My Latest Aquisition

This is a 'must have', Having a bit of a thing for J94's and growing up and around these little work horses, It only seems reasonable that I should have couple around my layout (3 in fact, and one put away at my local model railway emporium)
            Well take a look at this little beauty, How could I not have this one?

The Original is preserved on The Foxfield Light Railway. So goodie I don't have to weather it....



 Considering that the model was produced in 2007 the attention to detail is pretty good but the couplings have to go...I think I will have to consider some brass lamp irons for the rear...

    New toy? I remember one on display by the parade ground at Longmoor in the early 70’s there was another loco “gazelle” I think and “Gordon” was in the sidings at Liss, oh happy days. What would I give for a time machine! I feel a Google coming up. (I was going to put a smutty remark here)

    We should be full of envy as Derek Downer used to be in the LMR workshops...
