OO- A HORNBY Diesel Engine on Order.

Hi...Last night I ordered a HORNBY Bo-Bo Diesel model. I like the Diesel as it has a great color scheme of Blue and Yellow- it appears to be a very neat and tidy model without any damage or missing parts. It has the older style HORNBY couplers which suits my needs. I get a bit of a thrill from ordering - especially from Australia as I know the model won't take long to arrive in the post. The Bo-Bo Diesel was at a good price of $95...when you'd expect to pay upwards towards $300 for a recent new similar model.


That is my news for Monday morning. Best Wishes. KEV.

OO- More HORNBY Houses on View.

 Hi...Thought to show some more of my HORNBY Buildings - the Houses of TILBERRY.

Overview of the Village of TILBERRY.

This House has a very interesting roof and window arrangement.

By far the smallest HORNBY House is the 'Alms House'.

The 'Cresent House' - a medium sized Building.

By far one of the largest Houses from the HORNBY 'Skaledale' range.

Well- that is my short update for Saturday.
Stay well my Friends. Cheers. KEV.

OO- The COW Paddock for Farm.

Hi...I've added a Cow Paddock to Mr Brown's Farm - the Cows will keep the village of TILBERRY in milk, cream and butter.

I painted up the Cows as Jersey Cows- very pleased.
Not many Cows as they are expensive models.

Farmer Brown now has his Sheep and Cows to tend.

Best Wishes. KEV.

OO - Langley COWS on order from England.

Hi....I've ordered some four Langley COWS on eBay from England. Roughly each COW costs about $8 each which is pretty expensive- however the COWS are what I want for my TILBERRY Layout.


 In other news I've been trying to make a short Video of my model railway to post on U-Tube...however without success....I guess I need to read my NIKON Instruction Booklet to work out how to find the video I've taken of the Layout to eventually place the video onto U-Tube.

Stay well my Friends. Cheers. KEV.

OO- Another GUARDS Van on order.

 Hi....Yesterday evening I ordered a Tri-ang Guards Van. The Guards Van model will need a thorough clean- probably by brushing then washing under warm water- I may need to spray paint the Van Roof as it looks a bit discolored - I'll probably use a light grey paint.

The Guards Van will do nicely for my M7 Southern O-4-4T Hornby Engine.
My other Guards Van is grey in color which I use for my E2 Engine.

Best Wishes. KEV.
