(...) Very nice Mark! I remember having a HO model of that loco when I was a kid (probably Hornby), you've captured the colouring and details really well. And the logo is great - instantly recognisable! ROSCO (20 years ago, 2-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) <snip> Very nice, Mark. Big! :-d~~ I have a question about the scale. It appears to be 8 wide, which would imply to me to be more like 6.4mm:1ft. Are you going solely by track gauge for scaling, or width of the loco? I would guess that that (...) (20 years ago, 2-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Here's a new British loco in 8mm:1ft scale. It is 50033 "Glorious" in memory of the real engine of that name being shut up in Swindon (UK) STEAM museum, fully serviceable but unable to run - what a shame! Still, you can go and see it without finding (...) (20 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.loc.uk, FTX) !

Doug, You are right! I couldn't find 65537 listed at BrickBros either. But it should also be pointed out that this is a hard set to try and locate anywhere on the internet. I did some searching for it on google, and most e-tailers selling LEGO don't (...) (20 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) That is a screaming deal. Thanks. I'm curious as to why 4561 isn't highly regarded. I guess I'm more looking for a basic set up (motor, tracks and some basic parts) and then intend on creating my own train. I agree that the more recent Super (...)
