Most definitely SPAM, and one of the best CDN$5 purchases I ever made!

(And it still runs!)

The lima 31 was my first locomotive ever (but in BR blue) as part of a christmas present back in 19?? Alas I sold it before I'd ever tasted SPAM!

Mine sadly died some years back, in the "funny smell, smoke and that's a ringfield motor that won't be coming back to life" way.

At least though it was easy to convert to DCC, and these days I guess you could fit one with sound

Today's spam. White metal class 25 on a modified US style chassis, with a pair of Beaver Mark 1 suburban coaches.

The perfect SPAM model a SPAM can :)

One of my dream locomotives I wanted as an 11 year old.. only had to wait 40 years!  But here is an early Grafar 35001 'Channel Packet'



I think this has been posted before, but thought I would add it to this thread, she still runs, though the current draw is a bit high and she takes a bit to get going sometimes
