Probably gets deleted from one users account and just appears on another account a few days later. Thats right, pity it wasn’t a mk 3 with no retention tank.

It might not be cost effective for just one set of DVDs but maybe a worthwhile future investment. A region free DVD player can be got for under $40 including shipping. (not necessarily recommending this one just giving it as an example) http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ultra-Compact-Multi-region-Supports-Included/dp/B0080H77PQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347741868&sr=8-1&keywords=region+free+dvd+player

Very nice and varied collection you found there, thanks for sharing

Great, sounds like it will be worth the trip up. Its actually been a while since I was at a show

What radius curve did you use on your helix?

Doubt it, they still wouldn’t have TPWS.

Does anybody have any more information on this?

Yes, it was reported on other forums that they entered service this morning. Those EGVs do look good in the enterprise livery. I wonder will they now remove all of the HEP equipment from the locos.

After spending nearly 90 minutes trying to fix a soldered nut and bolt that I screwed up I finally got the interior divisions and the roof done. So many learning moments but the more it looks like a coach, the more it feels like it is worth it.

I bought one of these on ebay, the handle is very sturdy but I think the key to this is the blades. They seem to be much better and sharper than anything I have ever gotten in a model shop. Not bad for € 10 for a handle and ten blades http://www.ebay.ie/itm/310392956414?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 http://www.ebay.ie/itm/310363218803?var=610046047936&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Very nice

I would be interested in getting 4 or 5 but it depends on when they are out and how much. I have a big bill to pay to Mr Murphy first:p

That looks great, anybody got any thoughts for a chassis?

Well at least you don’t know the result of the other two races.

Ok so we have all raced model trains a some stage , but laying 10 miles of track for a race takes it to a whole new level. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Zh5d8nx738E
