Time to Celebrate a Jubilee

Well thanks to a little coercion from various people on here (you know who you are) I have secured another Jubilee from EvilBay for the fleet. Being a very very good Boy I told the Domestic Overlord what I had done, and I was told that it does not matter as I could have as many trains as I wanted, HOW Lucky am I?

 

Anyway before I go on a mad Jubilee shopping spree (don't worry it wont happen, as I like having money I have not used yet too much) I thought I would start a proper stock count of the collection, and so I started with the box that had my Jubes in. Maybe I's going mad but I thought I only had 7, as it happens I have 8 plus the one soon to be delivered (lets hope its not a dog).

I have to say personally the Jubilees are one of the most beautiful loco's ever built and that the only livery that suited these machines was Crimson, but having repainted two of them into Post War lined black I think this livery really suites them.

 

So two questions remain to be answered, do I repaint the latest addition to the fleet into post war black? and how do I tell the Domestic Overlord I found a Black 5 and Royal Scott I sort of forgot I had :)

 

If there is one thing I have learnt though today is that stock counting your collection may not be a good idea, and I've only counted one box.

 

As ever until the next time Happy Modelling :)

Lovely collection of Jubes! I am now starting to build up a fleet of LMS loco's, but way behind you and I only have a small variety, but I see how it can be to be addicted to collecting just one or two loco types.

Obsessed! :D Have some red ones still. Surely all black is a bit dull?

 

I am not obsessed, and if I don't repaint the latest jube when it arrives I will have 7 Crimson ones, the lines black livery is brilliant though

Very nice, and only 182 left to get! :P

 

I mean, it's only fitting to have one of all the Jubilees ever built isn't it? ;)

 

 

With comments like that you will get me into trouble, though 182 more would not hurt would it

Excellent, no one can resist the power of the LMS! :D

 

Your not supposed to encourage me into producing more loco;s at some point the Domestic Overlord may put a limit on my collection :(
