You can never have too many DMUs

Quite right, especially the class 108.  My favourite N gauge DMU.  I've got three but can easily imagine buying more, a green one with small yellow panels is next on my personal hit list.

[Luke Piewalker]

Nah, the 101 was the DMU of my childhood... Although I still have a strange soft spot for Pacers...

You can never have too many DMUs

With two Blue/Grey 108s and four Regional Railways 156s I suppose I'd have to agree

I love DMUs. I think it's because I rode on them so much during my college years (probably under the weather for 50% of the time)

350 Desiro on test. Smart model and excellent runner, like all the Bachmann Farish trains I've owned.

[Stevie DC]

Gone for a little while without purchasing anything model railway related, then Ally Pally came along!



My bargain locos from the Bachmann stand! Both returned items and nabbed the pair for £100!

If anyone thinks I'm getting a soft spot for BR Standards, don't worry - they won't be once I've finished with them!!!

New short rake of coaches delivered this morning. Fits nicely into my period of 1950-1960.

I could not resist to buy a dapol Bulleid Q1...
maybe because in Italy we are living an hard crisis time I need a little bit of "Austerity" in my hobby.
I was captured by the strange and essential line of this machine and by the story behind it. In this days I have found some information about Q1 and its story but I'm asking to you some help in order to form some right convoys... both freight and passengers.

What coaches Q1 hauled? Bulleid? MK1? Green livery??Crimson and Cream???... and what about a right rake of freight wagon?

Someone of you have this machine? And what about its performance?

thanks for your help!...very appreciate
Massimo

As usual apologize me for my silly english!

The Q1 was primarily a goods loco, Massimo, so feel free to stick a load of dirty wagons behind it. And if you're running a post-war layout, feel free to add a stack of dirty weathering to the loco, too

This beauty came in the mail today:



Differing lights depending on direction of travel, runs nearly silently and very forgiving of my track. Atlas H16-44.

Thank you for parting with them

Tee hee hee hee hee...

I mean... errr... Bwa haa haa haa haa haa 

[jivebunny]

At the risk of making this a "show your latest rake" thread, I've decided this is probably the safest way to go about acquiring a uniform Dapol Mk3 rake without any nasty surprises The DVT I bought a while ago and the livery's wrong for IC Swallow, I have the new (corrected) version on pre-order.
