Sherman

[Tony fly fishing]

Morning all maybe you can give me additional information, I was thinking about buying this locomotive, 

For pulling 6 flat beds with 6 die cast sherman tanks,  seemly it's 10 years old needs a bit of oiling,would I be right or wrong

Possibly. Thats a Lord Nelson class I think, which would have been intended for passenger traffic, and its in its pre-war livery. During the war, big powerful locos like the Lord Nelsons may well have been put to work hauling tanks but I can't be certain (we might have a few WW2 aficionados on here who can confirm). I'd say by the time the Shermans appeared the Lord Nelsons would also have been in a plainer war-time black livery - do you intend to run it as is or would you be up for a re-paint?

Hi Tony.  

Is the Lord Nelson loco a Bachmann or Hornby Model?  The Hornby one is newer and will probably have more pulling power as well as being DCC ready.

Cheers

Might need a little TLC, but they are family straightforward, there isn't really a whole lot to go wrong with them.
