bye bye DJM

I must say I'm super impressed with the model as a whole, it looks exactly like the prototype and runs great too. However for the price, I do think the added detail is of rather poor quality. Compare the pipework to those that come with the latest Bachmann 40, or Hornby 87 for example. They are more...

Are they illuminated?

looking at all his stuff for sale, I think he's just a chancer waiting for some idiot to buy something.

Seems to be their policy now.

Still waiting on mine arriving. I noticed that they have correctly modelled the non driven center wheel a smaller diameter that the driven ones. Nice touch I thought.

We've all seen the new Terrier that will eventually hit the shelves but I wonder if Hornby will do a GER brake van to go with it? Confused and wondering what this has to do with a Terrier? Look up the Edge Hill Light Railway! Jim Did the Edge Hill Light Railway actually get as far as running a trai...

It was sold as brand new. No mention of any damage. They have lots of them in stock still, probably due to it being in pre grouping livery. I think in retrospect I will contact Rails on Monday as it looks to me that it might be a return. I think I can see a fine finger mark on its boiler.

Yes it does! One side on the power bogie, and the other side on the trailing bogie. Why Lima thought in necessary to fit traction tyres to this I'll never know!

Rails used their vast powers of persuasion on me with their super bargains and sold me 4 locos. One of the locos I bought was a Midland liveried 4F. I've not opened the box , but it looks fine. However I can't say the same about the box. Unlike the other 3 locos I bought it isn't wrapped in tissue p...

I thought it was a bit funny that Hornby have been blowing their trumpet about the new Coronation loco about how super wonderful it is, yet the only coaches they can be bothered to make to go with it are some rubbish from the dark days of Margate penny pinching. Even with the 2001 release of the Cor...

Thanks for moving it John. I wouldn't worry about the headings.

What you need is somebody here in the UK who can receive the items for you to check and then post on to you. I take it it's just businesses that are subject to GST, or does it cover person to person items too?

Does it?
Anyway I got an LNER liveried O4 and lined LNER K3, an LMS liveried 3F and 4F. Postage counted for £7.50 which was a bit of a supprise. I expected it to be a flat £4 like Hattons, but theirs goes up when the quantity does.
