  1. If French Customs have incorrectly charged and the information on the Customs label was correct it's down to French Customs to reimburse you.
  2. The only fault there then lies with French Customs not the seller or ebay. And having the misfortune to deal with French Customs on a daily basis this doesn't surprise me in the least!
  3. You forgot the SR brakevan at Manea which is another forgotten East Anglian relic of near mythical status...
  4. Has it actually been announced that the Mk5s are going to Chiltern yet or are people getting a wee bit ahead of themselves?
  5. Protoneo are very good and have a wide range. Shawplan also good.
  6. Well, I'll say a simple well done and thank you to the members of the Warley club both past and present for bringing us so many successful shows. It truly was a monster to organize. I hope it continues in some form or another at another venue. Well done and enjoy the rest Warley MRC!
  7. Total boll*cks and really insulting to teachers. In general teaching is a completely different skill set and not comparable to other jobs/industries.
  8. I was thinking about the ones with TTA tops codes...
  9. Not putting airbrake pipes/equipment on air braked wagons is a pretty fundamental error. Especially in 7mm.
  10. Small point maybe but there are lots of double deck EMUs in Europe so plenty of room.
  11. Thanks.....thanks what I suspected. Just how does anyone get it that badly wrong??
  12. Has anyone got any photos of these end-on? All the photos I've seen so far are side-on but there seems to be a lack of air-brake pipes fitted to the bufferbeams. Unless they're in a detail pack?
  13. Not really as the tax paid (VAT as model railway items are free of import duty) goes to HMR&C. The £13 handling fee goes to Royal Mail for processing the Customs declaration. Whether it's good value or not is open to debate! By way of comparison my companies basic Customs clearance fee for commercial goods is £25.00 (to other forwarding agents) Importers pay a bit more! This can be for a 40' container.
  14. What tax are Hattons talking about here though? UK VAT which can be deducted from export orders (though lots of shops don't do this) or local taxes in the countries of destination (GST in Australia to use Jon's example above)? Big difference which needs clarification.
