Model Railway - What's your latest acquisition?

Have just ordered a full set of lovely machine milled valve gear for the O gauge princess coronation.  Cross heads slide bars next. Will have to pick a name sooner or later

A magnet or to be more accurate a pair of semi-circular-ish neomidium magnets to try and kick some life into my old Class 56 ringfield motor.

A pair of hearing aids fitted today, all the better to hear my sound locos with! Crikey, this keyboard doesn't half clack when I press the keys.

A good day at York Toy Fair. My purchases included -

A Hornby Dublo "Duchess of Atholl" and a 3 rail L30 Bo-Bo diesel, plus assorted coaches and wagons. Also some more 3 rail track. I have now been able to complete a LMS livery train set in original box.

Some more Triang TT track (type A and B enough now for a couple of layouts) and a few more coaches and wagons. Plus a spare mechanism for myTT  Merchant Navy.

Some Lynton & Barnstaple rolling stock in SR livery (3 coaches and a wagon) in OO9.

Hi LC&DR

I thought you'd be saving the pennies for all of these ' Merchants'

With your interest in Narrow Gauge, TT, OO and O will you be watching the YESTERDAY channel tonight at 2100 Timeshift  -  The Joy of (Train) Sets followed by Dan Snow at 2200  -  Locomotion??

You forgot Z, OOO, N, and HO too! And I have interests in a few 304 mm to 1 foot scale items of rolling stock.

Yes, I saw it first time on BBC about two years ago. Timeshift - Not a bad programme at all, sad to see Bob Symes and to recall now no longer with us. Some remarkable archive footage, and a good selection of commentators. How I wish I had Pete Waterman's resources, I would love to have a layout like his!

I am waiting to see what Merchant's Hornby are going to make. If the only ones will be the original ten in original condition as depicted in the CAD my collection is not likely to increase significantly. However I can't see them sticking at that.

I also pre-ordered a SR USA 0-6-0T yesterday from that well known model railway magazine and Cornish retailer.

New to the forum (So 1st post Yey!). Best thread for a first post as its where it all begins (Buying bits 'n' pieces).

So on Saturday I ordered the Virgin Pendolino R1155 to start my new layout with (I had the Eurostar when I was young but donated it to charity shop when I no lobger "played with it". 

I already had a bunch of track I bought second hand on eBay last year when I thought about getting backinto train sets. So yesterday the Pendolino arrived however after some playing about on the standard loop I decided to shuffle things about.

So as of last night I have a bundle of track on order with some little track accessories (Hydraulic buffers, signals etc). Also couldn't resist the "Last Chance" buy of the South Eastern "Sir Chris Hoy" Class 395 Javelin train pack R3185 so thats on its way also.

No now I'm just reading up on DCC and evaluating my options (As analogue setups are pretty limited).

Welcome to the forums. Lots of help on here if and when you need it.

Analogue, etc - Oh dear - that's red rag to a bull...

Where are you, WTD? You're really wanted on this one!
