Hi Ged,
I'd agree with you wholeheartedly, but patiently awaiting my balance invoice as the guys are undoubtedly up to their ears in invoicing and getting stuff shipped out presently.
I'm just that little bit jealous in that I had arranged to pick mine up at GETS along with 3 class 128s (yes, that kinda railway!) but my carer went poorly so we couldn't go, I know they'll turn up soon enough.
I do know what you mean though as that's exactly how I feel about the flowing silk version (my carer prefers the full Avanti having seen the real ones) and it's presentation packaging when it arrived not so long ago. This will also be my fourth!
Regards, Gerry.
