Besides, I have been wanting someone to produce a model of a 7F for years so I really have to buy one now that my wish has finally been granted.<br /><br />I am very much a Midland / LMS fan myself and it is a shame that they did not maintain joint control of the S&D, rather than it be handed over to the ruddy Western Region! It might still be here if they had. <br /><br />Anyway, I am sure that both the 4F and 3F will look great on your layout. The Tri-ang version of the 3F was, actually, my first ever loco as a kid so I will always have a fondness for those.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559047352074762826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865703496550202571.post-31589483169594549842011-01-31T14:33:48.018+00:002011-01-31T14:33:48.018+00:00Oh good for you!
