Coronations, Castles and Steeples

Have to (ashamed to?) admit I've never seen those double ties before.  Seems to me it would limit layout flexibility (but probably speeds set up for simple loops).

Nice lot of tinplate Hornby accessories there as well, thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a great crowd and some great trains....

Didn't hear any talk about a football game. Is that

why all of you were getting along ? 

Naw... It was just the trains....

David:

What wonderful equipment! Thank you for sharing the video.

No Vera Lynn, Deltic's... Greengrass(Claude)!

Just joking me son; I like seeing international O. Sounds like a decent gathering.

Cheers,

Rick

David:

Are the Coronation Class and Castle Class locomotives ACE models?

Thank you,

Bob

Hi David,

I'm sure you will enjoy my website at www.lewrail.jalbum.net.  If you are a member of the HRCA you may have seen my articles under the non de plume of The Hornby Yank.  Would certainly enjoy hearing from you.

Bob,

Yes they are. Darstaed also produce a Castle which I understand uses the same casting.

All the best
