  1. The redundant apostrophe is on the front page of the book itself.
  2. Seeing Andrew's post I think probably not. Also the DJH Banbury box pre-dates the Alexander kit.
  3. Thanks Andrew, I look forward to reading it. This will be my third J27, the first is in EM in NER livery and the second in OO in BR Livery. Both are from Dave Alexander kits.
  4. Email from Hattons advising my early BR J27 is in my trunk.
  5. Andy is very helpful and thoughtful.He sent me extras of the more delicate parts because the package had such a long journey to Oz thus increasing the risk of damage!
  6. John I suspect you have sorted your signal box requirements but this may be of interest: https://dexterscove.com/store/p71/Great_Western_Signal_Box.html I have built his NER box and am very happy with it.
  7. Or as Frank Muir would say "If at first you don't suck seed try drier grain"
  8. Ignorance is bliss Andrew! I bought one off ebay some years ago and not knowing much about GCR rolling stock built it as it came. I must remember to exclude any GCR afficionados from my next meeting.
  9. Thank you for the information on alternate sources for the A2/2.
  10. To all you lucky people who are enjoying your A2/2 Hattons has just denied me that pleasure.Two days ago an email advised my pre-order had been processed.I wake this morning to an email advising a refund has been processed as the item had been oversold. What has happened to the usually reliable Hattons or does the problem lie with Hornby?
  11. Just received an email from Hattons advising my order for Cof N has been processed. I pre-ordered mine quite late so I presume they have received the bulk,if not all, of their allocation.
  12. I hope you enjoy re-furbishing hand made points as much as i do. It gives me a good feeling of waste not want not and it is much quicker than starting afresh.
  13. John I think you are a little too generous to Dapol regarding the problems as minor niggles.The snapped boiler stay to my mind puts it out of that category. I do understand you probably wanting to avoid the nuisance of returning it.
  14. That is interesting. Although disappointed it is not DofM they have at least chosen a non-streamlined version, and as you say there is a HD connection.
  15. A little disappointed it is not Duchess of Montrose, my first HD model in 1956, but have ordered one nonetheless.
  16. Good to see that some of Harry's stock has been able to find its way from Stafford to Mid-Cornwall.
  17. Tony, if you do decide to use the Airfix/Dapol kit Fox do a very good set of transfers and etched maker's plates.
  18. Is this the Yorkshire spelling of Murray Bridge?
  19. John, I would be very surprised if the GST ended up in the Australian Government coffers.
  20. I used to buy on Ebay until they introduced their extortionate Global Shipping Program (GSP) which costs two to three times what previously individual sellers were charging. Additionally a charge for GST is added at a rate that is well above the actual rate of 10%, even though GST does not apply to second hand sales! Occasionally a seller is found who does not use the GSP but this is now very much the exception. All this makes purchasing D&S kits on Ebay a very expensive proposition for us antipodeans.
