Hi Swingcats,

Don't forget to look at the new Peco Collett. It's a bit pricy but has good detail and is already DCC chipped.

I too was a little disappointed with the GF Range but, in additiion to the RTR GWR locos have bought a GF King & Castle in BR Green which I intend to re-livery courtesy of Fox Transfers. Altogether with GF, Dapol and Peco I have put together a stable of 12 locos so far and GF are promising a Hall in 3 liveries later this year. I'll probabaly get 2 and re-number/re-name one of them.

The table below gives a full list of my current stable + plans for expansion.
