Some may recall a while ago I was looking to build a T Gauge model. Now I know space cannot be used as an excuse here, the issue was simply one of time. During the interim, I did a little bit of work on John's 'Lynnbottom' layout, on the scenic side. Now the T Gauge manufacturer, Eishindo, have a number of exciting items in the pipeline including points (hurrah! ) and the Kiha 40 diesel railcar - much to look forward to.

Something that has been planned for quite a while are road vehicles, and I have been itching to get hold of some. Fortunately I live about 10 miles from one of the main UK dealers for Eishindo products, Gaugemaster. Whilst down there the other day, collecting my Dapol Terrier 'Brighton Works' I noted a package marked 'T Gauge vehicles'. Investigations confirmed that these were a sample pack sent over, therefore representing one of a very small handful in the UK (probably single figures).

Slight problem though....they are unpainted kits!

The detail is incredible - these are taxis...

...some with open doors!
