Just ran the 8.35 Cattle Van empties (plus a single waggon of loco coal) - 9 waggons plus brake van (GWR Toad) from Truro to the Goods Yard at Port Perran ready for loading woth Cornish Broccoli. Loco was a GWR pannier which will return to Truro later with the 9.05 parcels (plus a milk tank).

Where's all the picies lads? Hot off the press my 30+ year old GF Merchant Navy "Belgian Marine" with a rake of 5 hopefully right era Southern Coaches, two picked up a couple of weeks ago at the QE school Wimborne toy fair with HID's approval.

Also shows the modeling knives bought following an excellent link from the forum.

Finally the reason I don't get much done on the layout, yesterdays trip to the Wimborne Beer festival!

This beauty has been travelling round my track for the past few days since I bought it from a member here

My 2-8-0 Union Pacific Consolidation pulling four Union Pacific illuminated coaches.

cheers John.

It is a Bachmann Spectrum and it runs very smoothly, I am really happy with it

I bought four Union Pacific coaches and needed a loco to pull them, saw a few comments here so looked into the Consolidation and was lucky to buy it from a member in this forum.

I will do a video of it with the four coaches later, have to visit a certain 8 y/o ~~thug~~ sorry Godson today

Very nice - even with the NOISE (!).

On a serious note - easy or not to DCC?
