From Miniature to BIG

I know its been a while since I posted any new items, but that's purely because I've been very busy.  I will soon be putting up some new stuff including some pretty unusual models as well as some familiar types with different liveries that I've obtained lately.

But to keep you interested here's a rather cool and large wagon I recently got, this is actually a Rivarossi model (they are owned by Hornby these days), but is a fairly recent release.  It is also HO gauge as opposed to OO, however being as big as it is this will not look out of place behind an OO gauge locomotive - doubly so as I have 4 of these beauties.  It is like most models coming out of Hornby and their satellite companies pretty highly detailed and even includes 'sprung' buffers - something I've seen on locomotives in recent years, but a first for a wagon!

Anyway here's the pics, the last one includes a ruler to illustrate the length of this lovely model;
