New Locomotives and rolling stock
A kind man Mr Sam Taylor of Kingston upon Thames
sent me a e mail asking if i would like his old
Hornby Dublo layout from the 1950's as he was
clearing his loft out and was moving overseas. So
on Saturday we left Coventry for Kingston not
quite knowing what to expect. We were given the
Duchess of Montrose train set' A N2 Tank engine
and a Bristol Castle locomotive all in nice
condition. There was also boxes of track, wagons
coaches plus a few accessories Dublo and other
makes. A few drops of oil and the Bristol Castle
moved for the first time in over 45 years, The
Duchess and the N2 Tank were both missing there
armatures, pickups and wireing. The N2 will stay
a rolling chassis so it can be used to double
head and The Duchess will be restored back to
it's former glory. We think this will have to be
the end of what we can fit on the layout as all
of the sidings are full.

inspiration!
I'm just getting out my 3 rail train I had as a
youth in the late 60s. I'm hoping it will still
work, its not been run for 40 odd years. My
twins age 6 have their first electric train set
this xmas and I'm setting up a 4 track set to run
around the loft, 2 using peco 2 rail and 2 using
the hornby. Progress is slow as time is limited
and and the difficulty of arranging the fiddle
yards and sidings for 2 different systems is a
pain. However your photos have inspired me to
get on with it.
Thank You
