  1. There has been a history of him taken down his channel, often due to comments being made he didn’t like, and then more recently after comments he himself made about other YouTubers in his videos which were really not very pleasant, and caused something of a backlash. I lose track exactly but I think the last two closedowns were as a result of uncalled for comments he had made. Somehow the tag ‘of the world being a better place if we all enjoyed our model trains as much as I do etc’ began to ring very hollow.
  2. Ah sorry to hear. Mine arrived at 12 noon, just about to open them, now work is finished...
  3. Got my shipping notification for the Blue and Grey ones at 2pm this afternoon. These were ordered on 28 August 2021.
  4. Yes I've been looking for 'Bachmann TEA' too. Entering exactly that phrase brings up two Hornby teak coaches, and a Hornby TEA tank wagon first, then the Bachmann TEA tank wagons. Entering 'Bachmann TEA tank' instead, I still get the Hornby one first. In each case the word 'Hornby' is highlighted as if it was in my search terms when it certainly wasn't. Browsing through the clearance section in OO gauge>rail>pristine still gives me weathered stock - the exclusive Peaks mainly. I can't select the new items - which is what I'm interested in. This same search also returns HO items - again why?
  5. Nice to see this gap filled. Just a note for info for those interested in the Scottish ones - It seems only 1 of the 4 (a BS) has the low-lining position, the other 3 have the normal lining position.
  6. Accurascale, see launch thread. The decoration artwork in that thread is correct, as per BV's photos.
  7. Ok, looks like the date from SYP to FYE isn't in the loco record for D25 on the Peak Diaries website, https://peakdieselarchive.co.uk/the-peak-diaries But sometime in 1967 works fine for me still. I don't suppose that S&C photo is online anywhere? Edit: I did find this, which says taken on 6 October 1968. There is an S&C photo of D25 in GFYE on 1S68, it was taken in Feb 1969. https://peakdieselarchive.co.uk/gallery-45-012-45-022
  8. I'm interested in an AB with the open rear cab sheet, but I'm not sure which versions have that feature on the website. Is it the versions without the cowl around the hand brake wheel?
  9. Not all Mk1 compartment stock was created equal either. 3rd class and later 2nd class was 6 seats per compartment on the LMR and ER, and 8 seats per compartment on the LMR SR and WR.
  10. Yes I noticed that too - a better choice would have been from D174 onwards. I do like the economy green Peak, D25, and it looks like it was in this condition between May '66 and Feb '69.
  11. Who would have thought that the humble Brush Type 2 would end up being one of, or even the most tooled UK diesel loco in OO? Triang, Airfix, Lima, Hornby, Accurascale, and now Bachmann. 263 made and 64 years of service has a lot to do with it I'm sure. I think possibly 42/43, 47 and 52 are onto four or five different toolings currently, depending on your defintion of OO.
  12. It's good to know these tools are going to a good home. Well done to Hattons and Accurascale for achieving such a positive outcome.
