I got the email too, I scrolled as far as the 'King Edward V' and had to delete it before I followed any links!

Looks really neat, pulls as though it has ambitions for an 8F rating, Hornby made a lovely job of it...

Okay, okay you've convinced me. LOL.
I do have a believable excuse for buying one.
My Stanier Mogul is all by itself in a loco stock box with 2 empty compartments.

I guess the other compartment is for the forthcoming Hornby 78xxx.

Resisted temptation on the Stanier mogul - fine model though it is - because I already had the LMS design 2-6-0 that was a regular visitor, Ivatt's 4MT 'Mucky Duck', a few of which were allocated to BR(ER) Southern area. Properly mucky it is too.

I have yet another 'foreign' 2-6-0 on my KX inner sub area operation, one of the Doncaster constructed BR standard 4MT 2-6-0s with the BR1B tender 'on delivery' to BR(SR). As it is brand new ex-works it is in gleaming condition. This one is such a favourite that a point is stretched, and it is 'delivered' several times before it goes off scene; until the calendar is reset to start of my chosen modelling period, and I can look forward to seeing it working a few trains again.

(Both were offered at very competitive prices when purchased, so siort of qualify for a mention...)

Well, I paid more for mine than you'll have done and I still think it was a bargain! Awesome locomotive. To paraphrase Bigmet, it pulls like a train ...

£89.50 + £4 P&P.. muggins. Funnily enough just before Christmas they had a pre-owned one which had a missing buffer on the tender for £80 + P&P. I nearly bought that but decided not o in the end.

K1 arrived from Rails of Sheffield this morning. Just ran it up and down the layout a few times. It runs very well and is a nice looking model. I'm very pleased with it. I'm even more pleased now I've just noticed on Instagram that Hattons have it at a 'bargain' price of £99 which is £10 more than I paid. Need to get the 'running in' track assembled which is going to be a bit of a problem cos the wife is working from home and half the dining table is occupied by her works computer. Will take some pictures later.

Thanks for the offer Derrick.
It's okay I'll set it up on the floor.
Thanks again Pete.
