The only appropriate material for telegraph poles is metal, and a good first aid kit ... David

Nobody is forcing you to sell to the EU.

I usually cut the panes well oversize and retain them with styrene strips so that there is no danger of them ever falling out. That method will be a bit awkward on a 2mm scale signal box, though. David

Here you go: https://southernacrylics.co.uk/epages/91219bf3-65e8-4793-8013-f4c24e711941.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/91219bf3-65e8-4793-8013-f4c24e711941/Products/00001 Ive no experience with them but they weren’t difficult to find by searching for “0.5mm acrylic”.

I’ve been searching the internet for details of BR miniature snow ploughs, as fitted to most diesel locos, without much success. Photos show that they are a very complicated shape which is difficult to visualise ‘in the flat’. Does anyone have, or know where I can find, a dimensioned drawing? Photos of the separate components would also be helpful. TIA, David

I could think of a few four letter acronyms ... David

It is, and it might well be a foretaste of international commerce within the EU after July 1st. David

Those are excellent. Amazingly well detailed for 2mm scale. David

No, German VAT (MwSt) is back to 19% and has been since the beginning of the year IIRC. David PS. A bargain compared to Irish VAT at 23%!
