    £756 for OO Slaters kits of a GWR Toplight E88 (£250), Toplight D47 (£206) and Toplight C28 (£300)... I think I'll need to spend a very long time lying down in a dark room!!

      I mean, you could get 7.5 David Geen kits in brass for that...

      Other than wondering if the buyer will renege on the basis that he's been stung, you could buy a decent secondhand car for that kind of money.

    4 years after pre-ordering it on the 21/12/2011, I will soon be getting my hands on Bachmann/Rails of Sheffield LMS 10000. Fingers crossed before I go to Manchester Gay Pride...!!

      Fantastic; and according to svr.co.uk, 813 will also be on test trains for the rest of this week.

      That's correct James. Today she debuted with the GWR Toplight rake. She was built for that rake!! :)
