Ruffnut Thorston Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Possibly the original "THOR".... After accident damage it was scrapped, and the name plates moved (or new ones made?) to D1677... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Moxy Posted August 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2015 Nothing in Wigan today, despite trying both Asda & WH Smith. I appreciate this is already a day late, but does anyone know what time magazines are usually delivered? I'm just wondering whether it's worth trying the supermarkets early tomorrow before I go to work. i can't be bothered with WH Smith again during lunch hour, that will have to wait until weekend before I get back there.

Catkins Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) I checked in the Boston WH Smiths, and couldn't see them - "no problem" thinks me, I've got three on order at Grantham. I called into the Grantham WH Smiths at 16:30ish, to be told they are a week late, but I've got two on order - "I was hoping for three!" says I, the assistant (Manager?) says she'll sort it out. By the way, WH Smiths Boston has always seemed to have copies on the shelf when I've looked before. I have yet to be let down by WH Smiths in Grantham, they seem to be a god crew there.

RMweb Premium JDW Posted August 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2015 I resisted the Western, but might be tempted by the 47, if its half decent - anyone know where I might find one (when they appear) in Aberdeen/shire? I never see any in WHS or Asda, and don't fancy spending the cost of a new loco in diesel randomly trying every supermarket! Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Perhaps the staff member responsible for carefully incorporating the white cat hairs with the two A2's I purchased is having a week off? As a neophyte purchaser of the product at issue no 39, has this been a standard feature of this product line? (I only learned they are cat hairs yesterday from the person I purchased the second of the two for, the female side of his family are cattists, much to his despair.) The Hutler Benderson 4-4-0 body I have was bought for me by the same friend and came to my hands already dismantled. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 They haven't caught up the week they lost, have they? So I imagine they're fairly relaxed about it, as it's the end of the series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted August 20, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 20, 2015 And not the first time as those who've followed the series through will be well aware. Not really a problem so long as there is information available so as not to leave us guessing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
