Show your Latest GB Loco and Rolling Stock Purchase.

Latest Arrival, a Dapol Schools Class namely the Dapol Club special edition. When it arrived, one of its tender connections had snapped so off went a e-mail to Dapol. Only after sending said e-mail, did I discover the spares included with the model. DOH 

Fortunately, a quick job with the screw driver later along with a very quick sorry to Dapol and I now have a beautiful looking loco which is getting steadily better running Schools class. Very happy 

Cheers,

Jon

I acquired one of those when it first came out and very nice it is too. A grand complement to my Repton.
Enjoy....

Not exactly brought, but for Christmas...........

A lovely little Dapol Terrier which works beautifully and a Farish PLV. Not a bad little haul.

Cheers,

Jon

I got a couple of good bargains earlier this month at the Hatton's pre-owned site:
1.) Warship Class "Magpie."  Had been split from a set and (as advertised) the DCC chip was replaced with a blanking plug but since I run analog that was fine.   In perfect shape and runs great.  £76.

2.) N Class with late crest.  Absolutely like new.  The coal load had been re-installed backwards by the previous owner so I popped it out and put it right way around - no big deal.  It's a lovely runner.  £85.

The Hattons pre-owned stuff is mostly a mixed bag, but every now and then you really can find a good deal.

I bought  a new weathered maroon Western a few days ago. She is currently going through a bit of a change.


She will look Champion when she is finished !

Finally finished repaint. Not the greatest work but this is my first attempt at anything like this in N gauge. It's nice to have something which is quite rare.




I now have a small collection of Westerns from the 1960s

[Chris Morris]

I like that Chris, what colour is it youve used? I re did western champion to Golden Ochre a while back

Yes that is golden ochre from Precision paints or Stroudley's improved engine green if you prefer.

A very nice job, I think I saw it at Bath Spa in that colour in 1964. Either that or my parents had slipped me some pills to help me in our move from Steam ruled Weymouth to the land of the Hydraulics (Chippenham).

Amazing what you find in a basement 2nd hand shop in the middle of Tokyo

Got a decent discount on the already low price due to the split gear(s)...

Ok chaps here it is in the flesh - my very first ever N gauge model. Arrived a day or two ago.

One very beautiful Class 411 4 CEP EMU.  I got just a basic oval of track to watch her go round and round. I can confirm it doesn't much like Peco first radius curves. My first layout is at the planning stage, but I'm off to a model railway exhibition this Sunday in Canterbury, hopefully to pick up some tips.



Alec.

 

[port perran]

Not my era by any means but it does look good.
Have fun watching it go round........obvious I know but can you upgrade those 1st radius curves or is space an issue ?

Exactly the same thing happened with my replacement Flying Scotsman. The car dan shaft was detached along with the loco to tender pickup link broken. I never knew that they sent out a diy fix it kit in the bag of bits, just wish they engineered the thing to be strong enough to travel. I thought I was buying RTR.
