model trains
 

Anyone have 00 gauge model trains that they want to sell?,(locos and rolling stock) I have a hankering for Hornby, Lima, and Wrenn , just got into it with my 7 year old and he is mad keen to get going, drop me a line with what you have Thanks

Ps i knows its not steam but it's connected is it not ;)

E-bay can be a great place to look and find bargins in OO gauge.

Also, if you're not already using DCC, this is well worth a look into as there are many advantages - not leastly, original sound timed to the motion - brilliant!!

Best of luck

Thanks Mike, I have been picking over Ebay for a week now and I can get loads of stuff here in USA but its just not the same, ya just cant beat a 4 4 0 southern,

For their size the ' Schools ' were about the best 4-4-0 in the world , but an NER ' R ' looked better and rode better .

I've seen them there Schools, why were they called so?

They were all named after English public schools

Excellent !

This thread make me want to dig my set out... its not seen the light of day for about a year or so... no room... :(

I have gone friggin mad on Ebay 26 locos in 4 days is fair goin, mostly Hornby, with 2 or 3 Lima's

Nice one!!! What engines did you get?

Just over an hour ago, 30926 Repton steamed past our lounge window. Very atmospheric in the dusk and brought back some happy memories of thousands of miles driving and firing it. Not nearly as light on her feet as many would have you believe, but more experience needed than for many other classes. She does like to sharpen her claws if you'll let her!

I bet it was cold for the crew in that open cab today - with the low tender and relatively short cab sides and roof, I can almost feel that cold Whitby wind wipping across the footplate??!!

Interestingly however, when Ivatt designed longer and more sheltered cabs for Stirling's Singles, the crews initially rejected them on the grounds that they were for 'softies,' such was their pride in the original design and their loyalty to Stirling!!

Can't say I'd necessarily agree - being a bit nesh myself!!

Well I've been busy...on December 18 I had no OO/HO stuff,, dropped a few quid and stimulated the eBay economy,

If you want some coach and wagon kits this is the site to get them from, (no connection with myself).
