You're doomed, Mr. Mainwaring, you're doomed
Hope you haven't got anything on pre order that may arrive in March

I almost managed it this month, I was foiled by the WMSR pre-order from about three years ago and a chance to buy a a 2fs converted class 26 .

I would have managed it bar the
Two Turbo Stars, one class 66, one class 90 and various other parts DOH!!

I didn't buy anything in 2012
I decided to sit back and have a break

the Mrs doesn't want me to play this game...
apparently i still have to pay for the groceries, put petrol in the car etc....

Hi Tim,

Been trying to do the same in Feb. Valentine's day, girlfriend's 50 th birthday, vet's bills etc has taken it's toll but hard not to go to ebay and think I want that, I want that!

With regards to March, mother's and neice's birthdays coming up and when they're over I'm going to invest any money left at the Cheltenham races and put my St. Patrick's day Guinness on a tab.

Think I need help!

Good luck 

ive looked at hattons and rails but cant find "nothing" in any of their sections. Do you have a part number.

Yes, the part you need is BU-66ER-4LL

I do have the Brighton Belle on pre-order but lets face thats not going to arrive imminently. 

With Sterling falling like a stone against the Euro - I'll be sticking an order for track & points into Hattons today or tomorrow as (for me at least) it creates a bit of a discount...

You either cant see it listed because its been discontinued or  its currently out of stock
It's very hard to find a shop that is still open that has Nothing in stock.
It's not a very popular stock item with shops, as once there is Nothing on the shelves the customers stop asking for Something and the shop quickly goes into negative profit after week or two.
