Thanks much. I have really enjoyed the few runs that I have put on the mogul. The Great Western version was the only one to have inside eccentrics (as opposed to the outside eccentrics of the LNER and LMS versions). The last owner told me initially that there were 1,000 GWR models made in some combination of live steam, clockwork, and electric. He also commented that the GWR versions he has seen were the best runners of all of the moguls.

John,
Wait for the next round of film. Then there will be 3 of the coaches. After months of searching, I tracked down a second corridor-first class coach in the same livery. It should be leaving New Zealand within a few hours and be on its way to me...

The additional coach is here! I also managed to secure a locomotive that would have originally been sold with the coaches. In less than two weeks I should have in my hands a mid 1920s Bing for Bassett Lowke LNWR Precursor Tank. I should say that this loco is actually clockwork. I was bitten very hard by the clockwork bug last weekend...
