Yeah tank...
Its a sub miniture flashing led. Runing through a bridge rectifire so that it flashes going either direction..

My most unusual loco is this...



It's an Arnold Bay s 3/6 according to the instructions, I think it's about 40 years old, but runs really well !
Cost me £10 !

You can go off people. I've been after that loco for years. They usually go for over £100.00, maybe £200.00!

A set of drivers alone can sell for £7.66 and that's without postage! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARNOLD-2530-Ersatz-Antriebsachse-Vierkantaufnahme-S-3-6-/130487560096?pt=DE_Modellbau_Modelleisenbahnen&hash=item1e61aa27a0

Most unusual train has to be this Southwest trains/Southern hybrid spotted recently

The above picture looks incredibly real.......so I'm guessing they're not models?!

Sadly no-one makes Electrostars or Desiros (SWT) - wish they did! So it is real life. What impresses me about Southern and SWT is that their electric trains always seem to be gleaming.

Pendy - I tihnk that if the OHL Desiro sells well (350) then there is a good chance that Bachmann/Farish will do an SWT version.

For the electrostar I have been looking at doing a conversion based on a 3d printed plugin front end and detailing parts with vinyl sides to go on a 3 car Farish 170 chopped down to size (needs to go from a 23m chassis to 20m).  But don't hold your breath waiting!

Cheers, Mike

I've already contacted Mercig with regards to repainting one of the London Midlands 350's into a SWT 450  .

OK, not one of mine, but an unusual use for a Farish 08 shunter seen in a jewellery shop window in Edinburgh.
....and yes, that probably is an N-Gaugement ring in the wagon.

I just noticed the jeweller even has his own name on the wagons - nice one.

Great idea!

 I was modelling this train which is known as "Palace on Wheels" in India. It is like a five star hotel running in the state of Rajasthan. It has got shops, resturants, entertainment rooms and many such rooms in it. Each wagn acts as one of the above rooms. Although getting together the train was easy but the detailing of every wagon took a lot of time but I am glad that it came out nicely. I can share pictures if any of you are interested.
