I know I’ve got quite a few engines now, but I couldn’t resist this LMS 2-6-4 Class 4P side tank. I have drawn the line now though – this will be my last loco purchase.

Today I went to the model railway exhibition run by the Mid Essex Model Railway Club in Shenfield. There were plenty of layouts to see, but it was quite busy so I didn’t get to take any pictures. However, there were also a few dealers’ stands. I managed to pick up three mineral wagons (two with limestone load) and a Shell fuel tanker for the collection:

On a recent visit to the National Railway Museum, I saw Mallard, the fastest steam engine on the planet. It would be nice to have a little one for my collection, I thought. Today I won an excellent example on eBay…
LNER 4-6-2 No. 4468 Mallard
A recent post mentioned how I was taken with the rather nice little Terrier locos I saw at an exhibition. Well today I finally sourced one for my collection, in OO scale. It’s in the livery of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway. The 0-6-8 side tank is No. 44 Fulham.
