laalrattys new toy

Post by laalratty » Tue Dec 02, 2008 9:51 pm

Today my christmas present arrived, brought from Brandbright although the box came straight from Doncaster
Image
And here it is, well ok you are going to have to wait a bit for any pictures of it in the metal, but as you can see it is radio controlled by the latest 2.4GHz radio control (I would of brought a manual engine, but I would of had to wait untill May). First steaming is due for 25th of December, as its a christmas present and mum won't let me steam it beforehand.
Can you guess what it is yet? :lol:

Looking at the photos - I'd say a radio control shoebox! Unless there's a roundhouse loco lurking in there?? :P
