    Hi Ian
    the Classic mainline J72
    I have 2 main line and 2 Bachmann ones great little engines.
    The Mainline J72 was one of my first trains purchased with my own money when it was released new it took me weeks and weeks of pocket money then a little LNER green one was mine, then every two weeks I saved enough to get a single mainline wagon they were$4.95 - $5.95 back then. And I still have every one I ever got
    We lived what was considered back then a fair way from the main local business center so every second week a family trip was done to the big shopping centre for me the toy/hobby shop was the only shop in the centre a beeline was made and I would get another wagon.

    Thanks for the memory jog were good times
    Enjoy your new purchases will look forward to the photos when they arrive.

    Hi Chris thanks for that evocative memory, I never had a train set as a kid, too busy helping on the farm but my mate had a Tri-ang set and later I was into Dinky army trucks (probably why I joined up). Getting the odd newbie engine encourages me to get on with my layout.

    Cheers Ian

    I like to keep up the suspense ... or as the other 5/8ths calls it 'shopping and doing the chores' still hopefully I can get the engine shed planted this morning (she's nipping out to the international club for coffee and gossip) before footie n beer this afternoon.

    I see you've got it sorted then... A recliner and a little table for your drink! Nice...as long as the earthquake doesn't spill it!

    Nice to see progress on your layout.

    Cheers

    Because you may be wondering why the track is a bit near the engine shed it's because of the restricted width 25cm and the points I have available
