It’s Saturday morning down at the docks as Jeremy, Richard and James inspect ‘Lord of the Isles’ which has just arrived with some fancy coaches in tow.
Jeremy is hugely impressed with the large battering ram on the front and the chunky front bogie whilst thinking ‘we’ll have some fun with that crashing into things’. Richard meanwhile loves the huge shiny brass dome and the gigantic driving wheel. He loves huge shiny brass domes and gigantic driving wheels, and has built up quite a collection over the years, he even employs staff these days to polish his many domes.
Meanwhile James is looking forward to seeing what first class is like, for he loves to travel in style ‘on the cushions’ imagining what it must have been like being a posh Victorian explorer like Phileas Fogg having a grand tour of globe in decadent style and comfort.
It’s believed that Triang based their popular 1961 trainset on the loco and coaches here, paying particular attention to the huge battering ram on the front and the big shiny dome seen here.
