Just noticed this set being advertised by Micro Mark in the USA.  DDC Sound fitted including DCC controller.

Aren't these the models that were in the original Airfix railways catalogue circa 1977. The one that first introduced the Prairie and Class 31. They also featured some US old timers . They've earned their keep if its the same models tarted up!

According to the advert they are 'all new tooling'. They are also fitted with DCC sound. The pictures have no sign of the shaft drive from the tender that was prominent on the original locos. So apparently not old models tarted up. (CJL)
