Find yourself one of these UK clockwork engines, has forward and reverse drive, and a brake that can be tripped by trackside trips. Made by Bassett Lowke in the early 1930's and given away for coupons from smoking BDV cigs. 30,000 were made according to my book on Bassett Lowke. Powerfull 4-4-0 engine. Most all engines made by BL were available in Clockwork and several also came in electric and Live Steam. I am planning a mainly Clockwork and Live Steam tinplate layout but will be 3 rail track for my postwar Lionel to run on as well. Just put my name on a collection of really clean postwar that came in at the LHS. But its the Clockwork trains that really put a smile on my face. I am hoping to find a red/silver Hafner clockwork with bell ringer. I had a boxed set with that engine in my teens, sold it to buy more Lionel. Wish I had kept it now! Mike
