Another Mainline 56xx from eBay in excellent nick, this time in early British Railways livery, ideal for my proposed branch line engine shed layout. These old Mainline models are a bit noisy but nicely detailed and inexpensive, which means I can afford to weather them up without worrying about over cooking the final finish.
After thirty or more years I'm returning to model railways, a hobby that I started as a kid back in the late 70's but abandoned for more exciting teenage pursuits a few years later. Things have changed a lot over the years, so I'm re-discovering model railway design, construction and operation all over again. I'm planning to build a minimal space shunting layout in OO gauge, starting out small and working out what I'm doing very much as I go along!
A handsome little engine. Nice find.
