Another Bachmann Royal Mail TPO coach but with nets etc. I love Royal Mail TPO systems and now have 9 (4 Bachmann, 2 Hornby LMS and 2 Hornby GWR and my HD coach). As expected I have the DVD of the GPO film of the TPO in LMS days and several books.

A Dapol County of Worcester and I've just ordered a Hornby metal front pony truck for it. Not that there is anything wrong with the plastic original other than they are a bit light. Once I get the pony truck I'll DCC chip it.

 

I must admit these are about a decade too new for model but they are such good runners I couln't resist

Two C1 Atlantics. One in GNR livery, the other purchased later in LNER livery.

Just beautiful and run very smoothly and quietly indeed. No problems at all on the Trix plasic ballast track that is immensely stable, allows you to run wires within the ballast section and look fine to me with a very light sprinkling of "real" chips, in N gauge, and weathering. The problem is the limited choice in point geometry.

 

Come on now Hornby, bring us a NER Atlantic and a rake of coaches from the same company. They could also be offered in LNER and BR liveries.

In the last month or so I have bought:

 

- A Hornby R3113 BR 4-6-0 Class B1 61270 DCC ready. To be converted to sound etc at some time.

 

- A BR lined black late BR crest and weathered N Class fitted with Youchoos sound on a Zimo decoder, working directional rear lamp, firebox flicker, cablight and crew.

 

- A BR Standard Class 5MT with lined green late crest livery, fitted with Youchoos sound on a Zimo decoder, smoke unit, stay alive capacitor, working directional lamps and firebox glow. Smoke operated separately on a 2nd decoder.

 

- Early and late Midland Compounds, one DCC ready and the other DCC fitted. I intend to do the same with them as the B1.

 

A Class 3F BR black late crest, fitted with Howes sound, firebox glow and 2 working directional front lamps.

 

- 10 yards of Peco flexitrack, plus track pins and rail joiners.

 

- Dremel kit for cutting pointwork rails.

A Wrenn Dorchester in new condition, comestically and mechanically. Will haul anything. I just love these nice, heavy engines that aren't going to lose any detailing parts on the track. Ok so they are not absolutely scale, but they run soooo well. I do appreciate the minute detail on modern models that I also buy but one does have to be ever so careful when operating them. These Wrenn models can fetch idiot prices. Waslucky to get it for £100 and it is almost mint. And its motor can be maintained and repaired!
