Ivatt 2MT on the Callington Branch

 








I've just bought a second-hand Bachmann OO gauge Ivatt 2-6-2T in British Railways livery, having been inspired by pictures of the Callington Branch in the early 1960's. The standard class 2MT's were introduced in the line in 1952 and ran through to its closure in 1966, so they are an ideal source of motive power if I ever decide to model one of the stations or halts, Gunnislake or Luckett being the ideal locations. I'm now looking for some suitable coaches to go with it.
