the problem with collecting the pga wagons is that they sell for a lot now on ebay. you might get lucky though or find a job lot of them. i wouldn't pay more than 10 pounds for them as they are an older wagon, but others on ebay will bid more.

so i would probably just order the yeoman pta wagons if i were you because they will be high quality, but will be expensive. collecting 18 or so pga will be over 250 pounds as well though so both expensive options...

alternatively buy a few rtc vehicles and model a test train!  or recreate a charter train?


cheers

My cousin introduced me to this song. He and I lived in the bay area of California and we would travel to LA to visit one cousin and to Sacramento to vist another. He would bring his tape to play on the trip (yeah tapes) (oh sorry for the ancient again haha).

Oh yeah! awesome!!

Great to see the Peak looking so good..can't wait for the 45/46.

And slowly building up my small collection, i broke my cardinal rule as a stall holder the other night, being opposite a chap with some n guage stock....so I had to investigate
Picked up a farish class158...very nice for a pre bachmann model ,after wheel cleaning and lubricant runs beautifully....and only 30 pounds
Best bargain was the pair of weathered blue grey department mk1's..unboxed two pounds each.....i doubt I will be as lucky ever again.

a long way to go for a pee, I'm afraid, they usually just make it to outside the back door.

Some Skynyrd

For me too, the Beach Boys ticked my box more than the Beatles at the time. They inspired me to build myself a plywood surfboard that I tried out in the chilly waters of the west coast of British Columbia. Not the greatest !

RIP Brian, your music lives on.

Shame on you! She's one of the best comediennes* to come out of the NE. There are loads of YouTube clips but they'll all have swearing in them so I'll not post any.

* Yes, I'm unashamedly old school. An actor is male and an actress is female. A comedian is male.

Tim @Moonglum that Guru Guru track did nothing for me I'm afraid and @kusojiji that's the first time I've listened to anything by TDG in many a year.

There will be these

but depending on when you're modelling you may need the earlier Yeoman livery as shown on this page

If you do need the early ones the only option I know of is to buy these kits from the N Gauge Society (you need to be a member to do so) and use the appropriate transfers they also produce
