One of the bargains I've picked up on Ebay on my journey so far has been an LGB "Schoema" 0-4-0 shunter which cost me the price of an LGB Sound card, and came fitted with such and was already chipped. The front headlight has moved out of the lantern and I need to unscrew the body and replace it, but for now it's my first diesel with sound. It's got a really nice "engine turning over" sound on the start up sequence which I like. The video isn't the best - I think my camera doesn't do very good video under artificial light (previously it's all been daylight) but some experimentation will tell.
The still photos though are the usual excellent quality I have come to expect.
The first truck behind this is a Hartland Locomotive ore truck, followed by some LGB ore trucks.
This last one shows a couple of POLA figures that I bought. To me the figure on the right is thinking something along the lines of "will the boss finish speaking to his girlfriend/wife/ex about dinner/the kids/ alimony and we can all get a move on with the job and get out of the cold and into the warmth for a coffee".
nice! you did great in writing the story. enjoy! red diesel london
