Show your Latest GB Loco and Rolling Stock Purchase.

[paulprice]

Well last weekend at the Weston on Trent show, I found a bargain to add to the Foster Street roster, another Ivatt 2-6-0 (to replace one I had which blew up).

Anyway a little work and she has soon shed her terrible BR markings, and all she needs now is a little more weathering.

From a recent job lot on Yahoo Japan auctions (Japan's Ebay - Ebay itself failed here), this pair of Dapol autocoaches:


Unfortunately the closest loco by era and region I have for these is probably not quite prototypical...

I feel another Duchess of Hamilton coming on...

how's your LMS black Duchess turned out???

[Luke Piewalker]

Not bad.... Ok by my standards, and enough to make me never want to do lining in N gauge ever again...

Looks great to me, I must admit I love the LMS black livery, but after applying it to my Jubilee, I chickened out painting my Patriot and a further Jubilee in this livery  :'( :'(

I jumped on the Blue one as I can get away with a straight renumbering/naming (and possibly cresting)

Sometimes I wish I had not chosen to model the LMS era only

I had to have one of these from Warley....

Bought Dapol Ivatt 2MT from Alton models. I had a chance to try a couple out before I bought. The one I bought runs beautifully.

A very nice photo.
They are indeed excellent models. My own one is one of my very best runners.

I'm afraid I cheated with the photo its from eHattons!!

Ah well !
Alton models are very good. A long way from me but my daughter used to live in Hampshire so have been in the model shop a few times whilst visiting.
Often seem to have some reasonable 2nd hand stuff too.

Yes, I've bought a few second hand items from them and, you get a chance to try before you buy!! They don't seem to have much N gauge 2nd hand stuff now. I'm not sure if they're just winding down from 2nd hand or they haven't had many punters wanting to sell their old stock.
