RTR Models of Preserved Locomotives
 

I've decided that my layout is going to be of a preservation centre. Which (OO) models can I buy that represent locos that have been saved? I already know that theres the Crab from the ELR (42765), Princess Margaret Rose and the KWVRs Jinty (47279). Does anyone know of anymore?

Flying Scotsman? Evening Star? Didn't Hornby release a model of one of the preserved Schools?

Candian Pacific in blue by Hornby. The aforementioned company released a model of Candian Pacific in blue and a few eeeks later the owner sold it and it was repainted into a more authentic BR Lined Green :D :D I bet Hornby were not best pleased!!!

I can't believe I didn't think of Scotsman or Evening Star! The new Bachmann one looks excellent and it's had really good reviews. Still, for the price you'd expect it be! A blue Bullied would be good, just to add a bit of variety. I read in Heritage Railways model section that Bachmann are bringing out a new Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0, one version of which will be a preserved example, should be good becuase I like the Ivatts.
