  1. Far too dry Noel! In all fairness looks Fab! As they say Stone walls and the grass is green, I wish I was on the......
  2. Well the brokers ( I work as one) have to pay for the systems to clear these through customs, Train the staff etc etc. Some fees I have seen charged can be little as a 5 right up to 100's Brokers have to maintain a Deferred account with customs and might have anything from £1000 to vast amounts of cash sitting in the customs account each month in order to pay the VAT for the import straight away to HMRC. This then gets collected before delivery and transferred back in. More Staff needed to do that. tough to back out that sort of cash, With Post service you may of had better luck getting is snuck through.
  3. Ooooooooh nice! Still have 3 of the old versions to build....
  4. Tried to order a Blue MN from Bure Models, No courier Option to Ireland. Cannie get it from them, hopefully the email I sent asking them if they are able to post it using RM then I might be able to go ahead with the Purchase! The LMS had one for €199 about 10 notes difference from the UK price.
  5. Brexit well worth it for this change then..
  6. perfect! you only need Smell of the engine and sound of the Swallows to make it!
  7. I got two , Bluebell and BR Crested one. I have a soft spot for Bluebell to remember a fab day out with my Dad in 2016 on the BB Railway itself and the loco was in Steam in Horsted Keynes in the Bright sunshine! She looked Lovely!
  8. Would EFE take this yoke on at some stage I wonder?
  9. Or like the 2nd run of the GT3 the next Batch produced might have these little things addressed and potential buyers would be happy out! I'd still love one but it comes to a point where now I have just way too much than I will ever in Reality probably use.
  10. could be True, Not gonna take away the goodness of this model by going on about it but this is pretty well loaded and a Bit more! Front and Back Parts Line up nicely!
  11. I See the Height Difference between the Tender and the loco Running plates is still apparent. Looks lovely though, it really does!
  12. Feic it , now 3 Phase and battery is the new thing. Just getting used to DCC too.
  13. Good Answer but Full load pictured on these two examples. Usually Edwardian would be having a fanny attack about these little things.
  14. Current Project, 1/48 scale Mountfleet Roundtable Mine sweeper. Tis a bit big!
  15. Very nice! Seems a wee bit of height difference on the loco and Tender. Is this a pre production jobbie?
  16. Case here for Marks to up their game and stock to save us going across the pond. Especially for Evergreen, KS and Balsa products.
  17. Have not used Address pal since Jan, They were Brilliant before that TBH and dead handy to collect from the local PO too. Now just use the postal direct and so far so good. Loads of Basking Sharks around Achill yesterday, 42 of them in fact, Must be a fab sight to see. Must drag the kayaks up there at some stage.
  18. I see what you mean but if the shops are not wiling to do this then they are loosing business and maybe they can afford to do so without dealing with overseas. Most stuff also has COO on the boxes etc so it should not be that hard to rasise an invoice with such detail. Narrow minded was perhaps a bit harsh!
  19. 5 notes aint too bad for processing Look for lads that use the Royal Mail / An Post better chance of getting through without the 23%
