Haven't got one of the new £5 notes yet? How about this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-AA01-5-POUND-NOTE-PLASTIC-POLYMER-UNCIRCULATED-SERIAL-NUMBER-/252547704547?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=hlMFzuI0TmDs3jWONQMsmVuvxZA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

The only Triumph that I recall having wipers the "right" way round was the Stag. They did a pretty good job of clearing the screen as well, unlike the Dolomite and big saloon ranges. Gra

It's Wedgewood. Gra

I have received a £100 voucher from Hornby as well but looking on the Hornby site there is nothing I actually want. Ideally I would like another early class 31 but none are available so I may wait a while and hope there is no expiry on the voucher.

Hi Ian I'm sure Hattons will see you OK. I have dealt with them for years and they are one of the best. My previous post was really to warn others regarding Yodel but it is easy to make a mistake when ordering as the RM and Y options are right next to each other so it was worth checking. Gra

I have loads of deliveries sent to my business address and of all the delivery companies out there Yodel are about the worst. Well that is my experience anyway. I am waiting for a delivery from Hattons now and it should be coming by Royal Mail. If I remember correctly there is a delivery option on Hattons site for 2 day Royal Mail or Yodel 24 both at £4, I chose RM and I would advise everyone else to do the same. Gra

Not as such. Hornby just didn't make enough to satisfy the demand and they all sold out in a matter of days. I bought all 3 of the new Hornby Thompsons for £85 a few weeks back. Gra

How about this Hornby Thompson brake. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110982401237?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649&autorefresh=true

I had a delivery from Rails yesterday and also one from Hattons. I ordered from them on the same day earlier in the week, so excellent service both companies.

I have to agree with everyone, this certainly looks to be a superb model of the Deltic. As for short trains for it to haul I remember staying in the north for a few days as a child and a green Deltic came by every day with two pullman cars and possibly a full brake; on its way to Harrogate maybe?
