Strictly speaking that is correct but in practice the meaning of, and the the number it refers to, are 'slightly' elastic. One will be told something will take a couple of seconds/minutes/hours/day/months.... or someone might say they are only going to have a couple of pints, often "a couple" means two or more but less than ten.

I too can recommend Grainge and Hodder, nice laser cut ply parts and very responsive customer service. The current turn round on orders is a month, mine were ordered on 10th November and arrived on 11th December. -

Their current eBay listing suggest estimated delivery of a month, as it's been twice that probably worth sending an email.

An understandable decision considering the current situation we find ourselves in. Looking forward to May '22 with my fingers crossed.

The cleaning products aisle in supermarkets and places like The Range, Wilko, Rober Dyas. I've got Shiny Sinks and Viakal in Sainsbury's in the recent past.

The Acquired Wagons of British Railways by David Larkin
Wellyboots replied to Ben04uk's topic in Books
I'd agree that it is a disappointment, but considering the current situation understandable. Although I can't see that the delay of this volume will necessarily cause the publication of subsequent volumes to be pushed back. -

According to An Illustrated History of Southern Pull-Push Stock after the closure of the Sheppey branch, in December 1950, sets 513 and 514 wandered around the South Western section during 1951, being noted at Portland, Hayling Island and Exmouth. Between 1952 and 1956 they were allocated to the Clapham Jn - Kensington Olympia sevice, 1957 to 1959 they were used on the Fawley branch, although the table at the of their section in the book show the 1957 allocations as 513 - Fawley, and 514 - Salisbury for Idmiston.
