Hi

Got back from a holiday away to find a lovely scratch down the wing of my car that had been left at home. £156 to sort it out.

Cheers

Paul

Since my post earlier I've had a further 2 marketing emails from Rails. That's now 16 since Saturday and 3 today! The unsubscribe button has been pressed.

To add a little more context to the OP's complaint - they asked us to delay shipping of their order as they were about to go on holiday.

As per the auto-reply on our general email (which I've realised you won't get if you use the contact form) I've also been on holiday. The packing team (by which I mean Ben and Simon) sent out a large stack of orders whilst I was away which I could only mark as despatched when I got back to a computer on Tuesday.

If you're sending an email and not getting a response (and we're not on leave) then please chase us as we normally reply same day (and have done for some time unless there's a backlog to answer like at the moment).

Cheers Mike

N Gauge Discussion / Class 31 snowplough fitting...
Last post by Michanglais - Yesterday at 02:14:31 PM
I'm trying to fit the provided snowploughs to a recently bought (new) Class 31. However, I'm not finding the instructions very clear - two arrows leading from the snowplough in the direction of the bufferbeam but, to what, I can't tell. I've looked on the model and can easily see the holes for brake pipes, etc. but I'm wondering whether I have to remove the bodyshell to get to the snowplough holes?

Three great tracks with Rod Stewart on vocal (before he discovered crooning to grannies was more lucrative). The first was later covered by Nazareth

Very influential on me Mark @Platy767 , my dad had two of their albums in the mid sixties which got a lot of play on our Dansette...



Ours was identical to this one.

Lani Hall (vocals) married Herb Alpert and is still performing. She also sang the James Bond theme "Never Say Never Again".

Sigh.

Sergio Mendes and Brasil'66.

Brings back wonderful memories of AM radio, 45s and of course, me mum!

Doesn't sound anything like AM radio now. (Actually remastered too hot)
