re "O" gauge year of manufacture
The comments and link that wavytone provided,re my vintage"O" loco
are inncorrect,the picture in the link is not of the same loco,that is
a Hornby "Royal Scot",it has a tender.Mine is a tank loco,has no tender.
It was made in 1929,-reference-"The Hornby Gauge "O" System,by Chris and Julie Graebe
page 141,also the wavytone states that the loco mine was based on in
real life was not made untill 1933,this is further inncorrect,as my tank loco
was not based on any "true prototype" i.e,its a free lance design
by the manufacturer.
I am most suprised by wavytones reply. i hope this post is not deleated.
