LOL. Nice one mate.

I got mine in a bit of a state from a model ex - Â£37.

A lot of work - weathering, detailing, rewiring - later, it looks like this;

Not bad eh?

It runs on the model railways clubs layout, which uses feedback controllers. For some reason the ordinary bachmann PCB's literally blow the controllers

So they all have to be fitted with a custom board, which a very clever member devised..

No models for christmas this year, but last year I got 50035 and 37671

Yup!

Did alright here, got this at a Bargain price, this is what Rose got me for Xmas, started slowly collecting these since they are really impressive models, going to have to buy a bunch of parts to scratch build a peak or Deltic though

(don't mind the racing cars, I tend to start collecting stuff and get carried away!)

The dash9 is the latest G-scale from Aristocraft, will be running this on our track at work in the summer hopefully.

Tim,

Great looking model and by the way why would anyone mind the racing cars ? (Mika Hakinnen was my favourite driver!).
