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!
