Nice selection of bits to keep you occupied there Pete!
Sad to hear that your local shop is closing, which one is it in case other forum want to head down and get a bargain?

It's Mikron Models, the last model shop in Taunton. You'd better hurry, though. They close their doors on 23 August. They're already out of a lot of track (*cough*  :-[ ) but there are still plenty of minor bargains to be had. A lot of wagons are down by about £1.50 each - Peco and Farish at £4.50-£6.00, and there are still some locos, although not necessarily that cheap. I liked the look of the LMS Ivatt 2-6-4T but it was still £85. Paints are not discounted at all...

Very nice buys, Marco :thumbsup:
I hope you're pleased with them as they are usually very good runners

:hellosign:
..at moment, the only troubling steamers I have...are a A4 Dapol (purchased at Hattons as pre-owned)...makin' a little crrrr-crrr-crrr :bounce:..on the reverse-clock sense...not from left to right.....and a Graham Farish B1 when starts..I think has loose traction tyres...the Dapol I think because I've never oiled it..
the rest...no trouble

Spend as little as possible on what you need so you can spend as much as possible on what you want.

Very nice. Always liked big American diesels.

Love the E units, now do you have some lovely heavyweight passenger cars to go with them :)

Just arrived from Robbie's Rolling Stock  :claphappy:



Very pleased with them, will have to ask if he can do some more brewery vans, Strongs, Brickwoods, Hall & Woodhouse, Eldridge Pope, Devenish & Groves spring to mind. Oh dear I've brought my thirst on  :beers:  Oh the bare board is the long awaited (by me) extension section, cheers for now.

I have a tight squeeze on my layout that does not allow such long cars to pass, so I'm passenger car-less.
