Mick Bayliss Model for sale, My loco collection
LMS (ex Caledonian Railway) Dugald Drummond 294 class (Jumbo) 0-6-0 no. 17324. A recent purchase from Ebay that I just could not resist. Built from scratch by Bob Jamieson. I am always hesitant about buying on-line, unseen, but the photos and description of this model, and the fact that I had bought from the vendor before gave me confidence that it would be good…..and it certainly is. Even the paint, (before arrival I had said to myself that if the paint is poor I can have it repainted in Caley blue) is too good to strip. I am a great admirer of the late Peter Cowlings coaches, and buy them whenever I can. I have a 5 coach set of ex Caley coaches in LMS fully lined crimson lake livery, that are a perfect match for this Jumbo. Happy days.
Post photo addition, the loco power classification “2” has been added to the cab sides just below the lamp iron, using methfix transfers. Also the dodgy looking “LMS” transfer on the left hand cabside has been replaced, again using methfix.
