    Not so far away either from the looks of it.

    Just a quick heads up. Spoke to Elspeth last week. If you're waiting for paint, there are some supplier delays holding things up but the matter is in hand. Hopefully we'll see this resolved before too long. Dave.

    Well you're going to have to; they're not made yet!

    Wonder if they will cover the Scottish Trader variants with cupboard doors? Pretty much signature equipment on pre-1930 Scottish metals.

    I'm not sure this range will be as uncoordinated as this first tranche of releases might suggest. I suspect interesting developments are afoot that we are as yet unaware of where Oxford are concerned

    Wait until you have a depraved trip around it... Dave.

    Got a '54 Duke though by the time Larbert's ready it'll probably be a different gauge anyway! ;-) D4

    The whole issue of "authenticity" is fraught with peril when virtually every loco and every living thing (as perceptively noted earlier) has been constantly renewed through its life, much in the fashion of Trigger's Broom. Whilst it WILL look more authentic in BR dark green with the Kylchap and Witte deflectors, it really does pale into insignificance when placed on the scale of real world events one should be angered or concerned about today so let's just enjoy the fact we have a rejuvenated A3 back on the job without getting our collective Alans in a twist about it, ladies and gents. What say you? Dave.

    Snow? If only; the raindrops currently battering off my conservatory roof appear to be wearing diving boots.. Nice buffer stops mind.

    Looks like 6851 got her blue paint most likely during 1970.

    Oh, he's not the only deviant in the group... ;-)

    Are there future plans beyond the Furness/Lanky prototypes? Not rushing you naturally with these just being launched but there are a fair few 'niche' companies deserving of attention. :-) Dave.
