Sandhole Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 2 hours ago, KNP said: Went ‘Up North’ yesterday to visit our friends and whilst there Andrew said he had some OO items. Well, one couldn’t say no could one so I had to have a look and in his box of loco’s he had 6697. This is a very old Mainline Railways 56xx which was released in 1983 but can still hold it’s own against newer models. A few issues to sort, lamp irons, needs a shirt button motif and converting to DCC. He kindly let me have this on permanent loan fully understanding it won’t look like this is a few weeks time. A really unusual loco for LM as they mainly lived in the Welsh Valleys but some did venture down to Bristol and Swindon so with a slight minimal twisting rule 1 could apply…. I bought a brand new 56XX from Bradford Model Centre in Manchester. It's still running fine with it's pancake motor. I thought Mainline nailed the unique balance weights on this loco. The revamped chassis ones don't look as good in that department. Chris. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
