Ann says "that it is her son that is into model trains and that he has an old Hornby set that was past onto him from his Grandfather. Ann's father has just given him some track that he has had for a long time, and we wondered if it is worth restoring it and if we can collect anymore tracks and parts for it - I dont know if you can identify it for me, i will attached the pictures of it just in case."
Here are the pictures "One piece has a stamped mark on it "trade mark GERMANY" and all the other pieces have a stamp that just says "GB PATENT. Any ideas? thanks ANN"
Please leave a comment if you can help Ann - thanks
The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Fowler 4F is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed for medium freight work. They represent the ultimate development of Midland Railway's six coupled tender engines.
The 4F was based on the 197-strong Midland Railway 3835 Class of 1911, with only a few modifications, primarily the adoption of left-hand drive in favour of right-hand drive. They originally had been designed by Henry Fowler, who from 1925 became CME of the LMS.
Midland Railway locomotives were notorious for their short axle-box bearings, which were prone to overheating. Why this poor design feature was perpetuated is a complete mystery but, unfortunately, the LMS 4F inherited it.
The LMS constructed 530 of the locomotives between 1923 and 1928, numbered sequentially from where the Midland engines left off from 4027. A further 45 examples were reluctantly authorised by William Stanier in 1937 at the behest of the operating department.
Last weekend was the Barrow Hill Roundhouse Steam Gala with a number of top class steam engines in attendance. First of all there was the new engine 60163 Tornado which was attending its first gala along with two A4's Sir Nigel Gresley and Union of South Africa. There were a number of other engines that were under steam and the turntable in the roundhouse was also demonstrated and in fact used to bring an engine out to do some demonstration runs. The event seemed to be attended by many hundred of steam fans and families and a great day out was had by all.

If you are into collecting model trains, there are many important things and ideas you should remember to make sure your collection would be made up of the best items there are. There are numerous brands and models of model trains in the market, and you would surely find it hard and confusing to decide which particular item or brand to take.
If you are into buying and collecting model trains, the first concern you should face is how you could buy good items that are worth including in your collection. Good trains not only look good and extra valuable. They are also durable and are logically expected to last longer, if not a lifetime.
Every collector surely aims to find and collect the best model trains sold across the market. Here are several simple guidelines that would help you find good model trains in the market.
- Ask for advice or recommendations from your peers and from other model train collectors. They would surely have tips and recommendations about the retailers or distributors that are selling good and durable model trains.
- Know what you like and set your own standards before looking out for model trains in the market. You would save a considerable amount of time and effort if you know what features to look for prior to going to the store to buy your model train.
- Brands often give away quality expectations. There are specific and popular brands that are known to bring about quality and good model trains. Buying unpopular brands is more of a test and is highly risky. Unknown brands are often remaining unheard of because people are not satisfied about their features or they are not known to impress consumers.
- Often, price tags give out clues regarding the quality of the items. Premium prices often indicate good and high quality. Likewise, cheap model trains are often inferior and are not reliable and durable enough to last some time.
