Great work there, glad you got the models via their convoluted route.
I have just put my models up on eBay again so they are currently available.
Good to see that some are actually being built! I know I have models stashed away waiting for spare time (whatever that is) to build them.
I attach a photo I took of the preserved example of the class of loco in this set.
This is now on the East Lancashire Railway in 1950s condition.
She was built in 1895 as L&YR 1300, became 12322 under LMS ownership and 52322 under BR.
I have always thought that the L&Y was an underated railway, perhaps because it did not run into London. Under Barton Wright and Aspinal there was a great deal of work towards standardisation and it was said that there was disgust at Horwich works at the lax standards of workmanship that they found when the 1922 amalgamation occurred.
