47606odin Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Well, it’s nice being in dear old Blighty, but the traffic! I didn’t miss it. unfortunately with Dapol and Heljan both running late with their products means my visit to Hattons and Tower will be a lot cheaper than they were going to be, and I will have to risk the postal service for my heavy locos, so will have to expect damage. I was hoping to protect them in my luggage a bit. At least I will be able to get some railmatch paint whilst I’m here. Do I buy a pair of 20’s......need to keep weeds down, but can I live with the over round tops of the roofs, I will have to see one in the flesh any decent shows in the next few weeks as I missed Doncaster? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Hi Ian, Looks like you are having a good time in the UK. Can't beat a bit of class 50 thrash. Any other Pres lines on the to do list? Cheers Peter Edited June 10, 2019 by P.C.M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47606odin Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Having seen the now decorated examples of the new Heljan class 50, I am very tempted given rule 1, no 50’s to the best of my knowledge have been on HG being a shareholder of 50019 Ramillies, it would be nice to have it in early NSE livery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily Steve, Heljan and Dapol are both running so late, there maybe nothing to tempt me, still waiting for 33’s and pilots, unless I need a 20 to convert to keep weeds under control..... we’ll have to wait and see 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
