Sorely tempted - attractive looking loco with great features and at a very reasonable price.

Wonderful rhythm coming from that little loco. It looks great with a modest formation such as this.

Hi, great video as always looks to be a really nice engine very much at home in the country setting on Topley Dale

Nice video again..Could you let us know what make/number the Southern Railway green van was. Absolutely gorgeous. Many thanks

I once got told off by an ex-GWR chap for saying "ex - ex". He said that the "XX" denotes any number in the series after the class number. In GWR language, the "XX" was always quoted as "hundred". Hence in the spoken word, "61XX class" would have been quoted as "Sixty one hundred class". I think the GWR was unique in this regard. I don't recall seeing "XX" being used as a wildcard designation on other British railways.

Very nice sound

Nice loco and seemingly a better version than Hornby's? Nice looking rake of hopper wagons in the background!

i've got mine & the removable cab roof was so easy to remove it made sticking in my driver & fireman a breeze

[@stocktonjunction]

Looks great

[@Justplast]

Very nice

[@andykopgod]

How much?

[@stevenpitts6665]

That’s a great model, but I personally still don’t like sound.
