    Was there UK VAT in the £4.20?, if so they should not be charging you VAT as you end up paying VAT on top of VAT, next time tell them you want a VAT exclusive price as it is being exported outside the UK.. I know the VAT on £4.20 is not that much, but if the purchase price was considerably more then it would matter.

    Jonathan, No mention, and the fact that it is recorded as "centre corridor" is not quite correct, centre & side as I recall.

    Staying on the thread but "off NCC plates topic" I agree with previous comments about researching and publishing based on material in the IRRS archive. Bob Clements kept a travelling diary right up to the early 1970's detailing not only locomotives and numbers but train workings along with fantastic details about drivers and other railway staff. Those 1000-odd closely typed A4 pages are a phenomenal resource, match up a couple of his diary pages with his own pictures (which Ciaran Cooney can work his magic on) they would make a fantastic addition to every issue of the "Journal". All it takes are volunteers !

    Russell Currie's immaculate notes are perfectly filed in a filing cabinet in the IRRS archive, and very detailed they are too !
