  1. I also have a pair by Aigle and they are the best boots I have owned in years. I used to buy Hunters, but when production left Glasgow and they changed the way they were made, I found they couldn't cope with country life in Nova Scotia. Barbour themselves made wellies 30 years ago and you could have them in blue, if that was your desire.
  2. By the 1950s these were largely relegated to internal use at collieries in the North East.
  3. I stand corrected, it is HST I am paying rather than duty. However, when items are sent by the post office they may or may not be stopped by the Canadian Border Service Agency and when stopped they apply a standard fee of $9.00. When a Courier is used they add a fee to the fee and it often amounts to more than the HST for small shipments. I look forward to the multi-option checkout.
  4. Wish my experience was the same but here in Canada I will be charged twice the admin fee for the duty and be subjected to a third rate service as DHL offloads to a local courier who doesn't appear to own a map. I love the products but if Accurascale continue to only offer a DHL service I will have to shop elsewhere.
  5. and what have the Romans ever done for us????
  6. The firebox flicker actually looked like fire, very well done.
  7. Are they here yet??? What happened to the coal loads, has the UK run out of coal?
  8. I know they are not a Deltic, but are they here yet? Just asking for a friend.
  9. Yes, too good an offer to miss! Still a couple left!
  10. I think it says a lot of Accurascale that although there is no need for a club, there are a lot of us out there that would be happy to join it. Being old school, I'd like a magazine that contained the news and reviews that are on line, but I'd prefer to spend money on stock and if I really need a printed page I can print from the website.
  11. Thanks! Know anybody in the market for a kidney? Last time my wife put me on the streets she ended up making refunds.
  12. Shopify have just sent a message to say 37 001 is partially shipped. Does this mean it is time to pay the balance?
  13. https://www.accurascale.com/pages/support#reamaze#0#/kb/class-55-deltic/how-to-remove-the-deltic-body Search of FAQ on Accurascale website provides many answers if you wish to look.
  14. Apart from the Observation car, the stock is comprised of articulated twins. Do you believe this one coach we receive will be a pair of just one half of a twin and we will have to find a friend with the other twin to run them and who would get the middle bogie? Just asking for a friend!
  15. Has there been any news on the Coronation Stock? Hornby's website say expected Autumn 2023.
  16. Yes, I'd like a Sir Archibald Sinclair, I'm sure the Accurascale treatment would produce an interesting model.
  17. May I have a purple one? 😇
  18. I don't really think it is any business of anybody else why someone buys a product. Some find enjoyment running trains, some in collecting boxes and others in buying something with the idea they might make some money selling it on. All may provide joy to the purchaser and good luck to them. In the time from the first press release until the closing of order books there was the opportunity to place an order. Just because one person is able to and another is not is just a fact of life and I really don't care that for whatever reason somebody doesn't get to purchase the item.
  19. I didn't like the black ends but just in Darlington green I'd have one!
  20. I think you are right but did the return only go as far as Sunderland?
  21. I believe there was one used on a daily trip from Sunderland to Middleton in Teesdale via Durham and Bishop Auckland.
  22. How close are the First and Last HAAs to reaching these shores? I thought I read somewhere that although the first part of the main production had errors and were being reworked, this would not affect the production of the models for Locomotion.
  23. I have a model of 1759 on order and the question is do I get TMC to add DCC & Sound and then do their magic to it or do I order a second in LNER? Of course if the economy doesn't sink without trace I might do both. A D20 would be fantastic! We can always hope. You never know, Hornby might decide to fill in the gaps and make a Raven A2!
