6990WitherslackHall Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I believe some models are going to be made in OO and N by Bachmann. I'd definitely buy two in N for Draxbridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Radford Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 31 March 2022 - Tutbury & Hatton 60056 from Tuebrook Sidings to Longport and coupled up behind 69005 & 69001, then onwards to, I think, Nottingham Eastcroft. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
