@Don McErlean posted:Fatman - Great loco...I note Brimtoy used a "Marx like" trick. Making the loco look like it had 6 drivers and a complex rod system while hiding your standard 4 wheel motor out of sight. Marx did that with many of his locos, especially the 1998 switcher series and the E-7 series. Beautiful lithography and a handsome find.
Jamie Thompson : I had not heard of the Ron Fox tinplate line before or that they were associated with Hornby. I was really interested in your mention of the HRCAA...that sounds like a group interested in operating and collecting Hornby. I am a (very) small but enthusiastic Hornby fan and was wondering if you had any information on that group and if membership might be possible for a "new guy".

Hi Don
The HRCAA is the Australian chapter of the English HRCA. If you like Hornby it may pay to join both as the HRCAA has its own monthly Journal as well. You also get the bonus of articles about Australian brands such as Robilt and Ferris.
Cheers
