I've just started back into model trains after a break of many years. Majority of my stuff is US prototype with the exception of a couple of UK locos.

HO loco roster:

PCM N&W Y6b 2-8-8-2
Proto Pennsy USRA Y3 2-8-8-2
BLI N&W J600
BLI N&W J611 with sound
BLI NH I-5 hybrid with sound
BLI C&O T-1 2-10-4
Spectrum 2 truck Class B Climax
Model Power D&RG 2-8-0 (same as the VR V class)
Bachmann Southern 0-6-0T.

N scale:

I haven't done an accurate head count but it's roughly 50 UP diesels, 400 wagons and 30 pass cars + heaps of other stuff. Ah. The Kato Eurostar set is in there too along with a couple of Farish UK steamers.

They're pretty little things aren't they.

Oh, excuse me, you are indeed correct. They look rather similar when far off.

I do like the J72s also, but still prefer the terriers.

Especially when you consider the little British tank is to a larger scale the US locomotives.

It,s been awhile since I brought a locomotive, Actually I found this one on Ebay just for fun. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150289386275&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=005

It,s gonna look strange to see a Collingwood Locomotive to be charge of VR cars like BS, N class or K class or even B,AW sem cars.
Also this loco has KDs so there no mucking around with this one.

Ohh for all collingwood supporters who wants one of these locomotives, there is only one left so you need to hurry, for $40 includes delivery that a good price

Here is the straight link to it.

That's a good point, too, since it's OO... Shocked The Yanks certainly didn't do things by half, did they! Laughing

The thing that amazes me is just how big the N&W Js are.
The Y3 and Y6 are 114' 10 1/2" long. The 4-8-4 J is only 5 foot shorter at 109' 2".

In HO, that translates to 16.2" (42cm) for the Y6 and 15.8" (40.5cm) for the J.

Puts our VR locos to shame, then! Laughing But for the 4-8-4 to be only 5ft shorter than the Y3 and Y6, either the J was truly enormous, which it is of course, and/or the Mallets did a really good job at space saving with the "dual power-bogies"...

Amazing machines though, would love to see not only the 1:1 loco at full clip, but the HO scale models would be something else, too! Very Happy

My Two LLoyds AN's made a debut on my layout today..

AN5 in PN* livery and AN3 in Ghan colours.



Both AN's are dummy's so they can run with my NR fleet. They both have the standerd mashima moter inside and C class bogies.. The decals were custom made Very Happy

Cheers Adam
