Dave couldn't resist the temptation of putting some of the new vehicles together and slapping some paint on them!
This is the T54/55 with a first coat on, needs the tracks next and some detailing:

And then the traction engine, which has gone together really nicely. After a bit of debate, Dave opted for a green and red combo on this one:

You were talking about ebay the other day I think you ought to look to selling the traction engines on ebay and other vehicles suitable for N guage model railways. With a suitable price hike - You will see from the link they are selling traction engines for £12.60. That is for a single unpainted model.

Nice traction engine...I dont know much about them , but ones I have seen always seemed to have some sort of large flywheel near the drivers compartment...Or are there different types?
Great tank 8).
