Great locos, I have that 37 also.

According to Hattons Firefly should be due in this week !! Finally the Windsors will be able to go on tour

Very nice, I am still practising on rolling stock. Don't have the courage yet to have a go on a loco.

The veggie garden looks great; are these Busch products? Seaweed on the rocks is a nice touch and not often seen as you mentioned. You just need a a few hundred gulls, puffins etc.....

This is coming on a treat Jamie.

Such a great layout, it would be easy to mistake it for the real thing.

Great job Lee, I think we have traded weather with you guys. It is supposed to pour all week here !

Looking good so far.

They all look really good Lee but I am partial to the 47 and 87 both for livery and loco

I said the same thing Derek. Great modelling !!

Thanks for the information Jeff, much obliged.

Looks great, can I ask what you are using to makes the stones?

Layout looks great, nice scenic work.

The price is silly and you are not thick. There is no need to mention the locos IMO.

Cheers, I will keep an eye open for some of them then. Scott

Just had a read over your thread. Very enjoyable and I look forward to following along. Can I ask who makes the Plymouth & the Otter Brewery vans? Regards Scott

Not that bad really, I just bought a sound 37 that was £155.00 from Hattons. Have you seen the price of a Hornby sound loco? New class 08 £219

WOW ! They are not easy to find (at least on the web) took me a year to get mine but I only paid about half that amount.

The Brutes are now sold out at Hattons, within the first day I believe. They were selling at £1.05 over RRP. and still sold out. It all works out in the wash I suppose you save a bit on one thing but pay a little more on another. I prefer Hattons full stop as I don't have to create a half dozen different accounts with other vendors just to save a few pence. You have to look at the whole picture sometimes especially when having items shipped overseas.

Hopefully I will be able to pull it off. This will be my first bash at it. I did pickup Drake last year, about this time and I may have to pick up another Jubilee sometime in the future. I wouldn't mind getting a Black 5. I also like the look of the Bachmann 3F and the Class 8750 that is due to be released soon. I don't have a layout thread for this layout that I have in mind as I only have the plywood currently. As soon as I get a few bits together I will start one. My current trainset can be found in my signature. When funds allow this will be my fictitious layout which will roughly be 24 x 14 but that could well be in another lifetime :D It is quite warm here but we are expecting some rain over the next few days. The city where I live I borders Detroit, Michigan so we are quite a way from Calgary thank goodness. I do have friends there however and they say it is just awful. They are safe and hopefully it will let up soon. Regards Scott

Sounds like a nice lineup Jeff. My preferred era is 1980s and located in Yorkshire. I stumbled across DRAKE and thought I would have one, I think it was about £56 DCC fitted so would have been rude not too. Then I found out it was scrapped after its steam days:(. So I have decided to do a mini 8x2 end to end set in late steam somewhere up north. I am not a stickler for accuracy, just after an overall feel of the era and location.

Cheers Jeff, Never had a 9F at all, either Hornby or Bachmann. I have heard that both are very good with a bit more detail on the Bachmann ones. I do have myself a very smart Bachmann 'DRAKE' Jubilee though Nice loco and for the price I couldn't say no.
