Errmmmm... NO!

Latest haul from Ally Pally today...

Received another Hattons package yesterday, just 2 days after an earlier one arrived, yet they were ordered 8 days apart.

The photos below show my latest purchases in the order they have been received and include a – Farish grey class 37 "Saltire", Dapol sliding door Ferry wagon, Farish green weathered centre headboard class 37, Dapol blue weathered class 52.

Latest order also included some Setrack & Streamline points which need fitting to the layout.

I went to the model show in Sheffield and bought several items today for my Fisherlea layout:

Farish FGW HST trailer guards standard to make up a FGW "Barbie" 2+2 set.

and Farish Bulleid CK and Mk1 BSK as part of a plan to represent a loco-hauled Southern Region passenger steam formation in July 1967 (once I've applied the yellow first class stripes above the windows on the CK)

Bought a couple of old Farish Pullman Brake ends second hand from KGB models to go with my rake of Farish Mk1 Pullman coaches on preorder (could be some time before I get them though)

Received Brake ends today - nice condition apart from a bit of slightly dodgy repainting of the cream panels and a wrongly fitted but, fortunately, loose roof. Paintwork corrected with the aid of a sharp point and roof refitted. Well pleased with the results and very pleased with the service from KGB - I shall be using them again no doubt.

The colours on this pic are not very representative of the actual models (thank god)

A visit to my local modelling emporium for a dynamis probox at a very reasonable price (£96.05) resulted in a couple of completely unplanned purchases spotted in the 2nd hand cabinet....

I had considered adding one to my shopping list before leaving but current economics dictated I should forego that extra expense, however for the bargain price of £55 I couldn't resist! It's a little stuttery but closer investigation shows the wheels are filthy! a good clean and I expect it to be a super little runner.

And next to it, looking forlorn and unloved...

For £45. This is a great little runner, and he has some playmates already... (gratuitous shot of my growing collection of gronks, and no, I haven't got enough!

)

I will be eating grass for the next month at least but it's worth it

I've run out of grass now and I'm on to the weeds. What we suffer for our hobby ehh!

I hear they have improved a lot since they changed their name from NKVD (Specialist in all things electrical)

Why don't you pair sell the grass and weed to buy food, or better still more models ?

Not really I wouldn't want to see you in jail.

Hi all
I just received 60feet of ID backscenes which I purchased from AJM railways.
She has an ebay site which is where I found her but also runs a UK site. Great service and she custom mirrored the scenes for me so they match up. Icely
Just have to get them stuck up on the wall
Also a 31 in blue and some CCT's may have also sneezed into the train room

Bought this little beauty yesterday at Ally Pally off the Dapol stand. Run it in this morning, very pleased.
