Look what arrived!

The long anticipated and quite delayed J15 from Hornby (R3231) made it to Model Railways Direct yesterday, apparently to the surprise of everyone involved (and much to the horror of my bank account). This is the DCC Ready Early BR crest version as 65356 (and as this was a Cambridge shed number likely to stay that way http://www.railuk.info/steam/getsteam.php?row_id=18587!). Several of these saw service on the line, and as I haven't built it a Huntingdon East shed to retire to yet, I kept it busy shunting in the Buckden yard today.

I also have a new camera (a Canon EOS 1200D) which obviously I need to get used to to try and increase the depth of field....
