Now then, I aquired these models many years ago during my time at BEATTIES in Leeds and had completely forgotton I had them until they turned up earlier on today buried in the depths of the garage! I havent seen them for perhaps 20 years, but the loco ran perfectly 1st time, though the rear axle has a slight wobble. I'm sure theyre scratchbuilt but if anyone can throw any light on them, I'd love to know more. Thanks chaps!

(Sorry about having to link, I tried the photobucket malarky but it didnt go too well)

That's not a model railway, that's a miniature railway!
or have you posted the wrong link?
I've never heard of such items being for sale at Beatties...

PS I used to live in west park (behind lawnswood, where narrow gauge north used to be) and always used to ask my parents if we could go. Only my dad ever said yes lol
were you on the upstairs counter?

My apologies, link now corrected to just show the N gauge stuff. The site also shows some of my O Gauge tinplate and 5" Gauge live steam. Yes, I did indeed work upstairs in the Model railway Dept for almost 18 years before leaving to start driving real trains. I know West Park well, I live 2 minutes from there, and always visit the Narrow Gauge North events. (I have 16mm live steam too! Ahem!) Just if.... the rest can be found here http://www.flickr.com/photos/51185651@N06

Ah cool, I used to live just off west park drive.

Nice N gauge!
