Hi All

It may have been common knowledge (apologies if it is) but Chivers kits are now being reintroduced under the five-79 brand (not sure if this is his son Matt?).

I have just spotted the N wagon range for sale on e-Bay, and pleasingly it now includes the LNER horse-box which as far as I know has not been available for some years: -

Naturally I have ordered a couple and an extra long LNER CCT, but there are also some of his modern image wagons listed.

No connection, just a fan of these kits..

Edit: Do check - not all listed are N gauge.

I believe it is Matt, and he's a friend of my next door neighbour

Interestingly they are all £2 dearer to buy on eBay than direct from their website.

I suspect that's in part at least to cover e-Bay seller's fees.

Thanks Roy, that's great news.  I've ordered an extra long CCT so I can recreate this little bit of Waverley loveliness:

I have one of the extra long CCT wagons and a lovely thing it is too. But, does anyone know of a source of LNER decals for them so I can finish it off.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just checked today and found he now has the OTA's available, that's now my bank account empty.

I'm made up for them.  I bought the last stock of OTAs off Simon last year when he was in a bad way to help him shift old stock.  Hope he's doing better now.
