      I think you might need to put on several cycles to wash an entire newsagents - but having never been to Haverfordwest I don't know how big they are there.

      OK...so there are "errors" in th eroof ventilator layout, and others....

       

      BUT they are good for what they are. Old style Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits. Based on old RTR models.

       

      Great for "bashing". (like GBL for coaches, but already in bits!)

       

      If you want them as they come, you only really need to paint the ends (and the underframe to hide the "plastic" shine) black.

      On the Hattons site they do a kit and a rtr version of the same model.Tempted by a 60' lined maroon one.

      I would say go with the TOC you're using. As well as not charging a booking fee they often have way to print your own tickets or have a ticket sent to your smart phone for free instead of being charged postage.

      London midland will be cheaper than virgin but will take longer.

      Cheapest way to buy ink cartridges is to buy a new printer! (The printer manufacturers make their money on the replacement cartridges).

    3. richbrummitt

      richbrummitt

      The printer cartridges that are included are usually only partly filled. Certainly replacement HP ones lasted a lot longer than those that it shipped with.

      Some one used to run a little (Franchised?)business in the forecourt of our local Sainsburys, re filling your own spent cartridges. Didn't last long, I'm afraid.
