My two TMC exclusive banana vans. I thought I would have weathered before dispatch. I asked TMC not to weather the labels as these would be freshly pasted onto an already grimy van.

Take care when unpacking your vans! I had a problem with the 2nd van I unpacked. The clear film around the vans have an adhesive strip, this was particularly difficult to open on this van only, the other two vans were fine in this respect. The upshot of this is the van slipped out of my hands and hit the floor ( they don't bounce ). The underframe is badly damaged with bits broken off. I'm not blaming Accurascale, the clumsiness was all mine, but do take care unpeeling the clear film if you find a stubborn piece like mine! I am delighted with the two remaining vans, they are a work of art.

I think we should call them Huge Box! -
I was put off purchasing Bachmann's V2 after reading ( and hearing ) of the troublesome loco to tender coupling. Owning two Bachmann N moguls with their derailing tenders, I don't want to go there again. Also my eye is always drawn to the plug in smokebox door and the subsequent join around the smoke box.

More ' as built ' English Electric Type 3's would be good, but not for my wallet! -
Many thanks for your reply.

Any news on the E1?. it would seem more recent announcements have taken precedence. Was pleased when IOW example No. 4 Wroxall was added and have ordered one.

Ally Pally is always must for my mate and I. We always go on Saturday, but rail strike cancelled that this year. We elected to go today ( 19th ), checking train times from Wadhurst, there was a good service. On arrival at Wadhurst we were greeted with a cashless parking notice, neither of us have a smart phone which is the only way to pay, so being unable to pay or risk a fine we gave up and came home. So the exhibition lost out, as did some traders I always visit, and South Eastern lost 2X London travel cards. Hopeless.
