    http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=321834930031&globalID=EBAY-GB Id be suprised if this has featured on this thread before. Its unbelievable what s**t some people will sell. If Bachmann adverts from 'old delapidated periodicals' are worth just shy of £6 each, with all the old model rails, railway modellers and Hornby mags ive got im loaded!

    Managed to get two from Peterborough smiffs. Good value really for spares. One will he kept on display until I need a boiler or tender body. That's what I've been using the majority of the collection for, spare boilers so I don't have to roll my own!!

    a couple of grids that spring to mind, one of the dreaded class members which haunted me was 56120, I remember seeing it on the biggleswade bricks and through whittlesea no end of times, one which was a fave was 56084. my dad had the mainline model and I rememeber watching it hammer through whitlesea on the wisbech deanside petfood train in loadhaul livery.(the only time I ever sawher 'in the flesh') I did phone the scrap yard she went to to buy a the cabside number, but alas it had already gone.

    this picture from hattons pre-owned section make me smile, gives new meaning to the phrase, 'selling fast'! www.ehattons.com/120388/Mainline_37429_LN_04_7_plank_coke_wagon_with_coal_rail_in_Carpenter_sons_ltd_livery_pre_owned_like/stockdetail.aspx

    I think it's the triang loco and tender drive tender. The tender also has the flangeless Middle wheel like hornbys did! Mine will be used to represent a loco during restoration.

      Take photos of your locos and add them to your list. It helps tracking them if something unfortunate happens

    what year did reggie rail first appear on a tractor? I used to have a Bachmann one but sold it, after seeing some on here I may have to obtain one again.

    I have spent a very enjoyable couple of hours looking through this thread. some lovely images, especially all the colour steam. great stuff.

    I really hope someone hasn't claimed sarah Siddons as a limited edition, with special box to bump price up. May have to reconsider my preorder now.

    The NVR's Thomas is also the only one that doesn't need a license from the Americans who own the rights, as the Rev himself named it. The only clause with that is it isn't allowed a three dimensional face. Hence why it always carries the painted wooden one, which I think add more charm. I believe the picture above showing 1800 (Thomas) next to the tender was whilst it was still in service with British sugar, as the 'Peterborough railway society' as it was then did store standard 5 73050 at the BSC works for a while.
