Plus an order (Gulp, nothing paid) for the 59201 / 59202 double pack.

Fatal, it's just too easy to do that! I did that with an Accurascale 92. Totally conflicted now. I don't model OO. They're my favourite locos. It looks stunning. £190 on a shelf queen. Surely an appreciating asset?!

I've been a bit more sensible on more recent Revolution releases, but still got 3 Pendolinos, 16 mk5s and three 59s to come, and I fear they'll all be close together. Than the Farish 90s. And a sound fitted 60, which is already booked in to Mercig. Oh dear...

Nick my friend, without wishing to sound patronising at all, if you can afford it, go for it!

My nose (the scourge of display cases everywhere) was pressed up against the glass on the Peco stand at Warley where the limited edition Accurascale 92022 was being displayed.

My favourite example of my favourite class. 00 or not, it's very "want one".

Having said that, admirable restraint with the 59s  ;)

EVRI is the new Herpes, and their reputation wasn't particularly good :no:

Think that might be to do with the actual delivery driver. We have had the same young lady delivering for them under both their previous and current guises, and she is brilliant. She knows where our safe place is if there's no-one in, and is always cheerful and chatty no matter what.

I was going to say that too.
It is as much down to the individual driver as the sorting office IMHO.

Except Hermes did cost me £700 delivering 500 flyers to a conference I was attending (three weeks late).

No comeback as they actually did deliver them!!
Never will I use that firm or its new incarnation.

Hi Folks,

Actually bought a few things this month which is unusual of late...

* Rapido Class 28 - another Hornby Dublo model recreated in N Gauge!
* A selection of hand operated Lone Star Treble-O-Lectric Signals - love these as they are perfect for N Gauge
* Graham Farish SR 12 Ton Ventilated Van Even Planked BR Bauxite - second hand (never used) bargain

Merry Christmas

In the words of Madonna, nothing like a good spanky!

Not sure whether Kenny would agree with that...........



Ok, back on topic, 2x class 28s, 3x class 59s, 1x Blue Pullman HST, 2 sets of Cartic-4s and possibly other stuff from Revolution. I can't check though as the site won't let me in  :veryangry:
