  1. If you really want a Mashima, Branchlines are still advertising them, which types I do not know. Or john Isherwood of Cambridge Custom transfers is selling a Mashima look alike. I bought two which I have not used yet, tried looking  for them so I could be clever  and post the dimensions but they have escaped in my stores non-system so I am foolish!! Both retailers have been very helpful.

      You mean there wasn't at least five types of chimneys, umpteen tenders, different domes, left and right hand drive, different exhaust ejector pipework, Stanier or Fowler wheelsets, plain or fluted rods, waterscoops or not, train heat pipes, bufferbeams with rod end covers or blanks, early or late buffers, sorry but I'm running out of ink.....

      Yes Tim thanks, I was just so happy it's done, HMRC say the form is easier now but there are still some conflicting statements to work through.

      Yep dead easy with DC control.... Just another DCC myth.

  13. My earlier status update was a bit sweary so I shall replace it with this far more seasonal one which contains no swearing. Good will to all! Except couriers.

      Yes, it seems Herpes has lost my parcel too. 7 days now.

  14. has just enjoyed 'Brief Encounter' with the good diction, every word could be heard. Well I'm old fashioned! Ah well...back to those awfully tedious supermarket adverts. The only relief is the perfume ads...!

  15. How great is it that us Scottish modellers can hold a proper RTR ‘yin ae oor ain’ in hand at long last. Braw!

      I was the same, couldn't remember what I had ordered, had to check it out and found it was a set of loco wheels which arrived a couple of weeks later.

  22. I get the feeling from my latest attempt to buy my grandson's Xmas present that if you are a previous customer of Amazon it's Amazon Prime or not at all. (After three attempts I chose Waterstones)

      The guy is now the richest person in the world and his company tries everything to avoid paying tax in various countries so I won't touch Amason now. Local shops for local people I say... Or they will all disappear.
