right heres a list of the 00 kettles in my collection.
MN Holland Afrika Line.....rare as f***
MN Clan Line
WC Bideford, a hornby bulleid of the old skool variety.
WC Biggin Hill, a right hodge podge of bits, airfix body, triang chassis.
Bachmann 4MT mogul
Bachmann LMS Ivatt tank, wanted the push-pull one but couldn't get it.
Mainline J72, weathered by moi.
Hornby collectors tanks=about 5 of the things. The little CR blue Caley pug has a rather decent scratchbuilt tender.
Hornby 1400, with the necessary autocoach.
Hornby Pug, bashed into a Peckett industrial thing
Toby, bit of fun, a ERTL diecast toy mounted on Tenshodo SPUD.
Hornby Terrier, Freshwater, the very first Hornby Terrier version.
Flying Scotsman, I actually have two of these but one is 3 rail.
A4 Bittern, first 2 rail engine. Blasted thing converted me from my 3 rail.
Triang 3F.
Hornby Pannier.
Hornby J94, crap, always needs cleaning. Heavily weathered by moi.
Smokey Joe (made an absolute point of getting one when I was 7)
Hornby N2, on loan to 960012, heavily weighted by latter, runs amazingly, not used much on the Ambridge branch, due to poor bunker first running.
the final one isn't mine (its dads), but its pretty treasured none the less. Its an old Brittania, Royal Star, and is allegedly the very last loco to be made at Margate. Obviously thats up for conjecture, but its nice to think it is! I believe it is, because when I took it out of the box to look at (run) it, it was AWFULLY put together, I had to go over it tightening everything up but it runs really well now. We keep it mint boxed.
My Swedish collection is as follows (we're onto HO scale now btw)
T21 shunter, huge jackshaft thing thats a repaint from a German loco. Runs superbly. Piko.
Z14, this is a dodge freelance thing. Basically a Triang Dock Authority painted in SJ livery and mounted on a Tenshodo Spud.
K, lovely little quaint 0-6-0 tender engine, with 4 wheel tender. Rivarossi French loco hacked about a bit and painted black.
Da, big jackshaft electric loco. Fleischmann, blummin rare, worth about £500 but bought for 85
.
Z67, Fleischmann hydraulic shunter repainted.
Y6, resin bodied railbus, pending completion (made the trailer car, have yet to paint power car)
Items of interest:
Radley models Acton Shuttle, 00 gauge. The first kit I've made that actually runs well.
O gauge Rivarossi 0-8-0 shunter. Huge, blummin huge.
O gauge Peckett by Springside, crap, built by me.
O gauge Drewy railcar, pending completion!
00 gauge 2-8-2 live steam. Needs overhaul. for now...crap.
Hornby swallow 225, excellent.
5" metrovick
7 1/4" box.
don't ask me to go into the Hornby Dublo please!!
can you see why i don't buy ready to run anymore?
, maybe your OO fleet? Appears that we are all most OO gauge modelers anyway, but its good to see some N around.
