      They say that the machine in the newsagents in Haverfordwest is lucky.

      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.

  2. My daddy was a bank robber but he never hurt nobody. He just loved to live that way and he loved to steal your money.

      I wouldn't mind seeing the return of the odd helicopter shot now and then; there's something about seeing a larger area of a model in context that I find very appealling.

      Well deserved. For what he has done for the profile of National Hunt racing, a peerage would not come amiss.

      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.
