I agree with Maz066 - I'd love some of the old broad gauge locos. The one in his pic looks like a Hawthorn class with 6' driving wheels. The one I'd really like (also a 2-4-0) but can't find a pic of on the internet is similar but with 7' driving wheels and straight boiler (plus dome), the A37 class, 2 of which were built 1888, withdrawn in 1892 to be converted to standard gauge but that never happened so scrapped 1894 (according to my book, that is). Such a shame

Other than that, hows about a Crampton?

It was the GWR Broad Gauge that got me intrested in model railways, oddly enough. I was looking for the Iron Duke, an old battleship (I think, not sure I ever found it) and came across the Broad Gauge Iron Duke and was 'smitten.' Track gauge, though - nothing seems to fit very well. (I suspect Richard Johnson could get some manufactured;) but there wouldn't exactly be a great demand for it)
