  1. Evening Star does look good and would make an excellent shelf queen. Buggered if I have space to actually run it though.
  2. Usually they will totally ignore you until you send them a 7 day Letter Before Action letter threatening them with court procedings. They will either pay up, or not turn up at court and you win by default. Its a pain, but its the only way that reliably works. Obviously you get your costs back as well.
  3. I recently listed a second hand Craghoppers shirt for auction starting at £9.95 and thought that if I got anywhere near £15, I would be happy. I then received a message offering £28. needless to say, I leapt at that. I have also listed some N gauge rolling stock BIN with offers invited. Most went for asking price, the offers were within a couple of quid and helped shift everything a bit quicker.
  4. Reminds me of an Eastleigh unit Thumper.
  5. Cant see many people wanting to buy an HST set. Whereas a small diesel would have a lot more appeal.
  6. I would have thought a Class 22 would be a money spinner for them.
  7. Blimey, thats some seriously rapid progress.
  8. Thats a , there were a few bits I could have done with too. A lot of the good ON30 suppliers have dissappeared recently. Anyway, best wishes to their family and hope things work out for them. I would also love to see the range taken over.
  9. I used to use XtrakCAD, but prefer to use SCARM now.
  10. There are two at Sellafield. https://goo.gl/maps/s37mhYTq7AmMYKJN8
  11. I have been looking fondly at the Kiss 0-4-4-0 mallet and I agree it is a delightful and very well detailed model. But at over 2 1/2 grand, my credit card quakes at the mere thought of it. https://www.kiss-modellbahnen.de/spur-1/die-bayerische-bb-ii-br-98-7-zuckersusi/ My Dapol Terrier in Southern region lined green is a stunning model for less than 10% of the cost of the German offering and as such offers incredible value for money.
  12. Excellent. I do think narrow gauge locos look much better as "miniatures".
  13. The first Maplins in Southampton did pretty well as it was based in student land and catered very well for people building amplifiers, PA speakers and radio equipment. There was another electronics emporium just up the road that was known as "stoneheads" due to the fact he didnt open until 11.00 and closed at 4.30. He was the "go to" supplier for project cases, transformers and monster capacitors.
  14. Wll that was an epic read. The new core laser is calling to me and I havent even started drinking yet. Has anyone use Visio as a drawing programme, or will I need to get my head round yet more sopftware?
  15. Have to echo previous comments. Stunning work and the Sentinel is epic.

    Dapol 08

    Apologies for the overtly selling nature of this post. I have a set of laser cut wipers made by Giles for the Dapol 08 if anyone is interested. I purchased these some time ago, but they are unused and still stapled to the instruction sheet. I would like £4.50 posted. Thanks.
  17. The Trader was the first Dover ferry I worked on. The Endeavour behind her was the last. Good times.
  18. Blimey, that brings back memories. Worked a good few crossings on her.
  19. I would love to have an old caboose as a man cave.
