Haven’t got anywhere for turnouts but I never say no to a wagon.

Ok, sorted.

Thank you my friend.

Very nice Brian, is that a kit wagon?

Yes it is. You should be able to tell by the rubbish finish Howard. The body and chassis is plastic but the top is brass.

I have made a model of the wagon before, it is a coal hopper wagon. They added the lid to carry alumina.

Little and Large.
First Small.
I recently bought two log wagons for my H0e layout.

The wagon next to the loco is boxed "Playcraft" and has real logs while the second is boxed "Jouef" and has plastic logs. !

Now Large ( very)
I have long been fascinated by the Gas Turbine locos used for quite a few years by the Ubion Pacific Railroad and have collected an example of each type except for the experimental Coal burning Turbine ( all others ran on Oil or in one case Gas).
I managed to get this loco which now completes my collection of U.P. Gas Turbines.


There were two steam turbines used on UP but I think they were never owned by UP and the models are very scarce anyway so these will have to be a future addition if found.

For anyone that bought the rechargeable soldering iron, replacement tips are available on Amazon - I had two fine chisel pointed tips arrive today. They get very hot, very fast.

no railway yet maybe next year

A real bargain on Rails Advent calendar. Over half price. The wagon not the pipes.
