I seem to have spent most of this year waiting for a few items to come through in the post, namely the Farish 108/101 and the Dapol 26/121.
The only things I have left on pre order are the new Farish GUV's, the Farish standard 5MT and the Farish Ivatt Mogul (although I'm not going to hold my breath for the last one after a discussion on the Bachmann stand at TINGS)
So, for now I have no sense of anticipation. There have been things announced I'm interested in - such as the Dapol Bulleids, but nothing seems to be actually looming close.
Do you have anything on pre-order you're kinda excited about (can't wait, won't wait) and if so, what? No wish lists please, just what is on order.

A set of LS Models type F Wagon Lits sleeping cars to go with my class 71 a la Night Ferry. Unfortunately they've been pending production for about three years now, and even when I have that the SNCF van is going to be a separate challenge.

Nothing specifically on order ... but am waiting for the Hornby Clun Castle (yes, I know, it's the wrong size for here - so sue me  :P), as she is both sound-fitted and named after a local castle to me ... and I visit her under maintenance every so often  :angel:  She had her boiler looking good last time - still nothing on her plates, but the assembly has finally started  ;D.  

Oh, & a bus  :smiley-laughing: Really  ;D.  There's one been released with the route that ran past my door when I were a nipper (and used it many a time)  :thumbsup:

Nothing is expected to arrive in sunny NC from the major suppliers right now.  My FGW HST came a little while ago, and then having been on tenter hooks for 5 weeks for my 121s and then the surprise arrival of my 4-CEP I think everything has now arrived. :thumbsup:

I am still very excited to receive my detailed restaurant car from Chris and my Warship from Dr Al. :beers:

Apart from that I am hoping for a Western from Dapol, and for clear resin 166 cab ends and clear resin tube bodies from Bob at N-Train.  None of those will happen till 2012.

I have given up hope on the gasometers from Bachmann on pre-order at Rails. :thumbsdown: :(

So much for 'no wish lists' then ::) ;D

I did actually tell a customer the other day that if he couldn't get what he wanted from our distributors to come back to me. He said "I want my mortgage reduced" which stumped me (for once)

Dapol Western in Sand livery - Why such an awful livery ? Sentimental reasons - A Lima Western was the first loco my dad bought me for the princely sum of £9.50. (brand new !)
If it's got rails... you have my full, undivided attention - Steam, diesel and electric, 'tis all good !

Really itching for the Fox Valley GP60M and GP60B to turn up, their GEVO was a stunningly nice model but for one fundamental flaw...too modern :thumbsup:

Oh pants, I forgot the wide cab GP60s were coming out.  I thought I was going to be in funds until the Farish 20s were released.
