You get it home and start to give it a polish and 'POOF' out pops the 'Steam Genie' 'Thank you for freeing me from my prison. I will now grant you one wish' He says. 'You may have any steam toy, from past or present, rare or common as your reward. The only rule is it must be a toy and not big enough to carry or pull you. (IE no 5 or 7 inch scale steam trains', He follows up with. What would you choose? At first I was thinking an early Marklin Gauge 1 loco but then I decided on a SR & RL #24 radio controlled loco from roundhouse MooseMan Bowman-Bryant SeaJay with the BM valveless engine please, genie! MTA Markie Burrell Crane Engine Mamodman123 I would choose the Hobbies SE4! Its a lovely engine! Manxman Early Bing Traction Engine (first Bing models date from about 1906). Lewis hobbies or mamod se4 or 1939 minor 2 twin cylinder tmuir MTA wrote: Markie Burrell Crane Engine I've just looked it up on the web. I've changed my mind I would want one of those.

Can't say I have jimbo! but good things come in small packages I would take any Early Mamod to be honest, so much choice though, not an easy question to answer I wouldn't take anything I could just go and buy in the shop tomorrow, like a le mans racer James that sounds wrong mm Titan I think it would have to be either a Basset-lowke or maybe something from Aster ! MTA Sorry to spoil the moment Titan, but apparently Aster's aren't great runners Roly Williams I think it would have to be something like this Marklin: http://uk.geocities.com/rolywilliams/888-1.jpg Drooooool... MTA BUGGER ME! Thats huge! Wallace 1 wish, I'd say the SE4 prototype I won't give my other options SPOKESMAN Roly Williams wrote: I think it would have to be something like this Marklin: http://uk.geocities.com/rolywilliams/888-1.jpg Drooooool... That was in the frontispeice of a small pocket steam guide I purchased a few years ago. The base plate unclips into two halves its so big! SPOKESMAN The only two models Id really like woulkd be either of the boats - Meteor or conqueror or a 1939 MM2. I have had 2 of them within my grasp onlyto be sniped or in the case of the Meteor scuppered by a greedy seller. sparky markie steam aswell any of tem there all nice Griffin Markie for me too, especially the Road Locomotive.

Indeed that's usually what happens Mike, pick yourself off and get a Meteor though In time the right opportunity will arise! tmuir Decided to drag this thread back up. Have a look through and let us know if the Genie has answered your wish yet or if you have changed your mind about what you want. I have changed my min I now want the Genie to give me a mint Bowman 234 loco with tender and track and of course a small amount of rolling stock for it. yosa I'd like the full Cyldon range. Oh go on then, the SE4 as well. tmuir yosa wrote: I'd like the full Cyldon range. Oh go on then, the SE4 as well. Sorry you get nothing. Genie said one steam engine only. yosa Genie is a humbug! sparky steamyjim i would like a gauge 1 cheddar models hercules or a markie ploughing engnie or a wilesco d32 MTA My Markie hasnt appeared under the christmas tree yet But apparently I have a Bond that is worth £1200, which I can claim when I turn 16 But I hear that Markie's arent renowned for good running So maybe lots of rare Mamods?
