    4709 - 47XX CLASS - Didcot Railway Centre

    Churchward's last great masterpiece, the 47XX mixed traffic 2-8-0, is among the most iconic locomotives ever produced for the Great Western Railway. Only nine of these huge locomotives were built, primarily for fast overnight freight work, earning them the nickname 'Night Owls'.

    Ironically the heyday for the class only came in the post-nationalisation years when the potential of these locomotives for use on heavy Summer Saturday passenger trains was recognised. In recognition of this they were turned out in fully lined BR passenger green livery.

    None of the class survived, but over the years many people have expressed a desire to see a 47XX 2-8-0 in action again.

    4709 is a new member of the class, which is being built using a mixture of new parts and others recycled from former Barry scrapyard locomotives. The Great Western Society project really began in 2012 with the cutting of new mainframe plates. The frames were duly assembled at Llangollen, and in August 2020 were transported to the premises of Leaky Finders at Hele, near Exeter, where the rolling chassis is to be assembled.

    LEGO 4720 Knockturn Alley Vintage 2003 Harry Potter MISB New


    This fun Harry Potter set from 2003 builds a medium-sized gloomy looking shop and a chimney that Harry falls down.

    It also includes Harry in normal clothes and Lucius Malfoy with an awesome pinstriped suit in addition to a disembodied hand, a brain, some spiders, and other creepy things.

    The buildings go well with other scary-looking buildings.

    The parts are definitely the best part of this set and the Minifig torsos also allow for greater possibilities when making other minifigs.

    This is a hard-to-find 209 piece discontinued set.
