the nearest i came to was a small dalek produced as a toy, it was kinda like kinder eggs, they were sold at tescos in a box and you didnt know what was inside until you opened it, luck was on my side and i got a gold dalek, cut of its stand upto the base of the dalek and you have a roughly 1:76 scale dalek. looks good next to the tardis! ill post a picture later today

i have always thought one day there would be a o gauge loco that's swing me into o gauge, this may just be it. that looks awesome!

my moneys on either colas or harry needle getting some, maybe heavy haul or drs aswell. i cant see them being cut up. if they are i think that'll spell the end of my interest in the current railway seen. hopefully the class 60 preservation group will have enough funds for one aswel. following the cl58 group.
-
dont be so sure on the 60's going for scrap. there are alot of ex brush people and ex EWS drivers working for other companies that could use them.

thanks guys. i have seen a few images in books dated 1981. that'll do me. i fancy building a few so my excuse is that BR kept hold of a few due to problems with the new wagons.

hi im after some info on prestwin wagons (the Dapol kit wagon or wrenn one), what id like to know is, when was the last of these withdrawn from service? what did they carry? were they all painted bauxite? were the unloaded the same was as presflo's, using air? what was their main area of operation or were they pretty much country wide? and are there any decent colour images online some place? thanks in advance. dan
