So far this year has seen another Peak, 64xx, 57xx, Britannia added to the fleet. Three of the new Halls, a BoB and a Mogul are also on the pre order list, so yes it will be a rather expensive year.

I've bought 1 book on a railway that I'm modelling, about a dozen wagons so far.
Most further spending in 2mm will be on plasticard , I have a lot of buildings to build of real prototypes.. spend so far £100 ISH, expected another £100 on that. Then when I decide how to do it that layout needs another £200, on building the off scene boards with track.

Then there an order sitting on this tablet, that will be ordered next week, to build something in 1.5mm. £280

Then some non expense, literally today  I've just inherited around another £100  of 4mm scale lorries.

With several items on the pre-order list the last thing I needed was to spend too much at the Newton Abbot toy and train fayre this morning.

Hmmmmmm........was this too much I wonder ?

I didn't realise the Dutch changed their minds a lot? I thought they just kept their finger in the dyke.

I've got both the Mogul and Manor down for Q4/2026. I hope so because I have 4 WC/BB to purchase!
