Yup, and combined with getting older, bleurgh.

Another inteteresting and challenging one, @Sean! Think that @LNERW1 is also working on a peat bog style railway. You could butt heads for some brain-storming.

Murphy Models already have those in the pipeline. My favourite livery on the Badger! Awesome as always, @ttc0169.

I hear it’s already been loaded into the vans:

Can’t be too many left available to order at this stage, so it’s great that you got one.

Is that the same Midlands Model Railway Club as mentioned in the Model Rail Baseboards and Kitchens thread?

Not sure on the pre-order deadline. I think that I pre-ordered about a year ago. He expects them to be completed for April 2026. I don’t know whether that means produced or delivered. I did so via email as I only log on to FB once or twice a year. Derek is on here as @GSI345, but doesn’t log on too regularly. Will drop you a mail, now in a minute, @skinner75.

Yeah, these will be something special!

I should have copped on, with so many wheels “missing”!

Another PD2, this one for auction, ending in five days: https://www.ebay.es/itm/389075371676

Because I post the Euro prices? Oh… Kay… Moving on… MIR 071 kit for €87 plus postage and import taxes. The title says 071 Class on the main eBay page, then changed to 80 Class when viewing the listing, but it looks like an 071 in the photos: https://www.ebay.es/itm/286848025940 The seller does mention that they’re not sure if it’s complete. Bachmann Class N / Woolwich / Mogul in CIE green for €162 plus postage and import fees: https://www.ebay.es/itm/205784653411 That does look rather nice!

Even though I like my buses, I’m not fully up to speed on this one; CMNL UKBUS 6005, a Dennis Enviro 400 in Stagecoach Manchester plain white, for €220 EURO: https://www.ebay.es/itm/146891158698 From the seller’s description: “UKBUS6005 - Stagecoach Manchester Plain white Hi I’m selling my mega mega rare Northcord Dennis Enviro 400 model in plain white livery. Model is in very good condition and comes complete with outer box. It is believed to be a limited edition of only 22 produced for GB models in Flixton. It is also advertised as GB BUS 0001. There are a number of differences to the recently released UKBUS6201, such as rear vents, no smoking decals on windows and different rear lights. There isn’t a certificate present “

Spoke with Derek yesterday to see if there were any updates in the KC model. He estimates April 2026 for completion. May be of interest to @JasonB, @Rob and @skinner75. My cousin sent me this screenshot from a Facebook post back in July…

O Gauge Class 66 kit for €87… https://www.ebay.es/itm/177457279788 Has me wondering how easy it would be to bash one of these into a 201, rather than attack a more expensive Dapol one next year!

Rest in peace, @DERAILED.
