  1. Try this link. MIGHT work 😆 https://www.flickr.com/gp/156695429@N03/ixC513
  2. I'll do my best but for some reason everything I do throws up a problem.
  3. /media/tinymce_upload/ba708a3d633bb3a1f306cc6f278951db.JPG
  4. It's OO Jacob. It was the second loco my dad bought for our train set in the 50’s.
  5. When you say isn't being made, do you mean by Hornby or all of the other companies. There are people who will build you any loco but it will cost a great deal of money.
  6. Apart from the rust patches it's in great external condition SoT. Wish I still had mine, I've no idea where it went.
  7. Years ago on my old layout in the attic which had a circuit about 10X10 ft which gave a track length of about 40 ft, I attached all the rolling stock I could to a Wrenn Castle class loco. The coupling of the last wagon was about 1 inch away from the front of the loco, so I reckon about 39ft of coaches and wagons. No gradients.
  8. I have a couple of Kings, early crest blue single chimney and early crest green double chimney, that'll do me. I really hope the 61XX makes an appearance, great favourite in my spotting days in Slough.
  9. You're probably right, it never got past the CAD stage. Anyway the Hornby one is a beauty.
  10. I reckon Hornby will have cornered the King market by the time the other version appears, if it does. Seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. No longer appears on Hattons project update list.
  11. Maybe only you were interested Jacob. Well done anyway. I've got an Annie and Clarabel, no idea what faces they have though, and a Thomas body.
  12. I converted my Railroad 4-6-0 County to a double chimney version. Will more than likely get a single chimney version some time.
  13. I wish they'd make a Tanner Oner 61XX again, long overdue. Agree about the Manor and 43XX. Definitely 3 I'd buy.
  14. They are toy trains I agree, because we play with them. I thought football was 22 bags of wind kicking a ball. 😆
  15. Apparently the tender drive A4 was Hornby's biggest seller before my time HB. Wow Hornby really were way way ahead of everybody else.
  16. Thank you Percy I hope my advice is correct. If you are referring to my remark about it being a best seller I thank you kindly. If not I apologise. In future try not to be so rude it is very unbecoming.
  17. Biggest selling product, tender drive A4?????? If I remember correctly one screw at the front under the bogie, lift front and slide body gently backwards until lug at back disengages. Service sheet shows screw and rear lug. Might have changed.
  18. That's true PP. I only found 3 places with the Castle in stock, one was 25 and the other 35 quid more than where I got it plus free p&p.
