When I last had a car, which was more than 30 years ago, my favourite listening was "Battleship Chains" by the Georgia Satellites.

That might be true if I knew what I was looking for: I have no idea what the push-pull gear would look like as a separate spare part!

I've told the story why the colour change happened.

The work experience guy used his initiative and ordered Blue and Yellow to mix together to make green, but when he came back as a permanent he saw the result.  :no:

Quote from: Yet_Another on April 14, 2026, 01:58:18 PMAs others have said, the EoI is just a survey, really.

Yes, I've assumed that Dapol have used the EOI process both to assess demand and to build a mailing list to invite orders when production starts. By expressing an interest you've committed yourself to nothing and I doubt Dapol have retained any lists of precisely what each person expressed an interest in - just the aggregate numbers which allowed them to make the decision to go ahead with production.

Quote from: madchadbrad on April 10, 2026, 11:30:17 AMMaybe this from Peter's Spares?
EBay.uk item #314587589414
I asked "Peter" of Peter's Spares fame and all he said was that all the items pictured on eBay are included in the item.
Which doesn't tell me whether the Push-pull apparatus is part of the selection!
Not very helpful I'm afraid.
Well... The link shows as invalid, but...
Look at the picture;
Is the Push-pull gear in the picture?
If yes, it's included in the selection. If no, it's Not included in the selection.

Seems perfectly clear to me...  :confused1:

There's less and less which tempts me these days, so my wallet remains largely unscathed! A couple of 66s and the FSA/FTAs this year, and I must put deposits down for some Electrostars, but I don't think there's much else out there!
