Jim Easterbrook Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I stupidly didn't read my "invoice" email properly and assumed it meant "we've charged you £x" whereas it actually meant "please pay £x". So mine will be a bit late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the UNESCO Landwasser viaduct Ge4/4-III. Hobbysearch says that their third most popular item currently is the Luggage Van. Other RhB items feature in their Top 20. I hope Mr Kato is watching.
