Cheers marks. It's understandable that the market is small but for cheaper items like freight stock and kits it's great to have them on the doorstep. Have liberated four kits from Hawkins street so far, and plan to pick one up on a weekly basis while they're still available. Will have a think about what can be ordered in too. Fair play!
Early teens is very cheap, considering that a pair of bachmann autoballasters in Irish livery is 110 euro. Could that bring the economies of scale better in line?
I'm not so cheap though
Any idea if she is to be released into the wild this week? Might have a few days off and wouldn't mind a video. Any info from credible sources will be much obliged!
Thats a real top job Kirley, well done on that as it looks like the hours of work you put into the kit was worth it, especially around the cab fronts and roof.
Best of luck with the venture lads, €130 for a kit is very reasonable. Bachmann have a lot of 0-6-0 steam locos out or in the pipeline, might be worth a look. Then look at spares for the front truck...
Beat me to it! Got the email myself. Plenty of 201s there including the almost rare River Shannon.
So tempted to plump for the Bachmann Tinsley 20s twin pack if I had the cash and not had two Dapol Westerns, Heljan Garratt and two 071s to buy!
