be nice if they did, maybe wake Heljan up and stop them re-releasing the same kit at inflated prices LOL

Did you miss the announcement in 1920?

And shepherds abiding in the fields, watching their flocks by night, brought some lambs down to place upon the hillsides.

But they were no longer small and far away

And three kings came bearing gifts, Bachmann, Hornby and Lima ...

And lo! They were sore deafened until the angel shouted "Set CV171 to 2!"

Three wise men from Yorkshire came, saw valuable gifts and took them away

That sounds more like "wise GUYS".

Joking aside, I can understand a bunch of guys making a pilgrimage to Swindon or Gloucester.

A number of members of this site could confirm they knew how to build locos there (and railcars / DMUs).

...at Paddington. All change please.

Marmelade sandwiches extea....

Peruvian Bears compulsory for families by the name of Brown.

The pasta is good but skip the prawns.

Sorry for the mess.

or .......... drag a long steel ruler across it and wait for the "ping"

remove your shoes and socks and walk about youll find it in no time.

Carpets are full of such tiny modelling items which become strangely invisible even when down on hands and knees. Tie a piece of porous material (say a discarded female item) over the end of your vacuum cleaner open nozzle, switch on and traverse the carpet. Many wonderful things will be picked up!

Smokebox number too.

Gary I thought a project like that would have been right up your street, unfortunately for me the Caley weren't big on outside frame locos

Wouldn't the chimney be out of gauge?

Honestly Steve, I really want to. I just can't think of anything to make out of one

'pink don't stink' was the catchprase for a 50s brand of paraffin-it stunk
