on the Severn Valley Railway, it has variously carried red & cream, chocolate & cream, 'fake' varnished LNER teak, and nowadays BR Maroon. Despite a quite recent repaint is doesnt seem to get used very often, along with 1883 the 'Bar' coach.
Seen here at last years diesel gala, being hauled by 'Slug 6' (37906) uncharacteristically not blotting out Kidderminster with clouds of black smoke (not that there's anything wrong with that....)
A couple of unlikely pairings hauling trains could also be seen: 14 and 42
