    On the subject of parcel delivery. Just this afternoon had a parcel delivered by my hermes { not Hatton's related }. by a dodgey looking bloak you would not like to open the door to. A book box set i won on Ebay well packed by the seller but still arrived damaged in transit.Give me Royal Mail every time I have had a heck of a lot of parcels delivered and have sent by them with no problems what so ever over the years and am well pleased with there service and have never had a bad postman in the 20 years at my currant address

    HI Just to add my bit.most of the second hand stuff in Auto-Loco i had a look at when in there was tat priced at crazy prices. there must have been about 600 old magazines also priced at a daft asking price. Food and good beer the two life boats at the bottom of the high street well recommended

    Yes your right my friend Sorry about that. I had a couple of Lima 31s witch had good motors and ran very nice. Only have one Hornby 31 now BR Green syp looks good to my eye and runs superb. { After cutting the belt fan drive off }
  16. chris bales

    You know I herd Bachmann had the J15 on the cards. And left it for Hornby We have waited so long for a J15 RTR i do hope it comes along
  20. chris bales
    The J15 I think is going to be a hell of a seller if they get it right. A loco for here there and every wear. Lets hope for the best. Mind you i do have two on order
  21. chris bales

    Just been reading books on Norfolk and Suffolk railways { The mid-Suffolk light Peter Paye } As you say this loco turns up every were. I find it strange we have had to wait so long for a RTR loco of this class. I hope Hornby get this model done some time a long wait a head i think through. Shame I think that Bachmann did not take it up there J11 is a superb little loco Chris
