The L&B stock suits Linda's loading gauge.

She really does look good hauling stock of the same loading gauge, that is the main problem with our scale: wagons/coaches too small for the locos pulling them.

It is such a shame Roundhouse won't be producing Linda/Blanche/Charles from the end of the year. I shall have to build a DJB one I suppose!

Beautiful

I really do love those Roundhouse Penrhyn Hunslets; why oh why are they withdrawing them so soon?

Not yet, I'm very carefully planning the route as the part of the garden where it will go is on a slope!

I also cant wait to get mine. Long wait though, i dont get mine till January

MoelygestLR · Post by **MoelygestLR** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 12:34 am

I get mine in novemeber and only ordered it about 3 weeks ago

Seeing as they are the same price at most places, I shopped around and found that Glendale Junction had 2 on the November batch so I quickly secured its future to the MGLR, after being told by everywhere else that it would be january!

Not trying to rub it in, just some advice for next time!

Yes, i fell in love with these locos back in 1999. Or first FR train was hauled by Linda (with her sharp exhausts). Had to wait 10 years to get one in 16mm!! Would like one in black also!

Just like me then, but in 1998 I think

I can always the remember her struggling out of Porthmadoc with a load of coaches, and I was sat in the Obs., watching her trying to fit grip on the damp rails! Lots of steam, wheelspin, and noise!
