You also had a Gunpowder Van attached. Rule no. 1: never couple a Gunpowder Van directly behind a steamy. Sparks from the engine's funnel can set the van alight, and cause a loud explosion.
Rule no. 2: always keep Gunpowder Vans in the middle of a goods train consist. Never attach them to a rake of coaches, as that puts the passengers at a high risk of getting killed. Safety comes first.
Nice coaches, they suit Hardwicke to a t. The interior lights were flashing, I noticed. Perhaps they need a bit of attention.

It's a deliberate plot to break the rules re Gunpowder 😄. The Hattons pre grouping coaches only have tiny stay alive which causes them to flicker on my v average track.

Hattons LNWR coaches next to TPE Mk5s? That's a very interesting scene. :)

No rules, my trains!

I did something similar, but my Hardwicke isn’t DCC fitted, and I have the Hornby coaches instead of Hattons. I think the Hornby ones look just as nice, and in the future I might buy a 4 wheeled luggage coach to join the set.

I probably have the Hornby ones hidden away, they are also great coaches and we're very good prices when first launched. The lights don't flicker on the Hornby version as battery operated
