Dear All,

I just love this locomotive........

I could sit and gaze at it for hours !!

I just love the history of it. To think the Coronation Scot train service only ran for three summers and two winters. I just wish we could see an original one running today.

All the best

I agree, I think some of the streamlined British locos including particularly the Coronation class, were among the most beautiful locos made, ever, anywhere. I also like the Gresley A4 Mallard: although its lines are not quite as flowing and balance in my opinion, it was really, really fast.

Where/who is a reliable US vendor for ACE?

Lee,

I understand Britannia Models in Canada are an Ace Trains Vendor. Or even John Hoover at Trains Hoover might be worth a try.

Also, Ace Trains themselves might be worth contacting.
