(Just not finished - as per usual). But it'll still never be as good as a Bachmann laser-plotted-from-the- original RTR model, will it !?! Regards, John Isherwood. .... oooh - and a stockpile of original Humbrol Deltic Blue paint !!! Regards, John Isherwood. ... and my predictions for forthcoming RTR? Fowler 4F 0-6-0 (I've just paid silly money on Ebay for an old MPD kit) and an 82XXX 2-6-2T (ditto Kemilway kit)!! Regards, John Isherwood. Fowler 4F 0-6-0 ? Duh! MPD 3F kit I meant.

(Just not finished - as per > usual). I've got all that, plus the etched grills, although the body is Dapol - the all-wheel drive bits came from the abandoned Western project. Abandoned because the Lima body was never going to be as good as the Heljan even with the Brassmasters bits. Just don't ask why a light railway person is modelling Deltics... Which reminds me - must order a set of RoadRailer transfers sometime :-) SignaturePaul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ > <http://railexpressmodeller.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/bachmann-to-produce-deltic-p rototype-model/#more-127> > > I don't believe it!

Fair comment, although I can think of at least one RTR Scottish engine. What's the kit support like? There are quite a few NER types available, mainly from Dave Alexander or DJH.

I checked on the NRM website, but they don't have an internet shop, only mail order. Now, with me in 'cynical mode', what's the bet that they don't make these available mail order, so that to get one of these you'd have to reserve it in advance, then actually go to the NRM to pick it up thereby giving the NRM a hike in their visitor numbers... Of course, I'd be happy to know that I'm wrong and that they can be bought mail order :-) though I'd have one of the standard ones not the special sets. SignatureIan J.

Even so, the NRM is well worth visiting, and they don't even charge admission which is amazing! Shame it's so far oop north though ;-) I first went there over 30 years ago as a kid, and hadn't been since. Then my mother moved to just outside Lincoln, so on one duty visit I scurried up to the NRM (which is much closer to Lincoln than it is to Weston-super-Mare). I was like a kid in a sweet shop!!! SignaturePaul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ > Even so, the NRM is well worth visiting, and they don't even charge > admission which is amazing! Why's it amazing? The NRM is a government funded educational institution and access is and should be free to all. Historically it always was free, until the Tories introduced entrance fees to all museums. It was only a couple of years back that free entry was reintroduced at the inspiration of the Labour government. John. John Turner said the following on 30/10/2007 13:08: > Why's it amazing?

It's amazing from the point of view of expecting to have to pay to do anything these days, even to throw away junk mail shortly! In the context of a government funded educational institution then I guess it isn't free. > inspiration of the *** government. There's a couple of words that don't normally sit together (applicable to any party!)

In August the NRM commissioned Bachmann to produce 504 models of their BSK support coach. It was no problem for me to get one by making a phone call to the National Railway Museum shop at York ( Telephone 01904 621261 ) They had revised their p & p price downwards from the price quoted by some news sources. I will be waiting for the "basic" limited edition one personally. I don't know, but I suspect that will be the same model but without a wooden box.
