    £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...

      Definitely not Bargain Hunt...

      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.

    A wonderful day at the SVR, seeing GWR 813 head her first test loaded train since returning from overhaul. https://www.flickr.com/photos/svr_enthusiast/sets/72157671593157822

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

    2. Garethp8873

      Garethp8873

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