I thought i'd do a collective photo, never done one before.
Just missed out on a complete m180 today, bloody wireless went tits up with 30 secs to go on the auction. Admittedly it went for a £1 more than i was about to bid, but the kids learnt a few new anglo saxon expletives during the process (whilst they were watching songs of praise  ).

Lovely collection MJ. The 101 certainly makes it's presence felt.
Nice to see

I didn't put alot of thought into the photo, just put it on the table, not a classic stucture to the photo 
M122 maybe, i do like bowmans. Could be a wormar, cyldon or mersey |

Its a nice photo! I can't fit all of mine into one, well not like that, i'll have to do flatbases then raised bases then se3's etc
You've given me ideas
LOL thats the roller! I remember the mashed boiler now . Mike you've done a great job saving that from SCRAP! Many people would have given up!

I'm sure they could teach you a few if they're at school.
I'm a bit puzzled by the Hobies in the bottom right hand corner. It looks as if one of them is just a boiler. Is that right or is it just the camera angle?

Sadly Roly, just the SE3 boiler & plate  You don't have the missing bits do you?
More of a holy grail to complete this one

'fraid not 
At least the boiler fittings seem to be all present and correct. All you need now is an engine Keep your eyes peeled.

Great collection mj. Now all you need is a few more mobiles.

Thanks for the comments, didn't realise i had so much 
There's a couple of 'to do' boxes in the garage. I'll have to get a decent condition roller aswell, the trashed sr1 has alot of missing bits not one of my best buys. |
