  1. I've not personally used this line, i do use the Limoges - Poitiers line as my Mum lives 20mins from Bellac, So i sincerely hope that line doesn't suffer the same fate. Sam
  2. Anyone used bahn.com to book train tickets in Germany before?

  3. Going upto Latour-de-Carol on the Portet-Saint-Simon

  4. Just a few days before my epic Taxi, Coach, 319, Eurostar, RER, TGV Duplex, Corail Teoz and TGV journey begins

  5. Pleased to hear so many people signed the Virgin Trains e-petition for the WCML, Hopefully MP's will use 'brain cells' this time

      Can't believe it. The railway gets shot of those responsible for Toyagers & Pantyliners - & then some people want them back??????

  6. 4 Day old laptop, dead daughter board, Only a slight essential part, as it controls wifi, ethernet and usb3

  7. Train tickets to France booked, 06:52 Start at St. Pancras, 19:26 Arrival Carcassonne. The question is, How the hell do i get to St. Pancras for 6am???

      Depends where you're coming from, I'd personally be tempted to get into london at 2am and wait it out.

      Haha, I'm in Chichester. If i can get to Three Bridges, then FCC run services that get me into London early enough

  8. Curse you Eurostar for being so expensive, Paris to Marseille 1st Class is cheaper

  9. Ohh, Don't worry, answered my own question, with 12Euros for 48h delivery, Hopefully Pierre will be around the same cost. Sam
  10. That's fantastic Keith, What are P&P costs like? I'm not sure how customs work, so are there any charges or anything alike? Sam
  11. Dave, your input is most welcome... Even if you do drift off I must admit, i keep looking at Winco, and going to the HAG RE460 Locomotive Page, They look fantastic, but the £260 price tag is quite hard to stomach. Sam
  12. I had noticed they were 3 Rail/AC, and did wonder how easy it was to convert them, if at all. May buy 1 or 2, just to use as static displays however. Sam
  13. Thank you for that, that would be the reason i couldn't see my own thread for a moment haha I'm going to edit my first post with a list of retailers/e-tailers that have been recomended, So if there are any others in and around Europe then let us know. So before i do, This is a UK based site, any one have any experience with Winco? Thanks, Sam
  14. Fantastic Joseph and Brian, I'm a very happy chappy looking through both sites. One in Andorra has a smallish selection, but is right down in the Valley, and when ever i go up, we always stop at Pas, so will be a good excuse to go further. Thanks again, Sam
  15. Hi Stephen, Yes, i'm going HO rather than N. One website i have found is http://www.pierredominique.com/, but there doesn't seem to be too much info on them, User Reviews etc. Thanks again, Sam
  16. Come on Wiggins and Frome, We need a GB Gold and Silver for the Time Trial!!

      Way to go Wiggins and Frome, Gold and Bronze for Team GB

  17. Thanks for the informative post, Given my grandparents live on the Aude/Ariege Border, Customs generally ignore us, Only been stopped once on all the trips i've taken up there in the past 20 years. It sounds like the shop i've been into in Toulouse, but it was some years since i was last there, and there was one in Carcassonne, but again, been some years since i was last there. Do you have a link for 'Million'? Google gives me everything other than model shops when i search. Thank's again. Sam
  18. Hi All, I'm planning on starting to model Modern Era Electrics, so i'm after good websites/shops that stock them. Gaugemaster is only a 15min ride by train, and has a good stock selection, but do seem out of stock on a number of items. Another thing i'm after shops in in and round Toulouse and Carcassone, and towns between the two, and anything in Andorra also, Will be visiting my Grandparents in Oct, so will be able to go to these places. Cheers in advance for the advice. Sam Edit: So a few sites have been recommended, so i'm compiling them into a list: Andorra: Basar Valira England: Gaugemaster (The Engine Shed) Kernow Model Rail Centre Winco France: Pierre Dominique Million (Jura Modelisme) Passionnementrain Trains 160 (For N-Gauge)
