My dear lady and I went curio hunting in Hungerford today. I went along to have a look for anything made of brass or something like that. I saw a box of trains for £30. ![]() Jo proposed £25 and they agreed on £27. This lot were in the box. ![]() I have a thing about Princesses. ![]() I now have a fair amount of stock which won't run on modern track. I feel an old fashioned railway coming! Cheers Graham |

Looks interesting, what is the green and red loco? I have a spare controller if you need one Graham. |

Thanks for the offer but I think I'm alright for power. The red and green engine is an airfix kit of the City of Truro. Cheers Graham |

OK the plan for the new railway. 1) sell classic car - complete 2) clear garage - underway 3) Dismantle and move current railway 4) Start massive rebuild of current railway and add 'classic' railway to it. This is going to take a while - ideally I will never finish so I always have something to do. I know people say railways are never finished but I get bored with little modifications after a while and tend to throw the thing away and start again. The current railway is the 9th. Cheers Graham |

Sound very interesting, apart from sorting out the garage. I agree you can only go so far with modifications that's one of the reasons I started the N layout. Start a new thread and please give us updates. ![]() |
