Given to me by a friend, any ideas? It is well built, metal chassis but no markings
In the family from the 1960's British Railways, Triang and still a reasonable runner
Thanks in advance, PB

The first one looks like this, although slightly different colourings/markings :

The second one looks remarkably like this one ;

I could be totally wrong though!

You are correct Ian. Has the same number.
I reckon the first is this Triang loco.

I think that you are correct WTD on the first one - the Dalpol kit is slightly different, the Tri-ang one is almost identical except for the added crew.

The Dapol one is a GWR 61XX Prairie tank.

Second one is the Triang L1 4-4-0 (R350) from 1960. I have a few of these.

I like to do an information sheet on all the locos I have. I have been checking out here for more ideas

The GWR 61XX Prairie Tank has an interesting livery, any ideas?
Thanks for all the replies and information. PB
