That looks a stunning model. They are a great loco, but I didn't order one just because it would look a bit over-sized on my relatively small layout.
Very good! I keep hoping that someone will make the Oakworth Timothy Taylors wagon.
I've been away for a while, so a number of acquisitions had built up with the postie, who duly delivered them today
A pair of nuclear flask wagons- ordered long ago- to go with my DRS loco's. These wagons are really nice, they run well and come with a fantastic detailing kit including tail lamps.

I was also able to complete a prototypical Intercity-era Fort William sleeper rake, with the new Hornby SLEP's, a Hornby MK2 Brake picked up in a sale and an old new LIMA GUV from Ebay.

Naturally, I needed something to haul them, so a DCC Fitted 37/4 was acquired for under £100 due to Rails of Sheffield's Ebay sale:

I also picked up a couple of bachmann lamp huts, which are die cast, surprisingly heavy, well-finished
and good quality. One will feature on the railway, the other will act as a shed for the local farmer.
