PMW,I feel your pain, I pre ordered an engine almost a year ago which isn't expected until August.
I like that gondola. Same thing is on my list
Alrighty then. I got the cork roadbed from the local hobby shop AA Hobbies" for less than online because of shipping fees. He doesn't charge shipping fees, yay!!!!!!!
As i am collecting iconic fast trains of history i was hoping to snag an A4 Mallard (or A4 Seagull that replaced it.. both in fact) The mallard aparently still holds the not since beaten Steam speed record of 126 MPH / 203KPH.
I am also on the look out for an N scale A1 Flying Scotsman (the first to recordedly break the +100MPH speed).
Although i think i am all spent on trains for one month lol. Maybe next month
I think the A4s (seagul/mallard) were of the same primary design, not sure of what exactly the differences were.Graham Farish N gauge 372-351 LNER Mallard ClassA4 Garter Blue | eBay

As for an A1 Seagull, you may have to get the A1 Tornado and renumber it to Seagull, you can get the Seagull nameplate seperately.
.. which i certainly am not)

Those would certainly fit in your collection!

Apart from obviously the body styling the only real difference between an A1 and a A4 is boiler pressure, A1's were maxed at 180psi, A4's 220psi.I think the A4s (seagul/mallard) were of the same primary design, not sure of what exactly the differences were.
But i think the tornado was more like the flying scotsman (although there were many of them, but i mean the one that broke the 100mph record). If you mean that then that could pass? ..edit not sure now... (unless it is a scrupulous eye
It would be nice to have the whole AX set to be honest.
You should check out Marklin's website for N scale locomotives as well.I think the A4s (seagul/mallard) were of the same primary design, not sure of what exactly the differences were.

not sure if there's a N scale version, unfortunately it's in BR Green.
Ah i will, did not think Marklin made N only Z (at least the mini stuff under that branding), good to know. ThanksYou should check out Marklin's website for N scale locomotives as well.
They've just brought out a new DCC Scotsman, with sound and Lights, which no one else has done, Hornby is only DCC ready
Kato is also another brand you may want to look at too.Ah i will, did not think Marklin made N only Z (at least the mini stuff under that branding), good to know. Thanks
And Dapol, who make N Gauge A1/3/4
I forgot about Dapol, but as I'm not an N scalers I'm sure you'll forgive me.
I can hardly even see N Gauge these days!!!I forgot about Dapol, but as I'm not an N scalers I'm sure you'll forgive me.
@ Hutch. Do be aware typical US cork roadbed, particularly in N-scale--I'm referring to the roadbed cut by Midwest--might not be quite symmetrical in profile. One side might have a steeper angle cut "off" re: the centerline, which would make the other side have a smoother and shallower cut off the centerline. I, myself would use the shallower side--I would separate two sides and take the the two sides shallow cut sides more for use along the mainline and would swap them out for the steeper cut sections. I would use the more "crude," steeper sidewall cut sections along both sides of the roadbed section for sidings and spurs.
