I see that Smyths UK will have them next month, for any of our UK based members. https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/construction-and-cars/storage-and-display-units/5-level-minifigurine-display-case-with-led-lights/p/220532

That's a lovely ballast wagon, too!

So sorry to hear about Stephen's passing. My condolences.

Were the TK cabs really that much lower than other trucks? I know that they were low, but compared to the DAF 2800, Scania 110 and ERF LV, they look a bit too low, in model form. Some comparison shots. Sorry to hijack the thread a bit.

Lots of followers, like 20 or 30, so there may be some bidding wars towards the end.

Maybe a mod could merge this with the eBay Watch thread. Nearly sure that IRM had the Cravens snack cars for €50 odd each only last year. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/coaches/products/1509-irish-railways-craven-snack-coach

LOL, Okie dokie!

I'm still saying that! Let's get him and teach him a lesson for offering a fair price!

Hell yeah, let's make him send THREE parcels instead of just one. It's not as if he's already doing a favour with the fair prices. Let's triple-shaft him.

Lads, lads, you're making this way too easy for him. Could you at least demand that he splits the last coach between the two of you?

Ah here, would you ever take the lot and make the poor chap's life easier?

I wouldn't be quite so quick to knock hydrogen combustion engines. All it takes is a small network of filling stations to start offering it as EVE's eat into their revenues, and it has a foothold. We have an EVE for work. Far cheaper than fossil fuel power, and pollution is moved away from the roads and into the electricity generation instead. However, I doubt I'm the only one who feels a little dead inside every time I drive an EVE. Aside from glaring limitations placed by battery size and charging times, I crave the sound of a combustion engine and the feel of a manual gearbox. Putting all of ones eggs in one basket is never wise. The future is likely to be balanced between EVE's, FCEV's, hydrogen, and traditional fossil fuels.

Absolutely can't wait for hydrogen cars! As @Broithe says, if the hydrogen is generated using excess capacity in the system, happy days! Keiichi Tsuchiya taking the hydrogen Corolla around Tsukuba:

Plenty of space to "mill" about in there...

From when until when did each of the five liveries operate?

Is that actually a blue Tara, or a red Tara with blue graffiti? It's the lid that is throwing me off. It's definitely not a G1 lid, and the G2 lid change and red repainting probably happened at the same time.

As many as you can get your hands on. Ten or twenty.

Ordered some from him a couple of years ago but he sent me something else instead. Returned the order and never heard from him again. Assume that he doesn't have any left, and it's just a mistake on his website.

How about those Bell reefers, @Arran? Are we likely to see another run?

A friend just arrived for a week's holiday and brought some early Birthday presents!!!

About spamming the forum with multiple threads, or the final price?
