You have a battery loco Mr.Bond?
Nope, I made it for a friend's birthday. I bought the kit when I was younger. It is now all black with red buffer beams and a BR crest running on my friend's 'line' which he hasn't built yet. The MSS loco I am trying to get running is also his.
Mr B HATES battery locos
Sorry but I do I am afraid. My line is an only steam line. I do see their advantages but just HATE them all the same.

I do love steam engines (except the price) but battery locos are good 'cos they are cheap (ie i can afford them). Steam engines are best though :D :D

I don't think it's evil AT ALL and I think you're all exceptionally cruel to him, and his owner!
