Quote from: port perran on Yesterday at 03:04:17 PMI've been building or, to be more accurate, bodging a station building this afternoon.

Listening to a music compilation of suggested tracks I came across Kristina Train and was rather taken by this :

Great voice! The video had me for a moment as I thought the actress was Inger Stevens, who was on Hang 'Em High with Clint Eastwood, but the is actually Catherine Deneuve.

I believe Jon Burman, JB's Model World (chev625 on ebay) also supplied Ten Commandments. I also use Jon's trays extensively and am in need of more. I too have not had a reply for some months now. I have been told he has some health troubles, so I hope everything is OK, but that's at least secondhand information,  so take it with a pinch of salt.

Hopefully they become available again, it would be a really sad loss if his products were to disappear; there's nothing else on the market that I am aware of that comes close in terms of value and flexibility. If he is thinking of retiring, I wonder if there is any possibility of selling the tooling, or letting another party manage manufacture and distribution on his behalf?

I was using John Burnham but my recent emails went unreplied.

I have seen Trainsporters but feel they are over engineered and overpriced.

I expressed interest in one each of the four liveries of full brakes and one of each livery of the rebuilt buffet (E versions).
And I've started saving my pennies!

Look on ebay and amazon for foam block with pre-cut cubes that you remove to create suitable slots.

I bought this a few months ago

Be as pedantic as you like Roy! It even says it on the side of the coach  Thanks for pointing that out, I've updated the article.

For years, I have successfully used the Ten Commandments N gauge foam storage slots with 4l Really Useful boxes (2x 9 slots can fit in one box) for my N gauge rolling stock.

However, Ten Commandments have been out of this for a long time, and, on e-mailing the proprietor, I now understand that the person who does the cutting may retire and that these may no longer be available.

Does anyone know of any good alternatives for a 4l Really Useful Box?
