I've just popped into Kidlington to get some materials for a job, so whilst on the trading estate I popped into Howes Models. They don't do N gauge stuff, some 00, some 0 and a lot of RC vehicles, but they do sell a few second-hand bits.
I noticed a 'Minitrix Miniatures' 2-6-4 for sale in (I think) lined BR black, they were asking £39.95. Sorry I haven't got a pic, but went in without my phone. They also had a few N gauge coaches in the cabinet. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone was interested.
FYI they have some general bits and bobs, wire, brass rod/strip, plasticard, small switches, cork sheet etc.
Information ends, as you were.
:D
Hold on, brain freeze, or it may have been a Wren Micromodels one...
:hmmm:
There was no british N 2-6-4 by Minitrix, but yes there was the old Lima/Wrenn Micromodel - which I wouldn't pay £40 for as it was awful.
Maybe the OP meant the 2-6-2T by Minitrix ref 51 2040 00 :hmmm:
Nope, definitely 2-6-4, had a look at their website and it's a Wren.
:thumbsup:
one of these monstrosities?? :sick:

Nope, as previously stated, Wren.

If it says Wren on the box, then yes it is the Lima model inside...

Ahh... remember that nearly 40 years ago, only the Peco jubilee looked anything like the prototype!

Tee-hee.
:claphappy:
You ain't doin' so bad. By the time I get to (if it ever happens!) retirement, all you old beggars will have bled the country dry.
:veryangry:
I see no reason why we shouldn't. After all, we've put the blood into the country.
Anyway, you won't be able to do a thing about it as we'll all probably be playing trains in another world by then :nerner: :dighole: :D
