A brilliant turn around in the current uncertain times. I can’t wait for my WCRC pair.

Totally agree. I think I will be spending a long time on Saturday at Shap!

I’ve just built some 16 ton minerals so it will be 16 ton mineral wagons.

I have just picked up Alice from Tony’s trains. She is beautiful.

I spent a bit of time with you on Saturday and would like to say thank you for the encouragement you gave me. Never been to the show before and really enjoyed speaking to the experts who willingly passed on advice. Jonathan

Well said. I received mine yesterday and all I can add is “wow” and “thank you “ to the MNA for sharing these wonderful images.

Website has been updated. Six more books to come. 3 in the summer and the other 3 later in the year. The website is accepting expressions of interest. Can’t wait!

Stunning. Thanks for sharing as this has really inspired me to finally take the plunge and build a layout, rather than just collecting Loco’s. Jon

Hi all Just a big thumbs up for Tony again. Yet again he has come trumps with his service. Do give him a ring if you need anything, he will go out of his way to help. Jon

Thanks very much

Hi I have just purchased a set of pre-tops. Could I have some suggestions on what would be an appropriate brake van to run with them. Thanks in advance J

Totally agree with this recommendation. This is now my model shop of choice. Do pop in if you are in the area. Jon

Ditto. Just started volume 2. I have to sit at a table to read them though!

Thanks for the prompt replies. J

Good evening all What would be an appropriate brake van to run behind a set of these wagons and a 4F in the 1950's? Thanks in advance. J

Dear Deirdre Could you help me please as I am unsure if I have a problem. I own 2 duchesses in LMS red, 1 in black, 1 in blue, 1 in green with sloping smoke box, 1 in green without sloping smoke box, 1 in br maroon and a couple of Wrenn ones. I have also had delivered yesterday Sir William, which has now replaced my wedding photo at the side of my bed! I now crave "Hamilton ". Do I need help. Thanks Confused of Leicester

Rocket?

I have used Hattons for over 20 years and have always found them to be brilliant. So when my wife started to raise the subject of Christmas presents I hopefully sent her my wish list from the Hattons website. Brilliant 2 locos to unwrap this year (must have been good!). Anyway, when I get home from work today i find a card through the door saying that they had left the package behind a dustbin! To say I was not impressed that a package worth over £200 was left behind a bin in a cardboard box in the rain is an understatement. As I have an account with Hattons a text message has come to my phone asking me to rate the delivery by Yodel. I am sure you can guess my response. Never had this issue with the Royal Mail!

Quite possibly the green 9F.

Hi Can I just echo the comments of the other members who have issued their thanks. I look forward to some industrial fun.
