L&YR 2-4-2 Tank 10713 LMS Crimson - This loco was one I was going to get on multiple occasions but either the model shop did not have it in stock or I saw something else to spend my money on at an exhibition. Then last year I went to a local exhibition and saw this at the kernow stand and saw it was at a very reasonable price. The livery on this locomotive is really nice and LMS crimson is probably one of my favorite of the big 4 liveries.

USA class 0-6-0 Tank 72 'Worth Valley' Black and Silver - When i first saw these I wasn't too sure on them but then I saw a couple of YouTube reviews and that peeked my interest and then again at a local exhibition kernow had a couple available and this livery stood out to me the most and seeing as it is the preserved livery as well. This one will probably be a visitor loco as it already belongs to a heritage railway.

Wainwright H class 0-4-4 Tank 308 SECR - pretty much as soon as they announced these i had to pre-order one. awkwardly it came out when i already spent quite a bit that month on other things. I am uncertain if i will also get the collectors club one but will mostly like leave it to give other people a chance to get one in such a nice livery.

Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tank 16" 2226 "Katie" Lined Maroon - my most recent addition to my collection and yet to have a run in as i have no access to a test track until Tuesday but impressions of the model are good and will go well with my pecket and on industrial galas.

For now i think ill focus less on buying new locos and getting my current on chipped.

Also i finally have come up with a name for the station which is "Sempach" which is the name of the place my late grandparents on my mothers side lived. I have a large vinyl sticker made for me as a station totem which will go above the layout in the garage. im also thinking of changing the name of the railway to the west surrey and Sussex railway (WS&SR) instead of the north downs heritage railway but am not quite sure yet and would like some feedback by readers to answer the poll.

Again thank you for reading and now the weather seems to be getting better I can make some progress on the clearing of the garage and building of the layout.
