Good evening all, Hope you are all well. I noticed this on Sawyer Models website before. I am tempted by the Sound Western Pullman split from the train set but I don't think she who must be obeyed would be best pleased. All the best Charles Valentine’s Day Sale!

Class 92, By Accurascale
napierlion replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Thank you Fran, I am going to wait to see if my local retailer, who is an Accurascale stockist receives them, if you decide to distribute to your retail network. All the best Charles -

Good afternoon everyone, Some of you may call this a bargain others may not, but it is about 20% off the RRP for the full set. Sadly not suitable for my own personal layout plus she who must be obeyed would not be very happy with me and would make it known! £759.95 with Free Postage. http://sawyermodels.co.uk/?product=30-420-Bachmann-dcc-sound-western-pullman-train-set or it is available as just the 6 car unit for £675 Free Postage http://sawyermodels.co.uk/?product=30-420l-Bachmann-dcc-sound-western-pullman-6-car-unit-split-from-set Hope this is of some use to someone out there. All the best Charles -
My good lady and I will be attending on Sunday. We enjoyed last years exhibition at their new venue and wish them all the success again this year. All the best Charles

Good afternoon everyone, If you are after the R8121 Hornby Class 66 TTS sound decoder that has just been re-released they are £28.00 at Sawyer Models https://sawyermodels.co.uk/?product=r8121-Hornby-tts-class-66-sound-decoder-speaker All the best Charles -
Good morning everyone, I have already ordered my Northern Belle BG and hopefully it will be here by the weekend. All the best Charles

Good morning everyone, I purchased one of the packs containing a loco, track and rolling stock last year for a friend. He was made up with the gift. It got him started in the world of model railways. I agree not an impulse buy but compared to the standard Hornby train sets they are good value as you get higher quality models rather than the railroad items you get in the standard train sets. all the best Charles

Good morning everyone, Myself and my good lady really enjoyed the Leyland exhibition despite the awful weather. A nice selection of layouts and traders and the catering was superb. Congratulations to Carrowbeg for being awarded best in show by the public, an interesting Irish layout. Steel Republic in Z gauge caught our eye especially as it was British Z. I spent far too much time enjoying Leigh Bridge and it was interesting to see a Network Rail Sound Class 37 running on the layout on Sunday as this is a BR Blue Era layout. My wife particularly enjoyed the N Gauge layout Winter Scene from Chorley & District Model Railway Club. We shall return next year! The next exhibition for ourselves is Leigh Model Railway Society in September. All the best Charles

Good afternoon everyone, An extra layout at Leyland this weekend, the excellent 'Leigh Bridge' by Craig Holt. A DCC Sound BR Blue Diesel Stabling Point. I've not seen this layout for a while so it will be nice to see it again. All the best Charles

napierlion replied to Hairy Bear Digital's topic in Exhibitions
Good morning, I have just heard this terrible news. My friend is operating a layout there this weekend and he has informed me that Digitrains has also been a victim to the theft. My thoughts are with both companies. All the best Charles -
Good morning everyone, I have just placed my pre-order via telephone for 45022 with Sawyer Models as I remember these locomotives from my (much) younger years. They are also going to be doing some weathered versions & other renamed/renumbered versions. http://sawyermodels.co.uk/?product_cat=oo-gauge-limited-editions all the best Charles

Myself and my good lady really enjoyed the exhibition. It was our first visit and we look forward to attending next year. A nice varied selection of layouts and good trade. A well spent day out. All the best Charles
