Trains4U Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Yes R3434 “Channel Packet” and R3435 “Royal Mail” expect to pay £230-£275 if you manage to locate a second hand one though. Edited June 3, 2021 by Trains4U Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted June 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2021 Not with the standard smoke deflector font end yet. 1 and 3 have both the original ‘widow peak’ front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

autocoach Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I am waiting for an MN in summer 1947 condition as I could/would have seen it with a diverted boat train going through Penge East. I was a 3 year old and my cousin who babysat me often would take me down the street (Mosslea Road) to the station watch the trains. I don't remember it of course other than a faint vision of a smoking big green machine at speed. I have a Channel Packet packed away until I can clear the bookcase in my train room for display. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
