Quote from: EtchedPixels on April 15, 2026, 09:29:17 PMThe tube stock looks great but I have absolutely no reason for that although I do have the matching 05 shunter.

I admit to buying the tube stock purely for the memories.
It will, however, hopefully create a stir if I run it on our club layout at any shows we get invited to :)

So far it's been a fairly cheap year including landing some half price (ie sensibly priced) virgin mark 2 stock at last.

Baby Deltic is tempting but I have a rather nice kit built one, and the other stuff I'd want is all stuff I already have in some older form that will do just fine.

Thanks so much, folks. There's a ways to go yet, but your encouragement is certainly helping!! :beers: (It looks like Guinness in those glasses, but is actually VB) :D

Huzzah! What excellent news! I've been so worried, and I've never even met you! We at Papyrus Junction wish you all the best and hope you continue to make good progress. I hope Mrs B. is improving too.

Cheers,

If I'm brutally honest, it's not only a strange shade of green but also a slightly strange shade of blue...

It does look somewhat dark :hmmm:

Ordered yesterday from Model Railways Direct and delivered lunchtime today. What great service from both :claphappy:

Set of 3 Rapido SECR 7 plank wagons so I now have a full train of 5 planks, 7 planks, covered vans and a 6 wheeled brake
These really are superb little models and at £13 per wagon in the sale it would have been rude not to. Bad news for anyone else - it was the last pack
