This one arrived with my delivery of bits and pieces from the N'tastic shop:

Not sure how I'm going to explain it on the layout, but there must be a local quarry that needs it...

it just rolled down the hill into the siding. No one has come to claim it yet.

If you hold your ear to it, can you hear a ticking sound?

Thanks Luke, it shows the two clips different on the paperwork with the kit. It's no big deal for me but for someone who is possibly just starting it would have been a instant short.

Managed to get my hands on this... Seems to be sold out just about everywhere. Now I'm just waiting for my Mk3s to complete the set!

Well done! I am thoroughly envious.

I don't suppose the source had another three or so lying around did they?

Think I'll leave getting one until 2914 then as it will give me a chance to save up

Just given in and spent some of my 2016 pocket money on the Dapol A3 special offer 'Gladiateur' at £80 with only 5 hours left to go.
Bread and water from now on I think!

Snapped up the Osborn's exclusive Western Enterprise in desert sand from ebay. Woo!

Yes, hopefully they still have a few laying around. Have a look at their web shop: http://www.geedee-modelshop.com/detail.asp?fldLowStocks=2&ProductID=16409&SubCategoryID=764

Isn't Graham Farish doing a 87 in BR Blue and Intercity liveries?

crewearpley40 · January 11, 2015, 08:53:17 PM

Summary of latest purchases from various sources...

A Dapol Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T - the second one, the first had to go back as it was a probably the worst runner I've ever had...

A Farish rebuilt 'Merchant Navy'

Some coaching stock - first an SLF to go with the SLSTP bought before Christmas for the 'Overnight Sleeper'

- a Stanier TK for the inter-regional train in the mid-50s era

- a Mark 1 CK for set 874

Nice

Still undecided about the Dapol Ivatt as I'd like to replace my Minitrix one but don't want a lemon, and my local emporium doesn't stock Dapol stuff at all $:-\$
