Top marks to you, Sir! I've only had the pleasure of travelling on your railway once (back in 2018), but I quickly understood the grandeur of the coaches and instantly loved what I saw! Those 4 and 6 wheel coaches will be a true credit to British Railway Preservation, and an absolute delight to us modellers when produced in OO and other scales!
My maternal grandfather, and his father before him, actually worked on the Isle of Wight railway. When I was a child in the 1950s, the Ryde St John's goods yard was full of little black engines puffing back and forth. It was magical. If I won the European lottery, I should have the whole network restored as a tourist and transport feature.
