From Miniature to BIG

Well, how should I put this?  Should I say I decided to 'treat' myself to an early Christmas Present?  Should I mention that the items are beginning to disappear from the list due to the sale prices and I could miss my chance to get such bargains?  Or, should I just say I don't care I deserve it

Ah, hell I'll just tell you, I decided to add an A4 locomotive to the 'O' gauge models I've bought recently!  Which one did I get?  Well, there was little choice left of the 'named' models and as I couldn't find suppliers easily of name plates and numbering for this gauge I decided to plump for 'Mallard'.  I'm sure most of you train lovers will know this locomotive is probably as famous or even more so than the Flying Scotsman as it is the steam locomotive that set (and still to this day holds) the steam locomotive speed record of 125mph.  Not bad considering how long ago the record was set.  Like the A3 'Sunstar' I bought this is a beauty, I could ramble on, but I think I'll just let the pictures do the talking for me;
