Soon you'll have two A3s  :D

As for me, well I seem to keep giving in to stuff in the wrong scale.

I already have 2 'real' A3's so my glass of wine will probably make it 4 A3's by your reckoning!!

Size matters - especially if you don't have a lot of space - and N gauge is the answer!

Just received A3 Bayardo from Dapol - February special at £70 a real bargain.
Worked straight out of box and runs well. Have oiled motion and ready to watch it run in for a couple of hours on my test track with a glass of wine!!
Do you balance the glass of wine on the tender?

No railsquid I don't balance the glass of wine on the 'tender behind' the A3! I grasp the glass in one hand and hold on to something stable with the other! A horse I think!

Not a racehorse I hope! You'll burn the motor out doing that :smiley-laughing:

No chance - after the second glass things move very slowly.   :claphappy:

Bit off topic  :sorrysign: but could you run Mausell coaches behind the A3 ???

Probably not in 'real life' but my layout is gonna be a Rule 1 preserved railway - so if I had any Maunsells they'd be fair game to run behind an A3 and any other loco!!

Running in done for 2 hours while listening to Radio 4 with a glass of wine - what more could a man want (please don't answer that!)
Perfect performance -much quieter now. Really pleased, just like the special offer A3 I bought from Dapol last month.
I must say it is really encouraging to get locos that work out of the box for a change - 4 in a row now - one Farish and 3 Dapol. Maybe Farish and Dapol do read whats on this forum. Anyway - whatever - couldn't be more happy right now.
Have a good night everyone.

Another wagon for my collection, bringing a load of Cornish granite to the Midlands.

John, are you sure that wagon is carrying granite and not cheese?  :drool:

In April 2024 I will be raising money for Cancer Research UK by doing at least 100 press-ups every day.  Feel free to click on the picture to go to the donations page if you would like to help me to reach my target.



To follow the construction of my layout "Longcroft" from day 1, you'll have to catch the fish below first by clicking on it which isn't difficult right now as it's frozen!

and RTR Rocket in N gauge would be an immediate impulse buy for a lot of modellers I think :)

Agreed.  For a brief moment I thought this was N gauge and wondered how I could get one.  I'd love a Rocket in N.

Absolutely certain it isn't cheese, I'm afraid.  It would certainly break your teeth if you tried to eat it!

In the model world you can run anything behind an A3 but in the real world I would say  :no:

There were Maunsell sets created for inter-company services (Bournemouth-Newcastle/Leeds/Bradford being one), but I doubt that when they got to the LNER they were powered by anything as exalted as an 'A' class loco...

Someone on the forum's actually done one with the sensible option of putting the motor in the first coach.
