A great deal of running but not a lot of purchasing. I have only bought two engines since Winston Churchill. An additional Bo-Bo and I am waiting on a 2-6-4T renumbered as 80098. These were excellent value and could be used for spares but at the moment they are runners and running.

The problem is I am running out of space as I make it a rule that all runners are present on the layout and available to run whenever required. No storing  in boxes and getting them out when required – not my way of operating.

Perhaps an extension………………
