And traded some stuff with Greg so picked up a corris train
Not a bad haul I'd say :D

[Dr. Bond of the DVLR]

-cough- -splutter- Little Bits ?!??!?

[mhlr]

slag wagon?

Sounds good dunnit?!

[Narrow Minded]

A modest haul, cos times is 'ard (and I'm saving up!!!)

Some seated passengers from Modeltown to populate some coaches
Quarry style axleguards & wheelsets from IP for some scratchbuilding
A Binnie Tipper for an experiment
An assortment of little castings from Steve at B2B6 for a project (& "wife bribe")
A 2nd hand "waiter" (painted) for £2 from IMPs bargain bin for the dining coach
A bit of bling from Roundhouse to adorn the Lady Anne
Best of all - Compton Down Diesel Loco and 3 bogie flats (Thanks again Kes)!

Oh, and a "private" sign for the grounded coach body - that doesn't fit, so I'll have to find something else to put it on

What I didn't get

White dry transfers for lettering goods stock
First/Third/Guard in black & gold transfers for lettering passenger stock

Also traded some 009 bits with 90733 to go on "Ulthwaite" and a new layout

....To be sung to the tune of 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'


Twas a pleasure Greg - lovely to meet yourself and the other forumees I bumped into. The plastic planter tunnel is genius and will see action at Llechfan (sorry Mum, I'll get you another one!!)

I was chuffed to find a couple of sets of Coopercraft sign kits - which is what original Compton Down and other station signs made up from... so new signs for Llechfan now possible.

Oh and there was an engine which came back in the Land Rover too...

[laalratty]

And one or two other little bits...

Well I suppose I had better be fully honest....





Ermmm, yeah, using my 21st birthday money I bought an Accucraft Superior!
I have great plans for this loco, it is not going to stay maroon!

[Dr. Bond of the DVLR]

Ok, in that shot it does look quite nice, put it into dark blue with a white roof and I'll forgive you!!

[MuzTrem]

...put it into dark blue with a white roof and I'll forgive you!!

Somehow though I have a feeling that's not going to happen...I'm going to hazard a guess at either FfR green or prototypical Bowaters livery?

Great loco at any rate

...shut up. Especially about the WHITE ROOF
