not just trade ads though, I'm getting stuff about dogs... I did have a relatively good ad free experience until recently as a gold subscriber but today it seems to have taken a dip.

Kernow always worth keeping an eye on for bargains, had not seen this 009 Bachmann Baldwin (GVT) in their bargains section before, now for less than a £100, which is tempting: https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/59377/391-029-Bachmann-Baldwin-Class-10-12-D-Glyn-Valley-Tramway EDIT--TMC also have it, but at £95.96 (free postage over £100 too): https://www.themodelcentre.com/391-029-5 -
Current Situation with Deliveries
tractionman replied to Widnes Model Centre's topic in Model Shop Guide
I'm impressed with Hatton's, order picked and despatched on Tuesday pm, sent RM24, to NI, arrived by lunchtime today, Thursday, has my nice LMS 6-wheel brake in the order too :-) cheers, Keith -
those look excellent @BR traction instructor I've been eyeing up some new gloves too as they make a massive difference out on the bike, I tend to wear gloves cycling all the time but winter ones like those would be good in this weather at the mo. funny thing is while I might buy a model loco or rolling stock £100+ when it comes to spending on my cycling kit I'm really tight! I'm beginning to retrain myself a bit on this, and weigh up whether I should be getting a nice new loco vs say a decent down sleeping bag, which would serve me well for colder camping and bivvying... decisions decisions! all the best, Keith

anyone else been out and about recently? I've only just got over some bug and managed a short ride along Belfast Lough yesterday evening, very nice, dark and quiet... have a good cycling Christmas all 🚵♀️ and all the best for 2023! cheers, Keith
