Parallel boiler Stanier 2-6-4T ?
Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:18:39 +0100
Just looking at Hornby's latest product sheet and there's a picture of what
they describe as a "Stanier 2-6-4T" with parallel boiler and early emblem

built with parallel boilers?

GWR Track Plans?
Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:46:51 GMT
Hi all,
After a long period away from railway modelling I succumbed to the urge
again and bought a pristine Hornby Jubilee Edition Albert Hall Set
recently, still wrapped from the factory. The bug is itching and I have
followed that initial purchase with some additional track and a Flying
Scotsman set, just ...
