mixing Bachmann and Hornby coaches

They are probably close enough in colour. You may find the Hornby ones ride a bit high on their bogies , but overall not a problem. Just in case you don't know, though, (and apologies if you do)I'm not sure the RMB is strictly accurate in Crimson/cream. You will see them like that on preserved railways , but I think they were delivered in Maroon on BR.

Others with greater knowledge of this will be able to comment.

I think you're correct. The Bachmann boxes have the text "(Preserved)" for the Crimson/Cream RMBs.

Correct
