I picked up my Trix Scotsman in December which made for a very expensive Christmas - but I'm worth it! What a machine and so good to have this loco in a proper scale with a correct gauge. There are a couple of things that don't look quite right, most noticeably to me the stack height, but it is sooooooooo smooth and beautifully finished. My pictures don't do it justice.

Here next to my repainted HO EMD 66. Both diecast bodied beasts!

There are not many of us trying to model the UK rail scene in HO scale. It is a sideline for me - I like all my models the same scale so my Scotsman will take turns alongside my NKP Hudson, Bavarian S3/6 and OBB 310. I have plans for some British HO coaches but that will take some time..........
