Very much looking forward to getting my hands on 7812 now! Also like the inclustion of the hook on the buffer beam to sling the screw link on. Something that seems to be missed on other models of GWR locomotives. 

Hi all, looking for a bit of advice.

I’m planning a N gauge layout and I was wondering which shops are the best for buying locos and stock? I'd rather buy items in stock than have them ordered in.

If anyone can advise the best shops in terms of stock it would be much appreciated.

Walk This Way - Aerosmith

Every Breath You Take - The Police

That track unfortunately the one and only I've got much time for, as a very good pop song. The rest of the discography, hmm. If you're trying to say something to the masses lads, attach a great hook.

 

A bit like Lydon post-Pistols with PiL, loved Rise, not so much anything else.

 

C6T. 

Indeed, I did give the album a listen and thought it was ok but wouldn't listen to the full thing again. One song by BAD I can never get on with is The Globe which the same few bars from Should I Stay or Should I Go Now over and over agin.

Have been listen to this a fair bit of late: 

Had never realy heard anything of Mick Jone's stuff after he left The Clash until a visit to a Tiny Rebel bar where I heard this.

There’s still plenty of steam locos in Hornby’s range that could do with a retool and probably still plenty of demand for it at the moment.

I'm surprised the County 4-6-0 has not yet been retooled to the same standard as the King & Castle. A hole waiting to be filled in the high end GWR 4-6-0 line up as the old Dapol tooling is rather long in the tooth now! 

Have taken delivery of 054 today and it's a cracking model! Very well detailed and very heavy too which will help with traction, especially on the likes of the 42ft flats etc. Very impressed and would even say it's my favourite model of the year.  

Have taken the plunge and ordered the three packs of Red Oxide Taras. Should look good behind my A class or 071 (Should I get my hands on the latter!) 

Sadly not, the only full length Fag Packet Buffet would be a Lima one which is rather rare. The only full length Mk3 Hornby have produced in Fag Packet was R4326, which was a TGS. Which, IIRC, was done as more of a token BFO to go with the Fag Packet Mk3 Sleeper they produced. 

Just took the plunge and ordered a set in VTG Silver, one covered steel wagon we've needed for a while. Looking forward to them! 

A DB red 60 would do me nicely, would like to see the full fat powercars in FGW Barbie or Fag Packet as well.

Blow The House Down - Living In A Box 

I once picked up a then brand new Mainline blue Hornby class 60 in TK Maxx back in the days when they stocked Hornby, Corgi etc for below the RRP. I later picked up a Bachmann Underground Ernie Circle for £5 in there. 

I'm still into my Paramore at the moment, to the point all the album of theirs are in my heavy rotation on Spotify. So, one song that turned into a favourite: 

Must be a new release this year then

Must be has I hadn't seen it! I must play catch up..... How bad of me! 

On DCC the cab light can be turned on or off using F1 on the controller, with the TTS sound chip Hornby haven't done a 66 sound set yet. The only GM sound chip they do is a 67, which sounds very different to a 66! So it might be worth looking at a different sound chip which could be more expensive.  

Can't beat a bit of The Power Station, IMO this is better then the T-Rex version...
