this is all very interesting.

i think it was daft to pick the 37 but hay whats the worst thing that can happen? we get a cheap mech!

I look forward to seeing a price.

"....maybe I am the only one who thought the first Bachmann example looked OK."
I got one and i think it looks fine. but having said that i am really not up to speed with loco's of that period. i accept that a certain generation of modellers is far mor likely to notice problems with the 37 than notice the trouble hornby went to to make sure the 2 different variations of buffer beam could be accomodated on the A1! i think many of us are experts at our own little subject.

I am sitting here broadcasting a repeat of tony blairs apearence before the commons liason comittiee. I am loosing the will to live!

I think models at around £60 for a diesel and £80 for a steamer is about right. anything less than that is excellent value and anything more takes the fun out of it. it becomes a major purchase and not a bit if fun.

Derek betts has mentioned the next releases.

"Roll on the next offers from them - the A2 Pacific and the K1 Class 62000 mogul. Both due for release at the beginning of April."

Where did he find that?? or was he just guessing?

oah no not those yellow ends again.
surely we left those behind in the 90's.
I actually dont care about the tires because we can just swap them with the inevitable ultrascale conversion kit.

Doug i think the title was refering to the Vi trains staff being former Lima employees.
i think the topic was Vi trains form the start.

i dont think its misleading. i think virail will fit fairly well into the slot left buy lima and also it gives us information as to their heratige.
It was also put in inverted commas to help you. i think its pretty clear.
