I believe this somewhat follows the code of conduct as it is not intended to steal purchases away from a Bachmann Market.

Dapol will introduce these dimunitive steamer locomotives this weekend in London. Knuckle couplers will be included.

They have a tungsten underframe and a 40:1 gear ratio so despite their tiny size can creep and pull four coaches. Now, that's the way to build things, IMHO! 8) 8)

Stepney is a real locomotive at the preserved Bluebell Railway in England, unfortunately currently out of services. Seehttp://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/loco_static.html (http://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/loco_static.html)
The Rev Awdrey wrote some stories featuring Stepney in the Railway Series books to publicize the Bluebell Railway. He was a keen supporter of Railway Preservation. The model may look different to the TV series (I don't know, I haven't seen it) but it is a model of the real locomotive that featured in the stories and is how "Stepney" was illustrated in the original book (which I had in my childhood).

GG's right,
Us interested in tornado sirens sometimes get lucky on E-Bay! We're talking an EOWS 618, you can hear that for miles! Anyway, that looks incredible, too bad I'm not an N-scaler; yet, but Z scale caught my attention, too bad I'm doing HO. I just can't afford Z...
