Model Railway Forum

You would think they were next of kin buying me such an item, but no. They are only a relative through marriage, yet every year I receive a railway item (or two) from them. 'The Rocket' is by far the best (and I believe most expensive,) I have received from them.

Looks good. Does it go well? Is it a Triang version or a later Hornby version?

It's a later one and is a dream to run.

Nice BB,,,,,,,,,,, Coaches have got expensive lately don't you think.

My latest arrival is a fleet of 5 0-4-0's and a 0-6-0 from Ebay

I'm happy with the price as they were 'for repair or spares' and in every case the motor runs.






One needed a screw tightening. One will go back on sale on Ebay as it is an old Lima with the 'wrong' type of coupling and I don't wish to change it. I should get more than 1/6 of the price I paid plus postage so will be happy.

For anyone interested it is the 'Southern' one, bottom right 4572. It is missing it's boiler front door.

Somebody must take great delight taking boiler doors off. I got this one also off Ebay. After a length of time I finally 'butchered' an old loco body and fitted a 'new' boiler door. Just a repaint job to Leeds, Scarcroft & Wetherby Rlwy colours. Glencairn

Well done. Needs turning a few degrees anticlockwise.

Hi John - I suppose they have - I don't actually buy many - although I would like a set (3) of crimson Bachman Birdcage coaches. Barry
