Yes, Bachmann bought them in 2001, since then they've become the biggest supplier of UK RTR N gauge in the UK.

Am i correct in thinking that the Class 37 is the last, still in use of the iconic "Deltic" shape?

Yes, in total there are 66 still in service, 3 are based here in Derby and we often see others here when they bring Aviation Fuel to the Rolls Royce siding.

I have finally given in. A black 9F has come up for sale £45.00 including p&p.
Seen it running and a Rule 1 purchase made.
Should be arriving soon. I have a rake of Consett Iron Co wagons for it.

I have put a down payment down on this, it will be out for my retirement.

I actually bought this last month but it arrived today...close enough https://lombardhobby.com/walthers-cornerstone-ho-933-3764-ashmore-hotel-kit/

The instructions are bigger than most kits I've built . This one's gonna take some time

If it's going to take you that long maybe you should start a thread about it and we can all follow along with the build.

Hmmm? That's an idea

I picked up a pair of Atlas Gold SD9s at a pretty good discount.

Among the things I purchased from a fellow modeler are several assembled older vehicles and some Jordan vehicle kits.

Looks huge and awesome!

I have a couple of old athearn Model A fords similar to your picture up there, they look tiny compared to other items on my layout. Do you think the scale on a lot of these vehicles is close to actual 1/87 in your opinion?

The 9F arrived yesterday; number 92221. I gave it a trip around the layout light engine. Later I shall hook up the Consett Iron Co. wagons.

I shall post pictures later. Meanwhile, the real things.

I'm adding some block detection and signal control to the classification yard.
I don't need the full size Digitrax boards so I'm using just the BD4N and the SE74. I have both of those on hand and sat down to install them yesterday. After dumping the BD4N out of the packaging, I realize it doesn't have a loconet connector. OK, back to the Digitrax forum to find out I need a little interface to go between the two items. Basically, it's a ribbon wire connection between the two. The BD4N is connected to the tracks for detection while the SE74 does all the talking on the loconet, I think. Should be interesting to see how these interface with my Train Controller Silver system.

Always a sucker for 10 coupled engines and 9F i count as one of the most handsome British steam locomotives.
