An impulse buy, but very happy with this one

Found an old Grafar BR Blue Rat courtesy of Dale Pickles - runs like a dream.

I have 25300 Rob. Agreed she is a fine loco

The latest addition to my fleet a Class 66 the Biffa Flying binman, another eBay bargain.

On a pointer from Mike @woodbury22uk I sourced 4 x Grampus (Grampi??) from Hattons. Dapol have announced a new run but, naturally, the price has risen. With removable loads they are quite versatile.

Not exactly at the cutting edge of N gauge kettle design any more, but it was very reasonably priced and in decent condition (number transfers etc. still in the box):


Peco "Jubilee" class (black) by Rail Squid, on Flickr

Going by the sticker on the outside of the box, this was imported by a retailer, who - going by adverts in old magazines - was for a long time the official Peco importer in Japan.

Does anyone happen to know when this livery would have been current, and whether it is appropriate for passenger trains?

[crewearpley40]

The stanier coaches would certainly suit the Jubilee. Probably just after Ww2.

Another HST rake now complete. Just need to replace the couplings with Hunt magnetic and it will be free to be let loose on the layout.  Just 2 blue/grey sets to complete to add to the already completed 8 sets.

Well it's not often I post in here but a spur of the moment purchase saw me squander a couple of quid on 10 EFE Rail Mermaid wagons in BR Black.

These really are cracking wagons, the couplings will be swapped straight away as you could park the obligatory bus inbetween each set of buffers but replacement short couplings are included







Now to hunt out some nice colour pictures and get these weathered up considerably

@exmouthcraig I look forward to seeing how far you go with yours as I have about 8 Mermaids, 4 Grampus and a couple of Sharks I want dirtying. Can't have clean ballast wagons, can we?

Well you can never have too many N class Moguls and I was fortunate enough to win it away from someone with 2 seconds to auction end on Sunday!

This will be renumbered, heavily weathered as they never stood still to be cleaned and join her 11 stable mates ready to slog up and down the layout
