Well the Colletts have arrived, very nice model

Unfortunately this is the 147, I had ordered the 109, I have Emailed Ann Baverstock and she very helpfully is organising a replacement

but I thought you'd like to see it.

Lucky you, David. I haven't received my e mail from the NGS :'(

Hatton's pre-owned listed today 5 Minitrix Gresley coaches in maroon for £18 each (£15 ex-VAT). While I have a few Minitrix Mk 1s and think they are well made, I was unsure about the Gresleys. So I turned to this forum as a resource and after reading this thread http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=22516.0, I snapped them up as fast as I could.

Just emailed display@ngaugesociety.com with my name and membership number and had an almost instant reply from Ann Beaverstock with details of how to pay the balance etc.

Now paid and eagerly awaiting delivery.

Most grateful!

Nice coaches Matt. Those Minitrix teaks were years ahead of their time. You got a good price too.

Kind regards

Very nice!

I grew up in the North and therefore didn't see much network south traffic, but after watching plenty everard junction and berringer, I have grown to quite like the livery, which resulted in the pre-purchase of this which finally arrived in NZ this week!

I can tell my interest in the railway scene dwindled in the late 1980s 'cos what my memory says is a Scottish 47/7 looks plain wrong in NSE livery

Another maroon BR Mk1 SK for the collection. This time an Eastern Region example, E24538. I think the only BR region that isn't represented on my layout in some form is the North Eastern; I've got Western, Midland, Eastern, Southern and even one Scottish coach. I have it on good authority that this is a pretty accurate reflection of traffic seen in the area in the 1960s.
