Show your Latest GB Loco and Rolling Stock Purchase.

[talisman56]

Some recent acquisitions:

Firstly from the Nailsea show, Ray Heard had these on his stall...


A replacement for my ailing Farish Poole Brush 4


A couple of Conflats with 'A' containers


A couple of PO vehicles for the Grouping era - I didn't notice until later that these were Collectors Club specials.

A recent delivery from Kernow:



The four different SR 12T ventilated vans


Somewhere for the Guard to ride in.


A set of weathered fuel tankers.

PS.

As a comparison, the BR Bauxite van against a couple of NGS kit-built specimens

All VERY nice!

After my recent run in with Dapol I was doubtful about buying more from them but I could not resist this bargain I spotted locally,but praise where praise is due, it runs great smooth and quite, not impressed by the so called factory weathering though.

[Trainfish]

But you'll be able to weather it yourself now Di 

[Bob Tidbury]

Now your a professional weathering artist Di  I'll have to bring some stock down for you to weather for me next time we visit  motherinlaw she lives not far from you in Queenborough Toothill .

Looks like there will be a queue at Di's door before long! I'm about a week in front of you I believe Bob

My latest purchase is the "City of Coventry".

And now I need to order some maroon Mk1 & Stanier coaches to match.

I'm green with envy! Would have to run under rule 1 but who cares!

[Bealman]

That's very nice.  It will look great with the maroon Mk1s behind. 

[Luke Piewalker]

Looks lovely, but unfortunately not as keen on going in the forward direction as reverse, so probably going back  :'(

I haven't posted this on here yet.  An old Graham Farish GWR streamlined railcar.  A bit noisy but runs well.

[Newportnobby]

A bit noisy but runs well.

My green one is exactly like that.

Have been a very naughty boy as I shouldn't be buying more but I actually won an EBay auction and got these VBA's to complete my rake of 6 now.  I'm not sure whether to contact the seller or not as they were missing the long couplers I need for my layout...



I also really like these VTG cement tanks, trouble is I need another 4 now  

[daveg]

A bit noisy but runs well.

My green one is exactly like that.

Snap - got 3 of 'em! But they do look great trundling down the track, making all that racket. My later Poole one(371-625) does seem to be a bit quieter than the other 2.

I took the plunge and bought Dapol's recently released FGW HST train pack.



My original plan was to buy the "dynamic lines" Mk3s separately.

However Dapol's first run of the FGW pack was well-nigh impossible to obtain, so I decided it was better to wait this time round.
It's probably the last chance to obtain it in this livery as FGW is rebranding their franchise as GWR introducing a mainly green livery.

If they decided to keep their HSTs after refurbishment, after failing to get DfT approval to purchase Hitachi AT300 dual-mode units (IEPs) for their West Country services, HSTs will almost certainly be repainted into their new livery.

So far it's been running OK on my test track.

All I'll need now is a matching TGS and I can reproduce this formation in miniature
