Reply to "Buy anything cool lately?"

I bought another streamlined steam locomotive, this time from England. Manufactured by Ace Trains, London, it's an "O" Gauge "Coronation" Pacific loco and tender. 

All metal construction, 21.5" long, flywheel drive, custom-made gearbox, all wheels flanged, detailed cab back-head with firebox glow (see last photo attached), operates on 0-20V DC, working front lights, radii down to 27". Doesn't smoke—if you look down through the chimney, you see the tracks below. Of course, I'm displaying all my trains, not running them.
 
I bought this used, from The Stationmaster's Rooms, in England. See their offerings at https://thestationmastersrooms.co.uk
 
My most expensive acquisition ever—$1700, because of the exchange rate at the time between the dollar and the British Pound. There's currently another one for sale there, for even more. See link, if still available:
 
The box is a very thick, hard card stock, with photo and descriptive history on on the inside top—see photos:
