RTR locos of 1830 to1850

Saw this today on ebay

I'm old, that's why I'm allowed to change my mind, when I can find it.

Cheers Bittern
That is one nice early loco I will be following this auction closely Lost out on the last one got pipped at the post but this one is something else
Thanks for spotting that I've been a bit busy lately and Havant been keeping an eye on the auction sites
Had to put the layout on hold as it looks like we've sold the house so the layout will have to wait until we move into the new place (hopefully with more room to play with)

By the way I forgot to tell you that I managed to get a copy of the magazine and the model of the Rocket, the coach should be able to be re wheeled quite easily but the gem is the tender. This is the classic early design which I can used as a master to mould others for the locos with non period tenders so thanks for the tip

The Broad Gauge Society has some early GWR locomotive kits and lots of rolling stock kits. An 8' single on broad gauge track would just get in to the time range.
