lordhinton Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 theres the lima one? have you seen that, seems suitable enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattWallace Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 theres the lima one? have you seen that, seems suitable enough Hmmm, just seen that one now, reviews appear to be varied on the quality of it, but at £28 it's nearly twenty times cheaper than any of the Heljan ones! Looks like it might be modify-able as a future project as well. I think you're right about the size of the Heljan for a TMD, but for my four-road freight depot it would have been awesome!
