How on earth did he manage to sell that as a good idea to his wife/partner/significant other!?!

Brilliant photos @ttc0169 - there's a lovely variety of wagons on show there.

I've ordered a pair of Supertrain Cs. There may be a couple more to follow in due course, but I've made my initial bid!

I'm with Mol, in that I suspect it might be to do with the fact there was a lot of messaging on a new account. eBay really doesn't like messaging, principally because it suspects that users are trying to arrange deals outside of their system. It's just about them maintaining a monopoly. Fingers crossed, it's just a temporary glitch and you will be unblocked in due course.

The magnesite factory and the mine buildings are very impressive @mfjoc!

You bet we are! I find this kind of thing absolutely fascinating. One day, I hope I am lucky enough to have a decent sized layout to do this sort of thing myself, but in the meantime, I love to follow others who have that ability to operate such a system. I like that 'American' concept of having a team of operators who each perform a role. I might crack under the pressure though!

Thanks for posting all the fantastic photos fellas

What an amazing space @patrick! I love the plan. This is going to be a 'proper' railway I'm really looking forward to seeing this project develop.

Thanks again. I need to do that on a couple of my 141/181s too.

Cheers Paul. Always best to ask an expert!! Removing the DART flashes from 227 would be a bit of a fudge which might do a job for casual observers.

It looks like 215 seems most suited to mid 1970s timeframe. But I may end up ordering all three Supertrain ones and backdating the other two!

I've had a couple of weeks away from here ('real life' has been incredibly hectic), and I'm hit with this news when I come back!!! Thank you @Warbonnet and friends! How am I going to keep my excitement under control until 2028 though!!

You've got a lovely space there @The Derry Road, and have made a great start. I'm looking forward to seeing the layout develop and can't wait to see full length trains running! Keep up the good work There's some very impressive track formations on offer there!

The grain wagons look fantastic and really complement all your existing stock. Always love to see photos of the layout
