Maybe that's why I had the vague feeling that I actually may have already asked the question a while ago.
Just wanted to report that I finally got my hands on my APT-E just a few days ago. It's very nice (shame about the mold lines on the nose though) and I'm really pleased with it. So I'd like to take the opportunity to say thanks to you, Kit, for the enthusiasm and availability. I'm sure that without your input this model certainly wouldn't have been as realistic.
Thanks also to Sandra at Shildon. Got there in the end, although it would have been nice to have recieved an update/invitation to pay the balance when the models became available. For a couple of weeks I felt as if I wasn't sure if I was actually going to get mine, but Sandra reassured me all was well. Lovely packaging and presentation of the model.
Come on Rapido, HST Prototype and Class 89 next please!!
Right, all said and done, I can now get back to my coffee and reading the rest of the fantastic booklet that came with the APT-E
