Jeff Mennell Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Jacob, yes indeed, she's already spent it. Apparently I'm allowed one loco per month. Second hand of course. Can't afford the new loco prices, even from the 'box shifters'. I'm not sure if she's allowing roll-overs, (if i miss a month). Heck, if she does then maybe I could afford to buy something other than 0-6-0 s! I've always wanted an Evening Star and a Flying Scot.Also, it was the Mainline loco that was wonky.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Maybe you could stop buying 0-6-0's for a few months and save some money, to buy Flying Scotsman or Evening Star, to that bigger loco that you want. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mennell Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Jacob, as mentioned it really depends on whether I am allowed to save up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I see. So if you can't save up, then you could have trouble getting Flying Scotsman or Evening Star, then! GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo1707820979 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Bought at a local show from my favourite West Country dealer. An attractive J-92 in mint condition, boxed and at well under what seems to be the going price. Very pleased with the loco, which is an excellent runner. Private livery "Cadley Hill No 1" in green and red. (Tried unsuccesfully to load a picture- sorry about that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good to put it on display. Well done.Yes, it's a nice loco the Royal Alex I have the later Hornby version of it. I have the Hornby version too - DCC Ready - it's a nice looking loco. It was also named The Brighton Evening Argus. I'm not sure why they changed the name - someone will give the reason?I've just Googled it, and it would appear that it was Brighton Evening Argus in 1980 and then became The Royal Alex in 1992.

Bulver Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Enjoyed a weekend in Swindon with my wife, helping a friend celebrate his 70th, and suggested to my lady it would be a travesty for her not to go to the McArthur Glen shopping outlet, spent a good hour visiting the Steam Museum, and will definitely return in the near future. Had another half hour or so in the Hornby shop, bought the sound kit for my ‘Tornado’, and a decoder for the Peckett, which I awaiting delivery of. Lovely day.
