Re: London Transport museum and Bachmann announce LT S-Stock

The model looks great! Interior lighting would have been desirable. The price is way too much for me though for a 4 car EMU, which is a shame as I would have gone for one if it was below £160.

Re: Best model shop in the UK?

I went to Hattons once when I was visiting my in-laws up North. A major disappointment as already mentioned. A few locos on show in glass cabinets in a run down shop.

Re: NSE southern layout

Love this layout. Great work!
