A slight geographical correction. Mt. Victoria is at the rear of the photo. The cable car runs up to the suburb of Kelburn. 🙂

Hattons customers in New Zealand have received the same email so its not confined to just the ATO, the IRD are over it as well. Mark's & Spencer were tax free to NZ until a couple of years ago too. It's more expensive for Kiwis as our GST rate is 15%. I've dealt with Hattons for 50 years and have always received excellent service. Their trunk facility was great for saving postage so this is quite a shame. Regards, Simon

D6702 paid for at Hattons. Soon to be winging its way to New Zealand. 😀

If it helps, I run my Torquay Manor on DCC and the performance is superb. I tried it on my grandson's Hornby trainset which according to the maker produces 19 v DC @ 0.5 amps. Performance was to say the least sub optimal...😉

Yes, all those unmade Parkside kits soon to appear on EBay! 😃

I'm sure Sam will show us...🙃

How about Accurascale recreating the original trainset? 😀

Yes, I had all sorts of problems getting my ESU cab Control to recognise the V5 Loksound in my Deltic! Got there in the end, but what a mission.

Looks like the Plains Railway and Museum in Tinwald near Ashburton.

It's certainly bright! 😀

Not from my "manor" but seen the Bressingham version so very tempting... Well done Accurascale.

Any update on the ETA?

Could have been purple! 😃

The Warranty Team provide an excellent service. Best in the industry. Simon

Me too!

I have recently completed a double track junction using Peco Unifrog track. I configured it as dead frog just to see how it worked knowing I could liven the frogs if required. Have to say the track performs faultlessly and "does what it says on the tin". I have a selection of locomotives consisting of all the major brands (soon to add Accurascale 😀) and kit built. These negotiate the formation without issue. The only locomotive to have a problem (stalls) is the Hattons/DJM Auto Tank. This says more about the characteristics of this locomotive than the track it runs on.

I emailed Peco and they replied that slips and crossings are currently in production and will soon be with stockists.

Brave man!😃

No, spent the money on necessities such as HUOs, Cemflos, MDOs and Coil As... 😃

I sold my three Bachmann Deltics as soon as Accurascale announced their Deltic project. The plan was to fund the Accurascale version with the proceeds. That was along time ago and of course that money is long gone... 😉😉

Similar to this?😒

Just received advice from Hattons. 1 x Peco Large Radius Left Hand Bullhead Turnout dispatched.

And a Shackleton.....

Here's an example of when remote control shunting doesn't end well... Here a Kiwi Rail remote control DSG class shunter takes a dip in Picton Harbour... https://youtu.be/-UB5v15STc8

I've used Wizard wagon wheels and they are very good.
