It is the test track of my local club.
One O gauge track, then OO and then TT. The TT is only for one member though, so we are tempted to rip it up and put in another OO track. mwhahaha!
We are working on the OO track next week as it needs some attention. |

Time for a couple more locos, first up we have a Bachmann 'Super D':
My example is in the early BR livery, and is numbered as preserved example No. 49395.
A feature on some new models is that the smokebox door opens, so that thos who have shed scenes could have a fireman shovelling out the ash.
Unfortunately though, the blastpipe and tubeplate are not modelled. Surely seeing as they went to the effort of making the door open they could have detailed the interior?
Now, something that I'm sure Mr. Jane will approve of:
This is my Heljan Class 52 (or Western). I chose this one (D1015 Western Champion) as 1) it is a preserved example, 2) I like the livery!
Different headcodes are supplied with the model, and I fitted this example at one end:

Because they kept breaking down 
Title of best diesel ever built surely has to go to the Deltic well thats what I would like to say but the class 37 must take the prize. As useful today as it was 40 years ago.?

Don't forget that they leaked hydraulic oil everywhere, Ian 
Best sounding diesel has to be a Deltic.
Best diesel work wise has to be a 37 or 47, no question. |
