My early crest just arrived but not out the box yet.

The SR green version looks a beaut too but I do have the UM T9 to go with my Maunsells.

Risk the wrath of Significant Other by getting the green one or go one worse and order the Merchant Navy?

Just like in real life, the T9 gets downgraded to lesser duties now that the newer N Class has arrived...

Isn't the MN a bit late for the Maunsells, Dave?

Mind you, you're always in the

and only the depth varies so what the heck.

SR version ordered - I shall of course blame you guys for encouraging such a weak-willed old man!

And of course it's loads cheaper than the MN

Now, where did I leave me tin hat?

Late crest out of the box - it will survive!
Lovely runner.

Take that front coupling off and there is no way anyone would think that was N gauge.

Latest loco for 'Dunestone' on the test track. Run in, now waiting for its first revenue-earning service - lets not forget it was a mixed-traffic engine (4P 5FB)...

All lovely models!

As your in the do-do's why not go the whole hog and get the MN as well? As the old saying goes " you might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb."

They are indeed superb models.
Looks very much at home with Maunsell carriages.
Just got my late BR crest. Looks great but so delicate - I'm afraid to take it out of the box!!
Tomorrow I will pluck up the courage.
Also received BR green class 47 which also looks great - again I'll risk taking it out of the box tomorrow. I'd forgotten how big class 47's were. Looks impressive.

N class and class 47 both tested and perfect runners.
Running in to follow soon.
Both locos highly recommended.

Oh dear! That really would put my future in sever jeopardy!

I'll show your kind suggestion and my reply to SO just to prove that I can behave, occasionally.

Three new wagons, although two are probably quite old.

Graham Farish Horsebox and refrigerated van.

plus a Dapol 21T mineral wagon
