lewrail posted:The two tone job in the lower right corner is the Hornby 2509 Silver Link, made during the late 1930s. It came with a tender and a two car articulated passenger train. The tank loco in the NW corner is definitely a Hornby M-3. Not sure about the others particularly the guy in the middle with what appears to be a French coupling on the front. Lew Schneider
About the Hornby M-3, I have yet to find one online with the type of front coupling that this one has. I have searched for weeks now, and nothing quite like it has come up. A far-fetched idea of mine was that it was a prototype, and that could explain it's solid creme color. But that is unlikely, so I will keep searching.
