This was down to printing limitations at the time. there were minimum numbers for each print run. some of the variations would not (in my opinion) sell in sufficient quantities to justify its own print run, so we compromised and asked for build variations from each print run. it gives variety to the customer (if not in running number)

We aren’t running low just yet, there’s no immediate rush!

We have stocks of Redland liveried wagons in five variations

Lucky! its one of our low-level glass cabinets it just happens to be 1 inch narrower than our front door!

The Police, generally, have been pretty good and we've had a couple of people arrested and convicted of shoplifting. One chap is paying off a Hornby HST at about £3 every six months... Cambridgeshire constabulary have said to encourage any other victims to contact them directly with their crime numbers and any details. Our crime reference can be used as a link: CR-35/16600/20

They are also believed to have use of a black people carrier.

Thanks for this, We were hit on Wednesday afternoon. We are aware of four high value items going missing. The police are involved and we have video footage of them actually taking items which is very helpful. We are also reviewing additional resources and I am hoping it will be sufficient to trace them.

An interesting postscript to this. Reported in the local paper. https://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/news/pair-to-face-trial-over-allegations-of-fraud-9100952/

The TPE 68s are happening. The order confirmations were agreed earlier this week. (At least ours were)
