A new acquisition arrived this morning.
Most people would have seen the reviews or videos of the new loco launched by Heljan over the last few weeks of the Metropolitan BoBo. This at the moment comes in four guises but the particular version I really liked was the fourth one to be released which was ‘John Milton’.
All four versions differ slightly in their appearance with one of them in grey wartime livery, John Milton in my opinion looked the most attractive with extra detailing on handrails, red sides to the chassis frames and a few other extra details too.
After the initial wait for this to be released then it arrived on my desk at work this morning and when I opened it (well, I couldn’t resist waiting until I got home could I !? ) I wasn’t disappointed - another stunning model from Heljan.
I will write up further details on this when I have more time but in true blog tradition then I thought that this would be newsworthy and post this up as “Hot News” as of 15 minutes ago when it arrived - you can’t get newer than that!

She will look perfect trundling around the top level and pulling into the station above Lakeside Central, full of weary commuters rushing to catch another train to take them home.
ReplyDeleteI am so in the dark ages didn't and still don't know a great deal about blogs but I'm going to learn(I hope)as I cant post videos I might have to start a blog instead.
ReplyDeleteNever seen this train/trolley car before and I don't know anything about them but it looks very good, my Helljan class 33 had a trip to the wire cutters to remove the little steps as it would not go round my layout
A blog is a nice easy route into keeping an electronic diary for yourself as well as letting others know what you are doing to - just by the fact that you have managed to reply to this means that you are not in the dark ages - have a go in setting one up - it's good fun! ...........Graham
