Anyone who did collect this collection don't be shy to share ya.

Long story for this one...
Last week have trip at KL, go in Popular book store...
Saw many Issue 1 display there, and really cheap RM9.90...
Think twice I already here, and this is historical locomotive,
and it really cheap, if I dun buy I sure are fool.
So.....
Anyway juz buy 1 issue, I don't think I will continue buying,
cuz really not very interest this. LOL~
Have a detail look for this one, QC is a good. Enjoy guys.

i agree. generally good qc for the plastic OO gauge model... but detailing could be better. my personal dislike of this collection is because it is limited to british locomotives... and you'll come across many similar models throughout the collection. imho it would be more attractive if it included some modern locomotives... like the shinkansen, tgv, amtraks.

Ya, agree with u.
Hope more collector share their collection and info here.
Cuz I juz a starter, not really collector at all, haha...

looks like allscript make wrong decision to bring this collection in?

Ya for sure.
This collection already come out months pass still got many Issue 1 at book store,
it mean less collector care about this collection.
So this thread gonna be real cold start from now...

the "problem" as i see it is:

(i) limited exposure (only BRITISH locomotives);
(ii) space constraint (the size of the OO gauge can be pretty huge); and
(iii) it's an all plastic model (for the size and price, can't expect diecast).

dunno how long the magazine is going to run for, honestly.

48 issues in total

hehehe... i wonder whether allscript will decide to reduce the number of issues seeing how this collection has not had much demand.

Ya, the most popular collection juz give less issues,
unpopular collection give it full issues...
What a plan AllScript...
Hope they do the right decision on collection issue.

Totally agree with you

totally agree with you too

up to issue#5...

#1: 1938: class 'a4' no.4468 mallard
#2: 1938: class 8p 'duchess' no. 6220 coronation
#3: 1923: class 'a3' no. 4472 flying scotsman
#4: 1918: churchward '2800' class no. 2861
#5: 1934: class 'v' no. 928 stowe

hello everyone

just visit allscript office last week and i just got myself issue 3 (not really interest with issue 1 or 2, although the price very nice )

they already have issue 5, and surprisingly issue 5 also have big card, just like the issue 1...

here are some pictures that i take, sorry for my blur pictures
(not a good photographer and shaky hand )


and if anyone is curious


well, this is my first issue for this collection, and it could be last as well...
i not really know much about train, and i myself prefer steam train (some modern trains are quite nice too )
unless if this train can move, can add on more at the back of the train

i was hoping for the big boy when i know this train series last time but after i read the title, i don't think it will be trains from other countries

nice pics!

i bought issue 1 and within 15mins after reaching home the loco was dismantled by my sons... now considered broken into few pieces. probably they were trying to make it move like the actual HO scale locos i have in my collection

i am happy with the previous helicopter collection. not interested with the current trains from allscript due to the details on them and also since i am running the actual HO scale ones at home

thanks

for this collection, the wheels cannot move, only for display...
luckily it just the issue 1, the cheapest one i think it will be plenty of stocks for now

but this collection may not good for u since u already have better collection

this collection only limited to british locos and hence the oo gauge. but yeah... if you're already having ho gauge models, these amercoms would definitely pale in comparison with regard to both details and workmanship. the collection isn't exactly cheap either... so yeah, don't think it'll last all 48 issues.

the only problem i have right now setting up and running the actual HO scale locos is space

i think it wont survive till issues 48
