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

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