New Arrivals

Claude Dreyfus · March 01, 2011, 08:43:50 PM

This is based on a very similar thread on one of the other forums I am a member of; which has proved to be very popular... Quite simply, what have you recently ordered, had delivered to you or purchased model railway wise? It can be anything; locos, stock, buildings, road vehicles etc. new or second-hand...

To kick things off, my latest addition is a Kato model of the JR Eastern preserved D51 steam locomotive - D51 498. The prototype is used frequently on various specials throughout the JRE network...usually in the company of a specially reliveried EF64-1000 electric loco. This model is, in a word, stunning!

This not too brilliant picture sums it up as best it can...

That looks like a huge loco! Lovely though. I'll add some when I get home.... Great idea for a thread.

Wow....the detail is as you say..simply stunning

The latest arrivals for my layout were four scart sockets and a dozen DPDT switches.
Not quite as nice to look at as your new loco but they made ME happy !

Indeed!

The purpose of this thread is anything model railway related...including sockets and switches

I had 7 new (well used) Royal Mail Mk1's delivered a few days ago. A bargain. I thought I had a picture on here, but it must be on the memory card still.

Picked up the model zone limited edition 24 on saturday from MR Scotland. Which was a good show and far better than last years.

That sounds very interesting...am I right in assuming they are conversions?Look forward to seeing some pictures.

Must be the season for it.

I had a batch of SPST mini toggle switches arrive today so that I can isolate certain areas of track when I need to stop an engine moving

Yes and No

They are based on detailed farish Mk2 and MK3's coaches with electra vinyls

Chris · March 03, 2011, 10:43:46 AM

I should be getting my revised Arriva vinyls in the next day or so to re-do the coaches I had off Matt. I also have some more cement wagons on their way to boost my cement rake.

The D51s are a great loco, I had two of them on one of my Japanese Layouts, also had several MicroAce and Tomix models including both 9800 series 0-6-6-0 articulateds, good luck with the new model.

jonclox · March 05, 2011, 11:22:51 AM

Arrived today from DM Toys is a plough (Marks-9706) and a harrow (Marks-9707).
Both booootifull little models but they cost quite a bit
