My interest in modelling is from the privatisation era onwards and most of my models reflect this. But lately I have been getting the urge to aquire 1, maybe 2 steam locomotives and suitable coaches, so I can run preserved steam day trips now and again.
I was hopeing some steam enthuisast would be able to tell me what loco's were common in the Cumbria region and the WCML in particular? The only one I know for certian is the LMS Princess Coronation class.
I know I could do loads of research myself, but it might be quicker posting this thread. I don't require any history details about them, just names, names, names!
Secondly, of the locomotives that you so kindly listed, which ones are available as RTR models, and what are their detail and running chracteristics. (as an analogy, are they a Hornby class 37 or a Hornby class 60?)
The final straw for me wanting a steam model was the pics of that new 9F...simply stunning.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...else I'll have to start wading through history myself.
