Will we ever see a red LMS compound, we should be on the second or third incarnation of such after all these years, and we haven't seen one yet. They were called Crimson Ramblers, Mr. Bachmann, please take the hint.
As an LMS fan thank God for Bachmann over the last few years. My naturally joyous disposition would have been dampened slightly if my dismal, boring, sad, depressing and uneventful life only had Hornbys meagre offerings to look forward too.
Over the last few years I have had approximately 40 odd 3.5's reblown for LMS steam, the only two dealers I found for this service were Olivia's and Howes. If you find any others please let me know.
Anyone noticed the picture accompanying K2103 in the advert in the new Modeller? Something doesn't look quite right, or were these built for steep inclines?
If you look at today's MREmag there's a photo of a Bachmann display cabinet at the recent announcements day, and the are 2 1f's in it, a BR open cab and LMS closed cab. They should be here soon as a mag reviewer (sorry, can't remember which post or member) said one had landed on his desk last week for review.
