All things, Katzenjammer!
It all started when their cover of Land of Confusion by Genesis popped up on YouTube.
I just love their whimsical performance video with very basic but highly effective animated additions. Oh, and that amazing cat-faced contrabass balilaika named Akerø! ;D

@Adam1701D will I am sure confirm (or otherwise) but it was my understanding that all the liveries promoted for the Gresley BG and refurbished buffet will be produced, in fact as far as the buffet is concerned they have added BR maroon variants to those initially announced.

Hi Roy - that is correct. We are producing all the advertised versions of the Gresley BG and Buffet.

The Stanier Suburbans will probably be released in batches, with the most popular coming out first.

I know we're in a different country and all that, but we had a similar occurrence a while back. A fairly battered looking car appeared in our road and stayed there for more than a week. We reported it to the council as an abandoned car. They presumably looked up the owner on the DVLA website and contacted them because a man turned up the next day and drove it away.

Presumably, as the pickup is for sale, there are contact details. Have you thought of contacting them and saying if you don't move it I will let your tyres down...?

Cheers,

Chris

Quote from: Bealman on February 13, 2019, 10:09:46 PMThanks, Dave! Don't think I'll be going down that route, though. As soon as I saw the word "purchase" it put me off - especially as Mrs Bealman is already paying for Netflix.

Thanks all the same though!  :thumbsup:

Sorry Steven B .
the 9 Black with Red bands are Esso but with with yellow over the bogies like the green tankers . i bought them second hand with no boxes years ago and the All black one recently of off Ebay again no box so I dont know the part numbers, and I think I will keep them as they are . I cant  put photos on I am one of several members who haven't managed to post pictures on the main Forum .
I dont really mind to be honest as I am a real true RULE ONE MAN if I like something ,I buy it if I have the cash at the time,and I run it on my layout .
I allways tell visitors that before they come and if they dont like seeing a Pendolino on the Up line and a GWR Twin Railcar on the down line then the door to the shed is in the corner and close it and the gate on your way out .
So far only a Father and Son were disgusted with my layout and stock and even the shed itself as like most railway sheds its NOT PRISTINE and there is NO central heating .They were the type of modellers where even the people had to have the correct clothes for the period they were modelling .I love my railway and its there for me to  have fun and enjoy with my friends .
