    so is there no such thing as a "staple" model anymore these days? I was poised with credit card to buy at least 5 of these but no cigar again. love the Jaffa cake EMU but the price looks eye watering at RRP.

    Has "the kingsman" arrived yet?
  3. ThaneofFife
    As the import cost is over £135 did you have to pay anything extra in taxes? what was you total cost?
  4. ThaneofFife
    youll have a game beating jenny kirks A4 collection !

    is another class 40 in 00 gauge really needed, what with the fairly recent retooled Bachmann models?

    Dug out my handset to test a new dcc loco and couldnt get the handset to come on. My fault as ive not used it for years and made the mistake of leaving the batteries in it so it was all corroded and furred up inside so Ive binned it. The new loco has 31 functions so im now looking for a decent mid budget controller that can handle it and change CVs etc. What do people recommend. I will miss the Dynamis as the operation seemed easy.

    Time to dig out my old Bachmann Dynamis Pro controller and test my new 37.... Will it be up to the job in terms of function keys? Seem to think the Dynsmis is limited to 20 functions but the new,37 has about 30 on dcc sound. If the dynamis needs to go whats a good replacement mid budget?

    Msybe next itll be a video of the DHL driver pulling up making the delivery of the box.......ho hum.

    Plus thextrailers have interior wheel pick ups and through lighting and conductive couplings. I still think 589s a chunk though.

    The market doesnt really need more 37s right now if we're honest with ourselves.....staggered still no Mk2f coaches released..... Words fail me as they are a staple. I wonder how many peoples rakes are on hold as they didnt snap up loads during the first run god knows how many years ago it was now....... Its bah humbug from me Bachmann no matter how good 37 260 looks...... On the farish front though have to say the moving mountains trainset looks ace with the loco and 6 wagons!

    043 arrived tofay. Think i prefer the yellow used by Bachmann for the ends as these seem a bit "lemonie" in shade but who knows maybe the Bachmann yellow is the wrong shade. Cant believe how heavy the loco is though. A real feel of heft and quality.

    ive not even had the email yet on mine.....thought they would all be out by now.......
  13. ThaneofFife
    I doubt thatll come with any warranty unless its transferable with proof of originsl purchase.

    Thanks adam. Joined up thinking. Thats what we need more of in the hobby......very encouraged by this.
  15. ThaneofFife
    Even moreso now maybe with the Dapol 87s being announced. Didnt know the pullmans were square roof vented?
  16. ThaneofFife
    Strange hattons have the twin pack dcc fitted at £314 but £300 direct on Dapol website.....bit of a bargain. Think if we see an 81 or 85 in N i may switch from 00.
  17. ThaneofFife
    Not my scale but still a nice surprise... Quite a way off but a hell of range to see the model in......
  18. ThaneofFife
    If i psid for my scottish LL 37 does it just get dispatched or have i got to contact A/s at all as they are apparently now in stock?
  19. ThaneofFife
    Crikey didnt reaise there was so much italian blood on here all of a sudden....
  20. ThaneofFife
    will the pantographs be available as spares?
  21. ThaneofFife
    Been watching some great old footage of a variety of wcml sets at Carstairs from the late 80s and early 90s and see plenty of Brake 1st mk2 air con vehicles presumably they are all corridor compo coaches but did BR only build them as mk2 d and e or was there ever a mk2f BFK?
  22. ThaneofFife
    SK was the driving force behind tt120 so after he retires it needs somebody just as enthusiastic to carry that work on otherwise I can see the whole thing could just shrivel up and die.
  23. ThaneofFife
    Any news from Hornby? Incidentally i saw some blue n grey stock on msking tracks 3 so will you be doing any br blue era running sessions???
  24. ThaneofFife
    Thats the real rub when Hornby have done a livery brfore and exevuted it perfectly yet more recent releases have been completely messed up due to different processes......their Class 87 009 is a similar story. 87 010 was done spot on and 3 years later they mess up the red stripe!
  25. ThaneofFife
    The latest Model Rail magazine has reviewed 87 009 this month. Gave it a glowing report despite acknowledging the ropey paint application of the stripe on all the cab doors.....
