Hi Tom I finally found a photo of the wooden oval boxes you described in your post. They appear to be numbered SR1 and as such form part of the Silk Road range rather than the India at Last range that you mentioned. Photo attached. I’m still trying to find a photo of the Dragon Bridge which...

Thank you! I’ve also got a 1.8m long moving diorama too - you can view that on YouTube

Thanks for sharing that photo. The Rewah Carriage is one of my favorites!

Hi All, I recently came across a Marlborough Queen Victoria carriage with an add-on set of additional horses. I’ve only seen the carriage before with four horses. How common is the add-on set? If anyone has the carriage with 4 or 8 horses, please share photos! Best wishes.

Hi, please do share the photos when you get a chance. Thanks

Thank you, which one is the later one? Is there a different set number or description for the two different versions?

Thank you for sharing that information. I look forward to seeing the photos.
