I wouldn't for two milk tankers. Maybe a rare or a Limited Edition train set, but never rolling stock, never.

Thanks for clearing that for me. So I doubt I will ever get MK2 coaches in Virgin Trains livery any time soon because of the high price. Saving up is in need or wait for the prices to go down

Can anyone answer me this question which has been bugging me for some time now. It has to do with Virgin Trains Hornby MK2 coaches being sold at pretty high prices for an old model which has been discontinued by Hornby for some time. I know it is discontinued but why at the high prices. I mean in desperate need to build my Virgin Trains collection for some time as I have only got a MK2 brake and 2 MK3 coaches and 1 HST set of power cars. Sorry if this is in the wrong topic, but didn't know where to right this

Brilliant recreation of the AL5

Why were the Class 16's not preserved?. By looking at this loco, I'm getting interested in its difference of design of British rail Diesel locomotives, and I might need to save up to buy one. And can anyone tell me more about the Class 16's if possible, just interested in their history

Hi Ed, the sparking is from the driving wheels and at times it makes a big spark or two when running. Now as soon as whenever I can get a newer loco drive chassis for the Triang L1, I might repaint the locomotive in a different BR colour after replacing the chassis

So the T9 chassis will fit the L1 shell Thanks for help and I will try and find a spare T9 chassis on the internet

Now if there are similar topics to this can any of the forum moderators move my topic to the right area for this question to be answered. Right I bought a Triang L1 from ebay last month to just increase my locomotive collection, and to basically own a vintage locomotive. Now I was wondering if at all I could fit a Hornby M7 chassis or a Hornby 2P chassis under the body of the L1 class to bring it up to date and to stop any sparks from occurring when running around my track. I am not a complete expert of replacing the chassis of Model railway locomotives with another, but trying to get the hang of it so that it wouldn't be too difficult the next time I try and to replace a chassis of any locomotive in 00 gauge. So I was wondering if a modern Hornby locomotive chassis of the 4-4-0 wheel configuration can replace the Triang L1 4-4-0 chassis with ease. And If so what are the wheel diameters for the other two locomotives as well as the L1 chassis wheel diameter to exactly replace with. So if anyone on here knows exactly of the wheel diameter of these three locomotives, I would much grateful of, as well as if it is difficult for a novice railway modeller to do this replacement. One last thing, is the Hornby 2P chassis loco drive or tender drive Thanks
