Lychgate and gravestones for the church.

I think the locos in the HST set are the same ones as available in the loco pack, but are the coaches new numbers?

Since Stephenson is buried in Chesterfield, I think the TT:120 department should move there. If they need a brand manager, I also live in Chesterfield and would be available for a negotiable fee.🤣

I'm really pleased to see the new poducts since I'm into era 3, 4 and 5. 3 more locos, 2 more Pullmans, 2 wagons, signals and a level crossing. Would have gone for the HST set too if it had been in the Pullman blue livery.

They'll never drop the Gresley Teaks (unless they want to lose alot of support), I'm actually surprised we have got them already since we have locos to pull them.

Deltic, mobile cranes, 4-6-0 tender locos, 2-6-4 tank engines.

Reliveries of existing stock, private owner wagons, Pullman names etc. An A4 in silver or apple green or black, A3 in black.

Conflats, 3 and 5 plank wagons, coke wagons, 6 wheel milk wagons, 6 wheel coaches, 12 wheel Pullmans and dining cars, Merchant Navy / Battle of Britain classes, Era 3 brake vans, TPO, horse boxes, cattle wagons, salt wagons...

I'm surprised Sam didn't moan about the lack of sprung buffers🤣

We need a Fire station, a Bus station or depot and a Taxi booking office to go with our Oxford vehicles. Speaking of vehicles, a petrol station and a mechanics.

I guess the lesson is: don't use Fedex as a shipping option or don't buy from the company if that is the only option.

There won't be any charges, if there was they would have collected before giving you the goods.

I've used them and can confirm they are a great company and has already been mentioned keep the total below £135.

I use Hunt magnetic couplings from West Hill Wagon Works and swear by them. I would suggest you get a mixed pack to start with to see which ones replace the current ones the best, but so far most of the stock uses close couplings with only the Mk1's using extra close ones. Note that magnetics are not really great for shunting only permanent rakes.

I can remember as a kid, going to Beatties in Sheffield and seeing a steam engine going around the top of the shop.

OK, Just a thought since I have a spare Blink Bonny I was keeping for spares or a repaint/renumber.

How diffent are they to a set of A1/3 wheels? Other than colour?

Yes, I'd look for a secondhand loco or buy a new one and break it for spares selling what you don't need.

Try Peter's Spares, but you'll cough at the price. £40 for a set of black A1 tender wheels alone.

I'm still sat on over 21400pts. There is nothing I want at the moment. Waiting for the era 3,4 and 5 stuff to come into stock, though I do have the 3 Duchesses on preorder due to my old members offer.

I'm sticking to era 3,4 and 5 unles they do the Blue Pullman possibly LNER silver livery. Or a Royal Claret livery.

You can bend them out, but to me that looks wrong so I just cut the bottom step off. It seems the best option between no steps, bent out steps which might foul scenery or just lose one step.

Just topside of the red pen/scalpel there are two points which don't appear to add anything or am I missing something?

Great video, but I wonder I Hornby will release a lighting kit so the coaches can be run from track power like the Pullmans.

Personally I hope Hornby discontinue certain items and renumber, rename, relivery etc. I want an A4 in silver, Bittern, Sir Nigel Gresley etc. new 7 plank wagons, Pullmans with new names. An 08 class in LMS black. Never mind actual new models like a crane or 12 wheel Pullmans, 6 wheel tank wagons. I'd actually be quite happy if once a model run has sold out it is gone for a long time if not for ever.
