Chester general. 138 (now 145) will comprise of many summertime specials and the existing timetabled trains. The North Wales coast was very busy in the summer months, so the number of Hornby coaches will be accompanied by various catering vehicles and Period 1 and 2 coaches (which are hand built). I also have over 00 locomotives. My shed is 70 feet long.... So, I won't be using all the locomotives, of course as a number of them have been superseded by the latest models. Oh and yes I have Eastern coaches, Western coaches and Southern coaches, all of which appeared in Chester. Plus, of course a goodly amount of mk 1's I have been acquiring stock for many years. Thank you for your interest. Best wishes Andy

I saw City of London in the maroon livery in Rhyl railway station on a parcels train (ex works? - it was all shiny). Not sure of the date, I just looked magnificent....

As a major fan of Hornby, several years ago I wrote to Simon Kohler why Hornby to not have Stanier Composite coach and Stanier 'open Coaches'. This year I have bought 138 of Hornby's Stanier coaches in Crimson and Cream. That should demonstrate true support. You comments would be appreciated. Thank you Peter Walker (loyal1uk@yahoo.co.uk)
