Cool. A little bit of a hybrid, then

One day I need to find myself a nice classic German engine. Problem is my eyes are inevitably drawn to the ones that I can in no way afford

some of lizzies and glenns collection (if this works) [img]

this pic is no longer current. at the time of joining this was some of our display. i had a few restorables in the back shed and we had 30 models coming in from all over the world. this was a fact we didnt want to share at joining! since then we have sold quite a few! we no longer feel the need to have so many "just to get to know the model" this forum offers a wealth of knowledge almost to as far as saying.( in theory of course) "try it before you buy it"

no we dont have a pic they are scattered across a 16ft by 4ft tressle table and are being setup in scenes. we hope in months to come (with the help of other members) to shoot a dvd. try as we can weve had no luck with uploading small vids on photo bucket or you tube even after paying their fees. we have dialup but soon will upgrade to broadband.anyway we would like to complete some projects before showing them. when we have a dvd we will be sending a copy to key forum members who can copy it and pass it on on  our behalf.a 10min vid wouldnt do justice to our project.

Even if the pictures are out of date, that is a fine looking collection.
