It all started when their cover of Land of Confusion by Genesis popped up on YouTube.
I just love their whimsical performance video with very basic but highly effective animated additions. Oh, and that amazing cat-faced contrabass balilaika named Akerø! ;D

Well, I don't know about that........but, having never heard of Katzenjammer, I had to look them up.

I've just listened to Demon Kitty Rag and A Bar in Amsterdam which, although not really my thing, are quite good fun.

It's always good to discover new music and artists.

@Adam1701D will I am sure confirm (or otherwise) but it was my understanding that all the liveries promoted for the Gresley BG and refurbished buffet will be produced, in fact as far as the buffet is concerned they have added BR maroon variants to those initially announced.

Roy

Hi Roy - that is correct. We are producing all the advertised versions of the Gresley BG and Buffet.

The Stanier Suburbans will probably be released in batches, with the most popular coming out first.

Briefly misread that as the local authority being the suspect  :D

There's a blue & grey buffet car with my name on it, hopefully.

I know we're in a different country and all that, but we had a similar occurrence a while back. A fairly battered looking car appeared in our road and stayed there for more than a week. We reported it to the council as an abandoned car. They presumably looked up the owner on the DVLA website and contacted them because a man turned up the next day and drove it away.

Presumably, as the pickup is for sale, there are contact details. Have you thought of contacting them and saying if you don't move it I will let your tyres down...?

Cheers,

Chris

Quote from: Bealman on February 13, 2019, 10:09:46 PMThanks, Dave! Don't think I'll be going down that route, though. As soon as I saw the word "purchase" it put me off - especially as Mrs Bealman is already paying for Netflix.

Thanks all the same though!  :thumbsup:
