Ok, well following on from my recent additions here's a few more, the first is a GWR 0-6-0 steamer, pretty much like a 'Duck' I guess
I've never owned one up till now for some reason, but I'm glad to have finally added this one which is in lovely condition. Again its not a new model, instead its one from a set sold during 1980-81 (37 years old, who would believe it ), there are also pictures of the wagons that came with it;
Next up is a 0-4-0 tank steam engine, this is depicted as a LSWR locomotive. This is probably the same model that UCEWPN mentioned he had a couple of. A very popular model which Hornby has published in various liveries over the years and still does to this day. This particular one is a fairly recent vingtage being of chinese manufacture, although I don't know the actual year as I've not looked it up yet. For reference you can tell the newer Chinese models as they have blackened and more fine drive rods on the driving wheels as well as other little detail tweaks
You'll also see a few new wagons as well which came with it as a little bundle including the Hornby limited edition 1997 wagon (they do one every year) this time in the form of a tanker...

Happily collecting things all my life...
