That's got to be worth £200+ in the current market (i.e. EBay)

Why?

1. It's Union Mills
2. A rare non-black prototype
3. Mint in box
4. DCC fitted

Don't settle for less.

2.47 in. I think I'll stick to the Kraftwerk version, though

I have to agree, love the model railway reference, but as a huge Kraftwerk fan, this rendition just made my ears bleed.

I'm reminded of a joke my wife told me "What happens when you throw a Yukulele out of a plane?....... Who cares :) "

Quick head's up to those US modellers who want any UK or European models.

News as of 17 Jan 5pm UK time.

As of 1 February, Trump is adding an additional 10% tariff to any country (UK, France, Denmark, etc) who stands in his way to defend Greenland from its independence.

Having family members who include people who sought asylum from Albania (and were granted it) when the Americans brought down the state in 1990 you are very very wrong about that.

You'd get better benefits, better food and better accommodation by throwing a brick through a police station window.

Quote from: Webbo on January 17, 2026, 07:09:43 AMMaybe I shouldn't bother with renewing my Oz passport even though I've lived here more than half my life. But, almost certainly, the Australian Government will soon introduce some new rule that requires me to have an Australian, Canadian, and Glaswegian passport for me to go where I want to go (and to get back into Australia on my return).


I didn't think you needed a Glaswegian passport, they just talk Rab C Nesbitt at you and check if you understand  :D

I managed to let my passport expire just whilst buying a house and as I don't drive (so no driving licence) that really did make the house buying a bit more exciting than intended and I had to get it renewed to deal with the idiot know your customer stuff.

Union Mills stuff goes for stupid money for some reason so you are in luck on that one.

Unfortunately I've just bought a house instead :beers:

I'm curious if this group would be interested.

I had a 6-pin decoder installed. She's run-in only, and has very little additional track time.

I have other N Gauge locos (dapol and Graham Farish) but I've not been around for a while to have a grasp of the current market.
