    I would love to get my hands on MM 141 in B&T or Supertrain - but they are as available as hens teeth at the moment and when they are its hard to justify the inflation from original RRP.....

    Hattons have one in every six or nine months. I picked one up for GBP £98 in like-new condition a few months back. I see the scalpers (that's what the Hot Wheels collectors call them, at least) asking for twice that on eBay.

    I think the RPSI stock may be sold out now. I think but am not sure, I got the 2nd last one for a friend.

    Awwww.

    When I bought my sets, I also bought two as Christmas presents.

    Fergus was so helpful with hiding any RPSI evidence from the outside of the packages etc, but he did say that stock levels were low, and that there may be a possibility of a run with three different running numbers if they sold the last of the Cravens.

    I asked if they'd be doing a GSV and he said no, that they'd be doing models which currently exist as tooling would be too expensive for a limited run like that.

    Hint hint hint, IRM, pleeeeeease do some GSV's.

    An online shop has no online ordering facility for the models, just stone age 1960s style Mail Order Forms that were common in Britain in the 1960s, with payment by cheque, postal order, or postal money order. Sorry for moaning but that's just jurassic beyond fossil trading. An online shop that uses paper, post, and takes days to place an order via snail mail. 🤣 Do they not realise folks don't write cheques anymore, nor put paper in envelopes, stick stamps on envelopes and then physical walk to a letter box. Some UK model suppliers are the same, paper catalogs, send SAE for price lists, don't take credit cards not online boilings. Lost in an 1950s world. I'm a member or RPSI and know its staffed by wonderful volunteers but even tiny clubs have online payment options using PayPal, or other eCommerce stores in a box. It's so easy to set up. At least they have moved to Eventbrite for some of their rail tour bookings, but only a few years ago it was post'n'paper too. Its 2019 after all. 

     

    I didn't bother with any of that.

    I emailed and asked for their IBAN, made a transfer and received my coaches in the post.

    So simple.

    I didn't get any of these as I'd prefer to get etc original livery in blue.

    What's the purpose of the drawbar? I watched the video but they did not appear to be coupled very closely with the bar (or is it closer than the NEM TL couplers?) Is there a cosmetic instanter coupling to attach to the hook (which of course are visible in either scenario drawbar or TLs)?

    The drawbars just couple the wagons a little closer than the standard issue tension lock couplings, and look a lot less funky... Not as close as some people on here have their Kadee couplings, but it looks slightly better than the TL's. You can kind of see the difference in the video.

    They look great. I notice the bogies look different to the photos of the samples shown earlier in the thread.

    Can you confirm the springs etc are unpainted?

     

     

    I think that the Tara Mines coloured bogies were just for the unfinished samples.

    Whether to Weather or Preserve Pristine - Quite the Quandary!

    There's nothing wrong with doing both but my initial impression was that you were concerned about weathering models which are in limited supply. If you have enough models for running and some for display purposes also then that's fine. If you refer back to the opening of this thread you will understand that my suggestion was based on the dilemma that I believed you were in.

    It wasn't so much of a dilemma, rather that I was looking for people's opinions.

    Maybe my OP wasn't too clear, but I was asking what members feel, not what they feel that OTHERS should feel, hence my surprise at some of the borderline-condescending type replies.

    There's already one forum member who snipes non-stop, but has a crew ready to shoot them down most of the time, so that's all good.

    No need for others to start down that line, too.

    Horses for courses, as some have said, and it's acceptable for different people to have different takes on model railways.

    Again, I'm just curious as to what members feel, not what they feel that others should feel.

    Wow is it really worth that ?

    It's only "worth" what the highest bidder has to spare.

    I saw somebody selling 111, 8112 and 113 as a set for around €1200 EURO the other day. Not "worth" it for me, that's like over a month's wages, but to somebody it may very well be!
