I received my second 2600 set from David last week, this time in silver livery. It is another excellent model and the paint finish is first class. I don't know how he did it but the curve on the green swoop on the front is perfect and couldn't be bettered by any manufacturer. Really looking forward to the De Dietrich coaches.
There has been much debate about RH175 being the last Leyland Olympian chassis and the final conclusion is probably here:

I have to agree that I would have preferred the 121 to the 201 and it is very disappointing to have it deferred indefinitely. This is not a criticism of Paddy, who has done so much for Irish railway modellers, but just my reaction to the news.
