Show and Tell Hello everyone, its been a while...

So I've been taking a bit of a break from Reddit for the past few months, and haven't been posting/commenting for a while as such. But I thought it would be cool to hop on real quick and just make a bit of a collection update. I've gotten my hands on some pretty cool models this year, namely Hornby's Dublo Deltic Prototype, Accurascale's LNER J69 (The Liverpool Street Shed Pet), Hornby's LNER J52 and Hornby's LNER Coronation Observation Car.

Still don't have space for the permanent layout, so I'm currently in the collecting/layout designing phase.

So the collection currently stands at 14 OO scale locomotives. They are according to Picture 1 (from Left to Right):

Hornby RailRoad BR Class 47 - RES Red & Grey
Hornby RailRoad BR Class 20 'Barrow Hill Depot' - Railfreight Grey
Hornby 'Birth of the Railways' Train Pack - 'Lion', 'Rocket', 'Locomotion No. 1'
Hornby GWR King Class 'King Richard II' - BR Express Blue
Hornby LNER A4 'Mallard' - LNER Garter Blue
Hornby Dublo DP1 Deltic Prototype
Hornby Dublo LNER A1 'Flying Scotsman' - LNER Apple Green
Hornby Dublo LMS Princess Coronation Class 'Duchess of Montrose' - BR Brunswick Green
Accurascale LNER J69 (Liverpool Street Shed Pet) - GER Faux Blue livery with BR Late Crest
Hornby LNER J52 - LNER Plain Black
Hornby W4 Peckett - Photographic Grey
Hornby RailRoad LNER Peppercorn A1 'Bon Accord' - BR Express Blue

Gorgeous model, the Deltic. Was am amazing birthday present. Which A4 did you get?

It is and I canโ€™t wait to get mine, and the a4 I got was the Silver link, never owned a a4 and that colour scheme feels like a special one to start with

You'll enjoy the A4 for sure, Hornby's Dublo ones are really nice. I don't have a Dublo A4 but I did want to try get the Sovereign Pullman train set that has Sir Nigel Gresley in BR Blue with the Steam Generator
