Top 10: 1st place (The big 25th)
The best loco in my fleet goes to the D11 by Bachmann.
Theres nothing to fault here. Runs and pulls like a dream. Build quality is amazing .
Plus its such a carecterful 4-4-0, so chunky.
And it looks lovely with my matching A5

The bachmann C1 251
Whats not to love here? Atlantics are probably the most elegant locos around and especially in gnr green.
Amazing how much smaller they are then their eventual replacements

An A3 at 3
Not much to say here. This is from an era when Hornby were producing great quality models for a fraction of what todays offerings cost.
Plus Scotsman just looks so handsome like this.

Top 10: Day 22 (4th place)
The WD 2-8-0 ... or i guess in this guise an NS4300
Now this loco isnt the most detailed or quietest/smoothest loco but it does something many locos dont. It makes me smile and enjoy running it. Isnt that the whole point of models?

Top 10: In 9th place we have the class 33 by Heljan. Ive been rather dubious of heljan products but after picking this up my perception has changed .
Its a quiet and smooth runner, will pull anything i aak of it. Only downside is it is a pretty basic model

Top 10 and were in the final stretch.
In 10th place we have the Sonic Models A5 in GCR green.
A astonishingly good looking loco that runs great whrn it wants to. Problem is the springing on the back pony has always been bad causing in condtant derailments

The Bachmann A4 (and my fav A4) sir nigel gresley.
A decent model that needed some detailing works (painted buffers, drain cocks,lamps , etc)
I do love it but i might look into renaming a far superior hornby A4 (maybe the black one post overhaul?)
