I wonder if any of you can help me in a remote request. I am trying to get hold of a model of a 'Tilbury Tank' similar to the 'Thundersley' as in Bressingham Gardens near Diss in Norfolk, but with no name or number on. I can't afford to spend a lot, but have seen one kit for one at around £300. I regret to say that is way ott of what I can honestly afford to pay without appearing tight with money. I am on low rate of Incapacity Benefit, so have to be careful with the pennies, never mind the pounds. As long as it is not too big or too expensive, I would seriously LOVE to own one. Maximum size would have to be G gauge please.
