Show your Latest GB Loco and Rolling Stock Purchase.

[Les1952]

Meanwhile NQP2 is running quite satisfactorily with part of its valve gear missing,

Can you not fit valve gear from the A4 to this - all the same components?

Cheers,
Alan

Both same side of loco, or I might attempt it...

Today I attended the Sheffield model rail show and came back with these goodies:





Farish (UK) rebuilt Battle of Britain 34089 602 Squadron (used) and their new version Mk1 CK in green with 1st class yellow branding.

34089 lasted until the end of Southern Region steam in July 1967.

These are not bad models of the rebuilt pacific although they do need a bit of detailing to liven them up.An Nbrass front bogie,vac pipes,coupling hook & screw coupling take the plainess off the front buffer beam,perhaps SR lamps or route discs.I`m still toying with making an injector assy.for under the cab out of copper wire soldered together &,oh yes,some front loco steps made from brass signal ladder if your curves will allow them.

When I saw this Peco Collett 0-6-0 in my local shop for £75 it seemed too good to miss.

TBH if it runs well I think you did well there, John
Mine is noisy going forwards but quieter in reverse and it cost me £112 when they first came out.

Thanks.

From memory I paid £130 for my second hand BR Black example, although that was practically as new.  For quite a long time I think it was the single most expensive N gauge loco I owned.

A fresh addition to my BR Blue parcels fleet, a Dapol SR CCT.

Just arrived back home in Tenerife & unpacked my only only model railway purchase - a green liveried Union Milss B12, with behind it my existing black one for which I was awaiting a new "keep" plate for the tender which Colin also sent me. Only tested the new purchase on a short piece of track so far, not re-visited my layout as of yet.

They are very handsome machines, OMG should an LMS fan be saying that?.....Nurse Nurse

Went to Arcadia in Shaw to have a nose about and found a late crest Dapol Terrier, enough Bulleids to make a BSO, SO, CK, BSO set, a few grey open wagons and some easi shunts. A few minutes of running in and the Terrier wasn't right and it eventually stuttered to a halt. I took it back and part ex'd it against this:

Runs like a dream, in fact one of the best steamers I have and looks even more right pulling 4 Bulleid carriages than the Merchant Navy I have.

Currently somewhere in the postal system is a genuine bargain from E bay 

A three pack of Farish Blue Circle Cement Presflows for under £30

Ill take a pic on arrival to celebrate!

[railsquid]

Hmm, a slightly overscale pseudo-LNER coach (at least that's what it looks like to me) in a fantasy livery...

Yup, finally passenger stock for the Eitetsumura - Sodor all-stations stopping service. A bargain at less than 3 quid, albeit without original box.

[Skyline2uk]

That is a bargain squiddy.....

Looks like James coach to me....

No, Henry. I only have James though... Hope the rivet counters don't get me... I don't think the shop knew what they had there and probably thought it was some cheap'n'grotty overseas coach 

[Skyline2uk]

Well the thought occurred, "Thomas" theme stuff is not normally cheap.

It's a coach anyway, so mini people on the squid rail don't need to be cold anymore

Well I just got a bargain farish Jubilee for £45 quid working.....huzzah 


All I need to do now it repaint it into a decent LMS livery (ideas please) and hope the Domestic Overlord does not read this post
