Always ask the exhibition manager Can you plug a kettle in along with the layout. That usually ensures a comment ot two.

Now to find the other parts of the giant Airfix kit.

A superb accurate model of a very small but popular class. Heljan have captured the look and feel of the prototype perfectly.

As regards to the Australian with the "rare" Princess loco follow this link and it may explain a lot ta ok pls see this link ,http://www.dutchhrca.nl/priceguide.htm#PrincessElizabeth :banghead:

There is no way this can be a Hornby O gauge as it was nevre in BR green. It is a damaged 00 version.

A further reply from this seller: "hi works fine i can not see anything missing . r u shore it the right one as do you have pick on what it should be like , thanx for your input "

No the model is based on a PROTOTYPE used by the DB in the sixties to reduce costs on branchlines. Brekina have made an Ho working model. So not every strange item [ to our eyes ] that appears on Ebay is "expensive" tat just because people do not know the prototype.

Actually the term " Code 3 " has been used for years in the die-cast fraternity before ebay was even thought of. I believe it started when Matchbox Models of Yesteryear were repainted/altered to be different from the bog standard factory finish jobs.

Had that last week on the way to change the car. Her excuse honest ---- did not see you I had my umbrella up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! luckily there was no mark on the car and the salesman did not try to make out there was one there which was`nt there before etc. I will not say what i nearly called her and said to her but the anglo saxon vocabulary was running through my mind.

Slight problem with that -- I swear some councils make the bays small on purpose to get more cars in----- or forget that cars are generally wider than they were say 5 to ten years ago . Being of a cynical nature I feel that number one is possibly the main reason.
