Ron You deserve a medal. Do you allow paid visitors - just to smell the ozone?

I thought I had a similar space but my wife insisted on moving !

Could you do a video clip of your Pre-War & Post-War "Sir Nigel Gresley" Loco's. No. 7 and No. 4498 and see which is faster (due to different valve gear). I have a 4498 but not a No.7.

Dear Ron, Is your Southern Goods Van for sale? Is it Boxed? It's about the only item I don't have. There hasn't been one for sale on ebay for over a year. Take a look at my Hornby Dublo video clips. My YouTube member name is powerbuilt2008.

Very impressive display, particularly of the older tin printed stock and the varied N2 liveries.
