Three parcels today, Two Minitrix Gresley teaks, 10 mini switches, and 3 bags of Meldon Quarry ballast; the switches will get used first so I can do some wiring to allow more extended test running. Once I'm satisfied with the running then I can use the ballast, Meldon quarry being the obvious source for an SR based layout, just hope 750gm - 3 bags - is enough!
The teaks along with 2 others I already have will form part of a cross country service from/to York & Newcastle, alternating with SR stock on alternate days, I've already got some Staniers for the Pines express, just need some Greasy Wet and Rusty for the Birkenhead service. Could do with a full brake from each company - in relevant grouping livery!
Just need to get the layout running now!!!
Lucky you I need a couple of teaks for a inter region working on my layout but just cant seem to find them at a reasonable price, I saw a Dapol one in a shop I visited over the weekend at £35 I nearly passed out

Hi Paul
Dapol have some of the teaks in stock on their website for £23 each.
Cheers, Mike
Cool I will have a look when I get home. I never thought of looking at their site though, how stupid am I
Rails of Sheffield have them at £20 preorder forthcoming release for teaks, and a few available in BR livery at £18:95

Thanks Mike finally got the laptop away from the Domestic Overlord so I might get chance to have a look before I am sent to bed :'(
