Wooo Hoooo IP Lucy

Post by 90733 » Thu Oct 07, 2010 4:03 pm

Yep, thats right I've just bought a IP Engineering Lucy from Glendale Junction, for £79.96 :D :D The last one aswell I think, as they've just taken it of the website! Also got the 4wd Chain :D
And why it was soo cheap? Glendlke Junction have 20% off all IP stock, but there running out fast!

Also Lucy/Punch owners what are your general views? And any chance of a piccie of them?
:D
Thanks

Punch No 2 'Ethel' was actually the first loco I bought & built for my line. Its good for trundling around with a couple of small coaches/waggons.  Ive stuck a little velco to each side of the cab & one bit on the driver, so can swap him round when going in the other direction..

I think the fellow who made them called himself Middigate. They were around for two or three years, then disappeared. Theyre made of a heavy resin but you cant take the roof off to detail the interior, which is a shame. They sometimes pop up on ebay.
