Cheapest I've seen elsewhere is £152, but only 10 left as of posting

Thank you for this, not really my location but can’t resist and I can use it for my intermodal traffic. The class 90 brings back great memories

Just placed an MRD order for Maude and Eagle CURC. Both were on my 'nice to have but not crucial' list (especially since I can't use the TTS sound on the J36), bu at those prices it would be rude to say no!

Browsing for 009 bits on line I remembered seeing these folks at a recent exhibition. A cost effective way to pick up a new 009 locomotive that you can customise as you wish. No connection, just thought it may be of interest to some. Chris

Bottom of the page for the chassis plus body.

Lidl are selling various DIY tools and accessories from Thursday 6th June. Anyone doing any layout wiring may find the scotch lock type connectors & croc clips useful. The 8 brush pack for £2.99 could be useful for painting,cleaning or ballasting.

Got an email from Rails this morning, they're still trying to get rid of sell the Dapol Class 22 locos with the full yellow end (Green and Blue) and the small yellow panel blue.

I actually don't mind the syp Blue, but the fye examples are crimes against aesthetic humanity!

Because of the same reason the Tesco coupon with £6 off a £40 spend is invariably on the doormat when I get back from Tesco's having spent over £40.

Contact the seller and see if they are happy to cancel the order and immediately refund on the basis that you will remake it immediately upon getting the refund

If you take your coupon and receipt to customer services they usually just give you cash in exchange for the voucher. Done it two or three times.
