I am thinking of putting a Soundtraxx in, with tax it works out at about GBP70 delivered so a lot cheaper, has anyone used this?

 

I have the components for a DCC EX system which needs to be assembled.

The SE&CR liveried one is now £135 at Rails. I could see that with removed lettering, grubby and faded in an industrial setting.

I think this was my fault. I ordered a o-gauge rolling road yesterday...

 

I can't bend down to the floor at the moment and it seemed a good idea to buy one to actually run the o gauge shunters this website keeps making me buy...

Extremely tempted by this. O gauge loco for the price of an OO?!

 

Great livery too, shame there was only one. And it got exported to Canada in 63 to then be ignored. If someone were to repatriate it I'd expect the model to sell better!

It's very tempting. It's one of only 2 Pre-Grouping liveries I don't have.

Another one reduced at Rails

Are we all still running these as Terriers? Nobody's been tempted by a pugbash approach* yet...?

 

*Terrorers? Moditerrifictions? Terristeins?!

I keep being tempted by the price but I have been strong so far. I looked at options for an industrial loco conversion but the wheelbase and wheel diameter of a Terrier are both too big for most industrials I’m interested in.

Well a Terrier's wheelbase is a foot longer than an Austerity, despite the latter being generally much heavier and more powerful.
