Looks nice. Wonder how they were allowed to bypass the old yellow front regulations?

Be patient. These do occasionally come for sale secondhand. You have just missed a pair of them that sold with Elaines Trains for £12, so don't go spending silly money on them. Is a matter of patience.

Is fascinating, especially when it brings personal memories of the past. But yes. The sight of massive loads with locos working hard with teaincrew doing all they can to keep them going!... Impressive!

I am so glad! I thought it would be the answer. Opens up the possibilities...

Nice...!.

I bought one but I have not tried it yet. It is a very handy piece of kit. Just look after those coils so do not have the coils energized for too long at a time. But yes. One of those tools that if one has other modellers nearby who also need their magnets strengthening, it is worth the long term ...

Not sure. They should be available. But have you considered buying a re-magnetizer instead which can be used on many makes and types of magnets? (I do not know if these are still being made, but if they are, they will be a good long term investment if they are still made).

Sometimes a move gives a new opportunity, so don't give up hope!

They were built between 1906 and 1910 by the London South Western Railway (LSWR) and lasted until 1956/7 when the last one's were withdrawn.

I meant the models.

I know it is a silly question but where does one buy wood these days now that builders merchants don't seem to sell it?
