Yeah, mine's been going on and off all day on me mobile.

I think it's interference from the Adelaide test

And another update.

Rails are now offering duty paid delivery with both RM and DHL.

My Christmas present from my son and daughter in law arrived today. It's a Dapol CL68 and it was shipped via Royal Mail, no duties to pay at this end.

I've also placed an order on behalf of SWMBO for some Peco points and a box of Flex track, because of the size of the box it had to be shipped with DHL but according to the invoice that I just received from Rails, it is still shipping duty paid. That should arrive early in the new year, watch this space.

It looks like Rails are adding tariff charges of 10% for Peco stuff and 20% for Dapol and Farish, although for Dapol and Farish I'm sure that they should be adding 30%.

But I don't care as my pressie arrived without any issues.

Regards and Merry Christmas,

John P

A sad loss to those of us of a certain age who probably have the same albums

Yes,RIP.

I've got both those albums. I'll have to have a listen.

Sad to hear of the passing of guitarist Mick Abrahams (Jethro Tull, Blodwyn Pig). I would probably have first heard him on this...


On my battered copy of "Nice Enough to Eat".

RIP Mick.

Happy modelling in 2026!

Thanks for trying!  The Paypal account asked me to confirm a few things, then wait three days to become active.  It's still not active!  I'll have to call them and sort it out.
