Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:03:00 -0400
I'm looking for a replacement for my ageing Hornby tender-drive LNER Sir
Nigel Gresley. Can anyone give me an opinion on the Bachmann 31-952
"Mallard", which is the heritage NRM edition with valances, double

that it has a split-chassis lo ...

My sortie into Hornby DCC
Sat, 10 Oct 2009 04:47:20 -0700 (PDT)
Having scrapped my DC system due to a combination of inability to
expand and a "request" from my wifelike person for her go at the

which could provide me with some space and a guest bedroom. This of
course dictated the construction of another bath ...

Fixed stop signal?
Thu, 1 Oct 2009 06:47:14 -0700 (PDT)

will enter ...

Re: Hornby LMS Brake Van R6079U

catalogue.
