Now there is a concept

It will be interesting to contrast the two postings come tomorrow

£102 for three coaches is probably where things are now.

Check out the prices for triple packs of Fleischmann coaches at, say, Gaugemaster.  All around £100-£130. 

I suspect this is the new normal.

Ben,

Please stop encouraging the suppliers to increase the prices. Please resist the temptation to announce the going rate for Fleischmann coaches.

Best regards,

Joe

The birdcage stock was ex-SECR (basically the eastern side of what became the Southern) whereas T9s were ex-LSWR (the western portion). There may have been occurrences of a T9 hauling birdcage stock but I don't think it was very common.

The UM T9 has the 6 wheel tender which was fitted to most of the 300 series locos starting in the late 20s through to WW2 due to many of the Eastern section turntables being too short to cope with the 8 wheel watercarts;  these T9s were all sent to the Eastern and Central sections as those sections tended to have less economical locos which the SR gradually scrapped.  The condition of the track and weight limits on bridges precluded use of larger locos for some years on many of the Ex SECR lines.

The T9s therefore will have spent a lot of time hauling ex SECR stock, so much so that ex SECR stock would probably be more correct; some returned after WW2 until conditions improved, plus the Spam Cans started to appear.

I wouldn't get too excited, but I'd expect Dave to announce some items to fill some gaps somewhere.......

I'd live a class 21/29, but I'm not hopeful...

I've pre-ordered a Birdcage set and will await notification of the real price when I can either go for it or run away.

My collection of locos and rolling stock started out as GWR centered but I developed a bad bout of Ruleone-itus and now have a great mix of kit including a bit of SR, waiting for a new layout.

Desperate to get the house sale/purchase done and dusted so I can start building and running trains again.

Sorry - I meant to say :

"Please resist the temptation to announce the going rate for Fleischmann LOCOS"

Best regards,

Sadly nothing that suits me in his announcement, fairly certain the Q6 never reached as far north as Perth.

Might pick up another class 17. I already have a single and a double (power + dummy) on order. Possibly another double could be on the cards.

If only I could justify a 300 series T9 hauling birdcage stock in the western sector (ex-LSWR)!

Expect to see a CAD image around this time next year, and if you're lucky it might be in the shops by Christmas 2015!   

[Newportnobby]

Will the catalogue come out on time, I wonder?

Need I say more?

AFAIK the catologue was being given out over the weekend for those traders who attended and in the post for those who didnt so they should be out there by now!
