I was thinking that as well Peter.

 

We seem to have missed it here. We went to bed with so called wet snow falling and beginning to settle but we've woken this morning to a reasonably clear sky and the snow's all gone.

Bitterly cold but nice here today, still I took the easy way to the Shop for the paper, I took the Car. The furthest it's been was 5 miles each way to Emsworth and back yesterday for my Covid Jab. its done less that 15 miles in 2 Months.

Hi Brian, If you mean the bit  of dead Tree, I got that idea from seeing them in the Sidings at Burton on Trent.

Thanks Martin, I could do with some more Wagons, but NOT at £100 + a shot. I'm silly, but not stupid.

I didn't feel it was polite to agree to that but wagons at that price....

It would seem from the comments on here and Twitter that there may be a market if Heljan were to do a rerun. However I suspect they would ramp up the price to something similar despite the fact that the tooling costs must have been paid for

Haha, Thanks Don, I see what you mean, and why you didn't agree.

I got a few when Hattons were doing them at silly low prices, and I thought at the time, I should have got a few more, but hey ho, I didn't. I have what I have, and even a re run at the original £75 would be acceptable on some like Raifreight VAA's for example.

I did the same but I wish I had bought more vans.  I've taken to building more kits to increase my stock of AB wagons

Agree about the comments about Heljan wagon prices and yes I think they would sell a greater number if more reasonable priced. Can't see prices falling any time soon now we have left the EU club

We should have replied with a laugh really otherwise we would just cry

Get some parkside grampus wagon kits, Andy.

They suit your era.

Easy to build. (If you can build an airfix kit you can build these)

I had one and gave / sold it to my mate George @georgeT but I do have a credit note with a Local Shop so may get a couple.

I sold it because I didn't fancy building it. even though I used to enjoy building the Parkside 16T Minerals and Vans.

The front chain swings out as one of Seven Mills two Resident 08 Shunters, No 08173 moves off with a jerk to grab some more Wagons.

What happened there? The lens focal length or zoom you've used has given those locos a weird look...

Aperture? My little Canon is just a point and shoot job? 

That's the way they are, I think.

Well the New Mills Lane Bridge arrived this morning from George, @georgeT,

And to start with it wouldn't fit.

Then I realised I had to remove the old one,

Perfect.

 

 

 

Thanks George, Once again I'm in your debt.

Then some clown decided to put the old junk back on there.

 

 

But the Law and a couple of Workmen arrived to sort out the mess.

Glad it fits Mate, it will look a lot better when you paint the road and pavement details in ?

Hi Andy,

Love the new bridge.

What did you use for your ‘dead tree’ by the thirty three.... (poetry) an idea for an area I could do like wise.

Cheers

Julian.
