    Very nice indeed. :thumbs:

    There is something pretty about these small industrial locos, whether that be a 0-6-0 or 0-4-0, I just like them. (It's meant to read 'want one...') ;);)

    Cheers, Gary.

    The start of a very slippery slope Toto, but what better way to start sliding than with a great little loco. Very nice :thumbs:

    IXION started something O big with this loco then with the fowler

    With the off shoot company Minerva RTR O scale models also available it makes O scale really accessible.
    Have my eye on there on the next 0-6-0 tank Victory.
    Fingers crossed it will Arrive for the new plank competition railway.

    Minerva had a stand at Doncaster GOG trade show last weekend and they had a pre production example of the new 0-6-0( minus wheels unfortunatly,) and it looks very nice.

    If Toto starts mentioning ride on, then I'm off :avatar:

    Pity the Victory is not made by Dapol, with the amount of delays they seem to have, I would have a chance to save up for it :giggle:
