Kernow O2 Please excuse me if this post is slightly off-topic, but a group of LSWR modellers seemed just the place to ask; I model the LSWR in eatly Grouping days, and wondered if any of your ardent pre-grouping LSWR modellers had bought a Kernow O2 in 'Southern' livery, and were now thinking of disposing of it? If so, could you please send me a private message (PM)? I apoear to have missed-out on this version. Many Thanks, Andrew

Apart from eBay, which is sanctioned and not available here....

Just to mention, I am the latest victim of this man Paul Dunn's ongoing scam. He took money from me for models he admits he neither has nor can produce, and will not refund it. I have spoken to him in person, and he is quite blatent. His phone number is 01823 461961.

Thank you for the information, Gentlemen. A sad state of affairs. Andrew

Dear All, I am reluctantly forced to commence a civil action for recovery of monies from Cooper-Craft of Taunton. Here is not the place to discuss details, but I would invite anyone who needs to join me in a similar action to contact myself directly at andrew.emery@hotmail.com. Again, an open forum is no place for us to discuss, so please do not post. The invitation is for private emails only. Regards, Andrew Emery

...and that's the last I heard. So, if anyone else has any Roco HOe Mariazellerbahn Electric locos for sale, please let me know. Thanks.

It was an old NER tradition originating from the 1904 stock, requiring the driver to drive standing-uo, for vigilance.

Several Steve. How many do you have? My email address is andrew.emery@hotmail.com Andrew

Wanted - Roco HOe OBB Mariazellbahn CC Electric Locos Please either send me a private message, or reply below with how I can contact you. Thanks, Andrew Emery

Thank you for your reply. To assist, let me share with you that Hattons have sent an email to, Presumably, all of us who pre-ordered the Second Batch intermediate liveried loco - I had three on order - stating that the RRP had risen to £209, but that Hattons wouls sell them for (I think) £178. As the original forecast price had been £160, even this was therefore an increase; £54 to me. I would have liked three Manning Wardles, but with good r-t-r locos on the matket for just over £100, and uncertainty - lets call it uncertainty - regarding Heljan's quality control, they are a lot less attractive now for those of us not actually modelling the L&BR. Hence my sharing of the RRP £209 news, which was intended to be helpful, not (surprisingly) conroversial....

Hattons announced the RRP rise 24hrs ago. You don't know everything, it would seem. The rest of us have been enjoying an exchange of useful information, but if you have nothing useful to bring to the discussion other than to be argumentative, probably best that you refrain from posting.

You assume wrong.

How?

I read that Heljan are increasing the price to £209 per loco. That's a lot of money for a model with 'issues'. Have cancelled my three pre-orders, and must learn to live without them.
