Ah, got him. My eBay fu was failing me! I keep an eye on Farish 66s, as they're always useful to have if they're going cheap, but hadn't spotted those because he has the whole loco number in the listing.

A 37 in BR blue needs numbering and a full rake of HEA Hopper's (not all in shot):



I won't be sharing everything else that turned up this week as to be honest, I'm slightly embarrassed at the volume of stuff!

Egad! There's several walletsful there :goggleeyes:

Ah, thankfully this rake came from a fellow forum member and he looked after me on price!  :beers:

However, the other cough100+cough were eye-wateringly at pretty much RRP.  :-[

Honestly... this is an addiction. If the postman enters the drive empty handed, I shout at him!  :smiley-laughing:

Whilst in the process of purchasing various branded wagons for a project I stumbled across some Dapol silver bullets (the weathered versions) and just couldn't resist. Let's face it, with lockdown equalling virtually no petrol being used, no going out for brekkie, brunch, lunch etc I am actually saving money every month. IMHO these are the most exquisite wagons made by Dapol and, even though I hate Rule 1 (sorry to those who operate with it) and I have nothing remotely correct era wise to pull them, well, here they are having ariived from Model Railways Direct today.......

They are great wagons, some of my favourites. A few of mine derail sporadically though, which is really annoying.

Here is a lovely Bubble car, which is a special edition from DCC Supplies.


The best livery for a Bubble car, from my point of view.

3 items this week.
One - a couple of NGS mermaids built, painted and decalled for me by member Paul Cheffus. Many thanks, Paul.



Two - following the revelation I'd bought 4 Dapol weathered bullets from Models Railways Direct I was offered some more at a very fair price by member class37025, along with a Farish 'Alcan' branded PCA for my 'Branded wagons' project. I got a Brucie Bonus in that there were 2 of them.
Thank you, Alan! When the skies lighten (if they do without lightning) I'll do a short vid of a 'bullet train' :)



Three - a swap with member dickydcc to get a Farish conflat with Birds Eye containers, again for my 'Branded wagons' project. Thank you, Rich.

Very pleased with my 31, 37 and rare as rocking horse sh*te 37 in coal sector livery! Love that:



37 coal sector is Scottish but I'll renumber and make an exception, I love the coal livery.
