2nd one from the right looks a bit grubby, looks like it could do with a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth 

I'm liking the 7 x 20 tonners, John

I have just received these back from the chippy (Wicknes models) at the same time, my new parcels point arrived!

This was a freeby from my Train club, in Hazel Grove !
It was made by Dapol. Quite a nice thought you not think ?

Is it not the wrong size?

Yes its OO but it was still a nice gift.

Whatever scale you get them in, it's always nice to get a gift, and its a cracking looking model

I have got a OO scale Tram layout I started early last year.
So as I WILL no doubt go back to it when I finish my N gauge, I will have to purchase a OO Loco. I will ask Dapol if they can produce any more, so I can have a few of them.

It's not very often that it's possible to pick up bargains online these days, but at the weekend I spotted a second-hand blue Farish 47 which had just been listed on Hattons' website as a non-runner, at a very reasonable price - so I bought it to see if I could repair it, and if not try to convert it to a dummy.

It arrived today and on removing the body the melted decoder was fairly obvious! Pulled it out and put a blanking plate in, and it's one of the smoothest-running locos I have, and the lights all work properly too!

Very nice! They have another loco listed as having a blown decoder but no other issues that I was interested in, as it is well below MSRP for a new one. Maybe I should take a second look...

I've got Adam Ant to thank for the coal wagons (all were £3.50 each), the Hymek and the Warship. If I hadn't gone to see him perform in Portsmouth then I wouldn't have gone to Portsmouth model shop or Ron Lines in Southampton. I hate going to Ron Lines in particular as it always costs me about £100 to get out of the shop!

I can now run 4x full length HSTs. And my tanker rake has grown by 1 

Took a small diversion home yesterday (as I didn't have the kids with me) to Alton Models.
Just fancied getting something to add to the collection.
