My latest addition was from Model Railways Direct's Summer sale. A sound-fitted Fowler 4F for £165 - 35% off RRP, at that price it was a "no brainer" a Zimo sound-chip alone retails at over £120!

I have just bought the last remaining DCC ready 4f from MRD. I have fancied one for a while now, and the sale price was just too tempting to ignore.

Some chassis direct from Peco and some 3d printed bodies from Budget Model Railways to go on them.

New to me is William Cookworthy purchased from the N'porium

Oddly, Snap!

That's rare. 2 members with the same loco for sale or 1 member with 2 identical ones to sell

Uncanny

Roy L S you are a bad influence.  As you say "no brainier", Ordered one last Monday, arrived Wednesday. Great service, fantastic loco.

Unsure why but I cannot for the life of me add an image to this post. Randomness from the new forum, perchance? You'll just have to imagine Bill Cookworthy on a short Speedlink.

Finally! Checked the thread for the new forum issues and I now feel like a proper wally. Trainfish, here's mine.

Anticipating a Transrail 60 in the post this week, to pull my Silver Bullets. (I am selling 37672 because I now have Bill, which was always my intention - local hero and all that). Phots to follow if it ever arrives....

My latest kit building exercise. An LNER/BR Extra Long CCT in BR Crimson build from a 579 / Chivers Finelines kit.

And these little beauties. £50 for all three on a certain auction site. Much better than the £32 each for brand new ones and they are in excellent condition.

I reckon @emjaybee has just done one of those but in LMS lined livery and he did a stonking job on the lining

Ah, yeah, no, not quiiiiiite accurate Mick.

I do have that kit, part assembled, I'm hoping to try to do it in 'teak'. Haven't got to that yet.

The CCT I've lined is an LMS Etched Pixels kit. I'll get some info up on it in due course.

@twinklekev may I ask where you got the transfers for this kit?

Thanks, Stuart
