David, this is a fantastic pairing but I did not realize how well until I took out MM0112 and the Lima NIR coach pack and coupled them up tonight. The difference in the color is remarkable and I just fell out of love with the train as each in their own right are beautiful but the color difference is pretty profound. The Limas really are a very turquoise color by comparison with the MM blue 111 class loco, so, unless there is a '40 shades of blue' discussion about to evolve on this thread, these really are the biz=D
