They seem to handle inclines very well. :D

;D I have to say that since the update I cannot get on with uploading photos. It all seems a bit random!  ???

They are very cute though. I've got a project at the back of my mind that involves bashing one in to something else.

It's not often one gets to purchase a locomotive named after a gentleman whose pickled brain one has previously encountered (in the Science Museum in London if anyone is taking notes, the pickled brain that is):

Moreover I might be related to the bloke in question, probably via his father or grandfather, though evidence is circumstantial - my great grandmother was a Babbage and records via her father (a street sweeper!) go back to a street in London which is also associated with the more famous Babbage line.

Saw this on ebay and it was located in the U.S. , so I threw a bid on it for the hell of it and ended up winning it. Was about £80 after shipping.


I really, really need to start buying cars/wagons for the locos I have.

Awesome, you can't beat a Jubilee, I know I've got eight! Funny how location affects price. If that was in the UK it would have been around the £100 Mark.

My first GraFar loco is a 4MT I picked up for about $50 from someone on the other side of the Ohio River from Louisville in Indiana. They didn't know much about the value of N scale stuff. Sadly it's now the engine I need to fix a step on.

@emjaybee Sorry, Mike, but it's a Royal Scot

Didn't know it came to the U.S...that's pretty interesting. Wonder if it passed through Kentucky at any point.


*EDIT* Upon further research, it came to Louisville via the LH&STL, the "Texas" (check my railfanning thread) on October 13th, 1933...though sadly it struck and killed someone at Reed, about 15 miles west of Owensboro.

Got me glasses on now...

...yup, smoke deflectors.

Oh yes, and the number...

:smackedface:

Same thing applies, if it's lined crimson it costs more than BR  green. That's why I got four Jubilees repainted by yer man Ozymandia's!

:D

Lovely looking loco.
