  1. CJI casts his 23 years experienced eye over KR Models' latest offering, the Fell:
  2. The latest KR newsletter is out. The Fells are on the water, expected to arrive next month.
  3. Hopefully one day they will do a 11351/1R with the short roof pod to enable one of United’s earlier Nationals to be accurately modelled for the first time, although I am told United’s crews preferred the Bristol RE and regarded it as a far superior vehicle. United carried on buying REs right up to the end of RE production and didn’t take their first Nationals until 1976.
  4. Very impressive.congratulations. From where did you source the yellow and black lining, please?
  5. TMC told me a couple of weeks ago that they are expecting their early 45s in August
  6. Still hoping I get to run one of these before I myself am”withdrawn from service”
  7. As it’s a year since I posted this I was just wondering what progress there has been, can TMC update us please? I appreciate its been a tough year, like.
  8. I see the Connatix adverts are still with us in the new system.....
  9. Just going back to the beginnings of this thread and the criticisms made then of Middlesbrough Football Club for using German steel in the construction of the Riverside Stadium. I am very surprised that those criticising on here are not aware that Middlesbrough Football Club was COMPELLED to buy that steel from Germany because of European Union competition rules. I am quite certain that if the Club or its owner, Steve Gibson, who is a VERY proud Teessider, had had any choice in the matter they would have insisted on the steel for the stadium being made on Teesside but the fact Is that they had to buy it from the German tenderer, under strict EU competition laws. IT WAS THE LAW!
  10. Exactly this. There is a very small number of people on here who have just got it in for KR Models for some reason. I imagine they all look like Victor Meldrew But there are far more people out there who are satisfied GT3 Customers and/or supportive of KR’s Fell and other projects so that emphasises how totally irrelevant the Meldrews are.
  11. Remember these working at Dorman Long on Teesside, would love to do a DL version.
  12. KR’s Fell has already sold by the shedload, pal. I doubt KR, or anyone who has bought one, will be too bothered by what you think.
  13. Thanks for producing some very welcome bits and pieces over the last couple of years, the Clayton bonnets, J36 tender cab and 03 chimney were small but essential parts for me and you will be missed. Hope you can come back soon, in better family circumstances.
  14. Faces, Roxy Music, Slade, Morecambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, Deltics still on the ECML.....bring it on
  15. When, a few months ago, I made a similar point about GT3s appearing on ebay at inflated prices I got in response the (expected) patronising lecture in the economics of supply and demand from the regular blowhard on here, so stand by for incoming 828CC!
  16. Yep, a friend of mine sold her year-old Audi a few weeks ago for £5k more than she bought it new for.
  17. I had advice from Hornby ten days ago that it was on its way, nothing since and nothing from DPD who apparently are delivering it. Has anyone received theirs by DPD yet and if so how long did it take from you being notified by Hornby to actually receiving it?
  18. Not really extreme given my age and my declining health.
  19. To be honest I do genuinely wonder if I will live to see it.
  20. I can smell Bacon getting fried again.....
