You know, the more I look at that Caledonian Fairburn, the more I like it. Its a very pretty loco. I might just have to get one - I do have a preserved railway for a layout so I can justify it (that's my story anyway).

Given in and bought it. Also S&D 4F. It's Xmas after all. Not sure how to tell Misses though!!

I've been googling to find the 'real' 2085 loco in the Caledonian livery and come up with these links.

Does anyone know what that coach is in the last photo. Looks like a Mk1 but not familiar with the livery?

It was love at first sight I just couldn't resist the temptation any longer. I just had to join so I could buy this little beauty 



And got one of these for joining also!

Don't ask me why, Dave, but that looks naff for some reason. Sorry, but I prefer the old Pullman brakes which were still used with the MK1 coaches.

I've got the Mk I and the older type. They both look great IMHO.

That's Ok Mick each to their own I guess, for me I think its unique and really like it.
