    Are those outside framed boxcars still available? I know stuff is done in limited runs these days and just restarting out in American 0 gauge from H0 my knowledge is limited,also are there any traders in the UK that sell american 0 gauge models.

    Lots of Bedford RLs about the place then ...great project for a bit of military modelling as well ! as an aside my RL fitter truck could easily go off the clock (speedo) on the motorway very handy when on your way back from exercise!!!

    Wonder how long they will be moving coal? it seems a dying industry over here with the rush to green energy,and with CSX closing some of its coal branches over there it seems coal is in serious decline.take pics while they are still running.

    On the subject of loco,s ACE trains have released an M7 and are also producing a Duke of Gloucester and Evening Star as well as a GWR Prairie! Looks like a boom time for Tinplate trains!! and a lean time for my wallet!!!!

    Yes, just had my newsletter from WJ Vintage and there is a statement from the owner of Darstaed and he has stated that the UK distribution side is now closed, but that he is now fulfilling orders from the Netherlands and its business as usual. hope it doesn't disappear as they make some decent models and they are the company that got me into 3 rail in the first place !....
  22. mervyn
    Have recently heard that darstaed have stopped production don't have any more info at the moment ,but on a positive note ACE Trains are going to produce a Warship now that it seems darstaed have packed it in !....
