vulcan product fan Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Hi everyone I have had a Heljan class 50 for a while I really like Dapol's class 08 I managed to get one cheap from dcc supplies and now I have added sound from legomanbiffo. I have also picked up a few of Dapol's wagons which are steam age era wagons but my son likes to put toys in while we shunt so it's okay I have ordered the number transfers from railtec 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
