So, there will be room for buses?

We seem to be very fortunate in NZ. Items airmailed from the UK are arriving here anytime between 7 - 14 days. In some instances this is better than pre Covid. It might have something to do with the NZ Government directly funding international air carriers to maintain airfreight links vital to our export sector. Transit times from Australia are not so good. I ordered some replacement tyres for a Dinky Toy from a chap in Melbourne; took 29 days...

Bullied coaches too please Gilbert.

New Zealand Line for me too. Unpatriotic to choose any other however, having worked for the post office, Royal Mail would be my second choice.

Biggin Hill for me. It was my first Airfix locomotive kit, given to me by my uncle in 1973.

Ottery St Mary for me please. My fathers family came from there.

Wow! My Black Friday Cemflos arrived in New Zealand yesterday. Looking at the parcel tracking history most of the transit time was spent at Heathrow waiting for a flight... This is about the usual transit time for air parcels from the UK to NZ so with all the restrictions due to the pandemic we are very well served. Wagons are superb too! Thanks for the great deal Fran. -
Sheffield Exchange, Toy trains, music and fun!

As a New Zealander living in London I was often mistaken for an Aussie! It got better when I visited Dublin, they thought I was Canadian! -

Can't wait for these to appear. I have already sold on my three Bachmann versions in preparation. -
