BR Black V2s showing in stock at a number of retailers, so not long to wait now.

Cheers,

I'm not taken in, though. You're not that tall

Well a ban would give me more time modelling...

What about your ASBO for posing nude, though?

Wasn't totally nude. Had a helmet on.

I know Tull aren't to everyone's taste but they are my top band. I saw this tour twice

Hmmm, well the title doesn't say it has to be N gauge...

So I just sold four N gauge locos surplus to requirements, and I bought three OO ones in exchange. The Hornby "Birth of the Railways" boxed set.

This is a super douper collectors set with Locomotion, Rocket and Lion, and crikey aren't they small. I put a standard OO gauge Bachmann 09 shunter alongside Lion (the largest of the three locos) and a Dapol N gauge Class 73 in front of Locomotion for size. The Era 1 locomotives feel like they are TT models!

Rocket is in fact the smallest, and is DCC6 ready. Locomotion and Lion are Next 18 and even have sugar cube speakers pre-fitted!

I have to say that when Hornby does it well, they do it very well indeed. The pack even comes with three sets of crew.

And thank you TMC for free one day postage and truly careful wrapping.

Revolution made two sets for Transpennine Mk5a:
RT-TPE-Mk5-pack1; Set number TP04 Scarborough-Liverpool Lime Street
RT-TPE-Mk5-pack2; Set number TP09 Scarborough-Manchester Airport

Both still available at Rainbow Railways (and probably other retailers).

I vaguely remember that at least one set had the destination boards reversed on one coach (possibly the driving trailer?) so the destinations didn't match all the way along each side of the train.

Some have Manchester Airport and I think Middlesborough, depends on the set.
