I'll go for BR Early era.

But I'm a bit parcial to BR Rail Blue and the Sectorisation Period as well.

Mad about the LNER, BR Eastern region in the 50's, Rail Blue Diesels and Sectorisation era.

I am a huge fan of BR standards, favorties being the rareer one (Clans 71000 and crosley 9fs) but I have to say that the mid range 73/75/76 standard are nice too. I also like the IC era when the electrics and class 47s were hauling MK2 rakes with DBSOs across scxotland, this is what my second model depicts

I've always had a hankering for the BR Rail Blue era, possibly in 7mm scale.
So - did anyone dare tell Stephenson, "It's not Rocket science"?

I'd have to go for the BR era up to 68, still plenty of steam about and LNER especially, personally I think some of them looked nice in BR livery, the Q6 especially, and the N10. Early BR Blue quite interesting, a lot of different diesels/ electrics etc
