They might be sold out - I doubt the publisher reckoned on avid modellers across the UK and IE snapping them on on the cheap with no intention of buying a sub

The problem with privatisation, is that you are then paying shareholders and banks / owners, with zero regard or care for services or safety. A well run public transport system provides an excellent return for the state, when well managed and efficiently run. I really, really don't think many / any private operators could do 'much' better of it, and would likely end up costing all of us, and the users, much more.

The beauty of public transport is that the return on investment benefits the state most of all. The only way a private operator can get a good return is by slashing cost and increasing prices as they don't have the 'macro' benefits that a public transportation system bring to the country as a whole. As a confirmed capitalist I do believe public transport should be a public investment but that they should be run with a 'business' bias rather than the current trade unionised logjam. Average 54k salaries are few and far between in any sector these days.

Was a mention in the bargain watch thread too. Great value for money. Clearly subsidized.

Nice review 33lima - I agree, I picked one up for the young fellas 'thomas' selection - well worth the 6 euro!

Re-listing the questions for those lazier than me New ones: 1. What (pre-GSR) railway company had the Irish langauge featured in their coat of arms? 2. What was the only location where all 6 patterns of miniature ETS could be found, and no, it's not Castlerea! 3. How many rail termini had Cork city, like? 4. According to legend, what item did OVS Bulleid propose to put in every CIE loco cab, but loco crews objected to his proposal?
