... along with a couple of small diesel shunters that I picked up, though being USA outline HO models they are remarkably similar to the Hornby class 04 little shunters I'm pretty fond of. The main difference with these are they have working lights both front and rear whereas the Hornby models don't have lights as standard. These were manufactured by Mantua and I managed to snag them at a very good price, both brand new and in sealed boxes - the inner poly packing even still had a cellophane seal over it Big Grin

Anyway here you go, first a picture of all three, then some closeups of the individual models, oh and I almost forgot, yes the light on the searchlight car is fully functional as well Big Grin That is made by 'Life Like' models of the USA, lovely wagon (although the box is all but destroyed), but I may give it a bit of a paint job as it looks a bit dull at the moment, even just a weathering wash would make it look 100% better Big Grin
