On this page you can see some of the locos that I am probably best known for!.
My first loco was a Nellie, in an RS24 set. I have to thank my late uncle for it - he bought me a Tri-ang Puff Puff loco for my Christmas present in 1963, I already had one and so, my parents exchanged it for the afore mentioned set. I still have the original Nellie and (re-painted) wagons, but sadly no box!

The loco that started it all, my 1963 Nellie, a bit worn but still running. | A better condition standard Nellie No. 7. | A very early example with original style lining. |
 |  |  |
A big display of 0-4-0s at TCS show in Biggleswade. | Same show - note the later clockwork sets at the rear. | More from the same show. |
 |  |  |
A 'standard' Connie, No.6. | A 'standard' Polly, No.9. | Green No.27 but with plated version wheels. |
 |  |  |
Original black version with embossed BR logo. | Later version with transfer version of BR logo. | Cheap version for sets without logo. |
 |  |  |
Later 7178 version with gold lining and plated wheels. | 7178 again but with yellow lining and non plated wheels. | An Australian finished Nellie - note the different lining and style of 6. |
 |  |  |
25550 with small dome and non plated wheels. | Another 25550 with silver dome and plated wheels. | Proof that the dome was removed and repositioned after the chrome domed version was made! |
 |  |  |
Connie in blue, she was advertised in blue and yellow. | Factory error of No.9 on blue Nellie. I also have one with original namplates. | Later blue loco, incorrectly named Polly that appears to be factory fitted. |
 |  |  |
Another error, No.6 named Nellie. | Another incorrect No.6, this time red and Polly! | 6 Wheeled! I found this one with a Mainline class 03 chassis - its a very good fit. |
 |  |  |
This was the end of Nellie - she became a push along toy for a few years. Note the missing detail. | A few of the push along versions. | Wild West version of the Top Tank loco. |
