Interesting! They look like neat cars. But I've never seen anything like that in the SSR gift shop... I don't think I've ever seen any MRR products there but then I'm often distracted with my kids and can't look around properly! (However, the gift shop at the Halton County Radial Railway often sells MRR stuff ... mainly Model Power though :-( )
Actually, the couple who used to run the gift shop -- called the Freight Shed, IIRC -- moved their store to Tottenham's main street. This happened a year or so ago. They now operate a trains-related gift shop (toys, souveniers, lots of Thomas stuff, some books) from inside another bookstore called Trains of Thought.
At first, the old SSR gift shop was almost empty but when I visited the railway about a month ago, it was slowly returning into a gift shop again. Not a whole lot of stock, but a few gift-like items, soft drinks, etc. Just curious as to which shop you went to as I'm often on the lookout for older stuff.
Cheers,
Rob
