    April 1st, the only day of the year when people critically evaluate what they read on the internet before reposting it.....

      And real events have never seemed so much like a Poisson d'Avril.

    Can a1:76 73/9 be 3D printed then?

      I'm sure it can mate. I am looking for a cheap Dapol Class 73 so that I can measure it up and draw a suitable Class 73/9 shell to fit on top of it.

      If you do come across a Class 73 from Dapol that has a damaged body but a working chassis, let me know. Can probably work it out from there.

      Cheers!

      It seemed to "think" for a long time on a couple of actions and seemed to drop me out of one forum I was reading. Probably me though, it usually is.

      Yes I had an error message at one point, but when I came back to it later it seemed to have sorted itself out.

      No way, RMWexit means RMWexit!

    Why is it that for months you have virtually 'nothing' to buy and then all of a suden there is a tidal wave of desirable gear.....

      Best just to rationalise it to “it was a bundle sweet cheeks, it works out at £18 per wagon if I bought the bundle, and with free postage we’re saving money!” That’s what my other half does when she buys clothes anyway!
