now how many bullied pacifics do you have?

7 in total;

35027 'Port Line' (Rebuilt Merchant Navy)
35028 'Clan Line' (Rebuilt Merchant Navy)
34027 'Taw Valley' (Rebuilt West Country)
34051 'Winston Churchill' (Battle of Britain)
34067 'Tangmere' (Battle of Britain)
34081 '92 Squadron' (Battle of Britain)
34092 'City of Wells' (West Country)

WOW I thought 2 was too many
(Blackmoor Vale 21C123)
(Tangmere 34067)

That's no good, you need a rebuilt one, the Hornby rebuilt light pacifics are the best model of the lot, even though they are the most expensive.

No, buy every bullied pacific you can't have too many

anyhoo yeh rebuilt light pacifics are the best of the lot

Quality is better than quantity, I only have 2, Blackmoor Vale, and Battle of Britain, Sir Archibald Sinclair, with 5,250 gallon tender, but they are unique appart from Blackmoor vale which of course there are quite a few of.

Dan's are unique to many renamed, and changed so they also have a unique value too.

just imagine having all 30 preserved BoB and WC line up together along with the 11 MNs too. what a sight

[mattmay05]

I don't have to imagine i know someone who has. Streamlined and rebuilt versions of each

[Pedanticmongrel]

I know this guy two, if he is the chap i think Matt's on about, and tbh i think it's overkill, as Matt said quality, not quantity, my plan was to have 4 working bullieds to represent 4 different types, (rebuilt MN, rebuilt WC, WC with cut down tender, BoB with high sided tender) as my 35028 is old it is now on static display and 35027 takes over that role and the 2 new ones were gifts so thats how I have them. If I had 30 of them I know I'd get sick of them, I'd rather have 30 locos of different types.

[mattmay05]

Yes its the guy who done my tender, think hes got over 60 bullied pacifics... hes just started a T9 fetish.. so see how many he ends up with of those, does a good job on all of his locos, mainly all heavily weathered.
