Seems we ought to create a new thread for UK SPAM (Society for the Preservation of Ancient Models)[1] rather than clog @trainwaiting's threads up.
This morning's SPAM railtour, hauled by a an old kit built J63 and the original generation Minitrix dock tank (both using the same mninitrix chassis design) plus a couple of early Farish generic four wheelers.

Would Hornby Minitrix count as Ancient?
Can someone suggest a date/year after which this description would not be applicable please.
Cheers!
@EtchedPixels , has your kit built J63 featured somewhere else - it looks familiar?

The relationship with Hornby ran from around 1973 to early 80s I think. There were Minitrix British models before and after the period when Hornby was involved.
There is a clue with the boxes, as the Hornby period models have red/yellow labels and box lids with "Hornby" in the branding :) , whist they. are green labels before and after.
