Show your Latest GB Loco and Rolling Stock Purchase.

Having seen the PWM shunter (static model) on Carl Woodward's Gloucester and Horton Road Shed layout thread on here, I just had to have one.

Here it is (a dummy chassis, as the surgery required to an 03/04 chassis is quite severe) alongside an Adams B4 0-4-0 (which is also a very small loco!).

The PWM will live hidden away in the depot somewhere, so a static model is great for that.

The PWM is a kit of about a dozen parts. There are just three (chassis, body and cab) in the photo.

I purchased another loco from the Bachmann Thomas and Friends range. Percy this time. It's a lovely loco however unfortunately it is faulty. The connecting rod to the pistons was loose on arrival and under load this has been falling out so the loco is going back for replacement.



Below is my video review.

I am looking forward to getting the replacement loco as it is so nice (for what it is).

Plain green Hymek from Kernow Models - brand new at old school pricing of £67.99
It would have been rude not to



Edit:- After the specified hour or so it's still running like a bag o' nails although it will crawl along when required. Pointless returning it for replacement as they haven't got any so it's either back to Dapol to see what they can do with it or to @Dr Al
 

Kernow had more in from Dapol so I sent this one back requesting a replacement they'd tested.
Evidently they were all as bad
As a refund is no use when I want a loco I have asked them to send me one of them and I'll send it away to be looked at by either Dapol themselves or a well known Doctor on the foum

I think all posts regarding the class 59 should be banned until I at least receive the balance invoice for my three on order

Ok I won't post about my FY 59001 then

Arrived today, Bachmann "Collectors Club" experimental XP64 livery Class 47 (Or Brush Type 4 as it was called back then). This is the "Sound Fitted" version.

The newly tooled 47 is a lovely model and nice to have a Collector's Club loco in a transition livery, albeit a quirky experimental one. It'll do nicely until the BR Green ones eventually arrive, and I'll definitely be having one of those too 

Oh, and the sound is excellent, great sound file and plenty loud enough

I already knew about yours so it doesn't count. My lesson learnt is to pay in full next time although that would have been a big chunk out of my beer kitty for all 3.

My BR Dance Hall brake van has arrived. Seems Rails of Sheffield sent it in a ballroom

My latest bargain purchase at half of the original list price is a BR livery ex SECR Birdcage Set. I have been "umming and aahing" about these for a while and finally caved. The coaches are absolutely exquisite, albeit a fairly niche choice which is probably why they didn't sell all that well and I can't help thinking something like Gresley Suburbans might have been a better choice (albeit unlikely as Hornby have the OO Market I suppose).

As a predominately BR Eastern/London Midland modeller these are very much a "Rule 1" purchase which I will justify by them being "borrowed" from SR to cover a coaching shortage and they do look rather nice behind a J39 



In terms of boxes though, I can't compete with yours @Newportnobby 

Roy

[Newportnobby]

They are a nice set, Roy. I have them but, Kimbolted being based loosely on Oxford, there were many SR trip workings up to there and beyond. My excuse was a workers train to Cowley but I may plagiarise your 'reason' as being more believeable

[crewearpley40]

Looks nice purchases but mick. Surely bit excessive just for a brake van. I would have thought if you  brought 4 or 5 items that size be fine seems a smaller box would have been better and the postage of the weight

I rest my case

Im afraid that ive succumbed to my inner Paddington - i used to live around the corner from him, and read nearly all of his books when they were first published!!

[Thorpe Parva]

Wow. Never really expected to see this RTR in N gauge. Just running it in.

Excellent service from Kernow as usual (no connection) as delivery less than 24 hours after ordering.

[Newportnobby]

Looks like Rails are using DPD for mine. I hope to see it maybe Thursday
Seems they've sold out their allocation of sound fitted 10000 already
