Hi Arthur,
if there will be spare N10s with the reorder, I would happily take one off you (or even two, if there were sufficient spare).
Regards,
Jonathan
I ordered 4 NER kits from the last batch and Dan is a true gent and consumate professional. My kits arrived very quickly as I ordered when the list was announced. If you ring and speak to him he'll tell you when the kits might be available and payment only goes when the kits are ready. These kits are excellent, rare in terms of prototype and are eye-watering second hand. I for one was immensely glad when Dan started re-doing the 4mm kits even if only on a hobby basis and with longer lead-time. You're never going to be mislead or promised something that can't be delivered. The hobby could do with another 20 Dans.
Always loved this layout when it was being exhibited. I seem to remember a great website at the time as well. I think a key element for me was the relative simplicity of the track layout but with wonderfully observed detail and great attention to detail. No attempt to cram to much in. The back story was also well thought out and added a real dimension to how believable the layout was. Great to see shots of it again.
High level do a kit for the Class 03 that states it is also suitable for middle and later 04s. Their chassis kits are excellent (happy customer).

Seems a short life compared to many UK classes but I'm no expert on the life limiting factors of these locos. What I do know, as a regular Eurostar user, is the new trains are no match from a comfort and finish perspective. Far inferior in many ways although thankfully the toilets are fresher.
Reddiamond,
I like this little layout a lot. The use of the dummy loco fronts is very effective in creating that illusion of additional depth. I also find the method of entry from the loco lift under the terraced houses very nice. Hope to see more photos.

John,
missed this on the old forum.
Love the photos and it looks an absolute joy for watching the trains go by. I love a bit of BR blue and there's a lovely selection there. Reminds me of younger days.
