A box of tasty goodies arrived today from Derails.

There were also some wagons in the box.

Not quite as tasty but still very nice, and they should last a lot longer.

There's another topic about this in the Small suppliers section:

Ordered yesterday afternoon, arrived this morning.

Rapido indeed.

Some recent LRM kits I built last year:

Derails also have some exclusive wagons here .

Anyone else?

The recently introduced code 100 curved points have unifrogs, SL-U76 & 77 .

So far, I seem to like the look and idea of DG Couplings and Dinghams, the only 'downside' of the latter being that I need to join the Gauge O Guild to buy them.

An alternative is available from Pre-Grouping Railways:

of course getting through the bag search upon re entry to my house without my wife noticing I was returning with more boxes than I left with was a trickier task…

You need to plan your packing better, take some empty boxes with you to fill up.

Can someone post a link to the Bachy announcements please.

I'll repost this again

Is this still correct?

MAD MARCH offers at The Hobby Shop, Faversham. Aka a Dutch auction.

PM sent with drawings.

Lots of photos of 302s appear in Dave F's photo topic:

In no particular order:

There may be others I've missed.

Also having to put visible magnets between tracks is not a solution either

Kadee also do an under-track magnet (#308), although it's very good at attracting steel tyred wheels.

A good 'webstore' will have the ability to filter out items not in stock or for pre-order only, among other things.

so it probably seems rude to just appear with a layout topic

No that's fine, much better than joining just to have a moan about something (like some do), but introductions are always welcome.

Welcome to the world of layout building, I'm sure someone will be along soon to offer some advice, I'm more of a small layout person.

I thought all versions had already sold out before the transfer.

While the directory is still there it's worth keeping a link to that.

Well at least one type has the correct smokebox door.

EFE re-released the DJ J94s with an upgraded chassis

I thought the only change EFE made was the motor.

DS226 is D.116 .

You should be able to work that out from this list posted earlier:
