Well my credit card is taking a beating. Having taken delivery of a kit for an MR 3f, and indulging in a retailers pre Christmas sale, hours later, they announce this:
http://www.hattons.co.uk/directory/versiondetails/6305/heljan_oo_gauge_1_76_scale_2_8_0_0_8_2t_class_u1_beyer_garratt_lner

Now, £300+ for a model that's bound to spend most of it's time sat on a shelf (though the high price tag is understandable given that the prototype was a one off and only worked in one VERY specific part of the network) BUT....

I'm tempted to get one because
1. I like my oddities and

2. The one specific part of the rail network the prototype worked IS EXACTLY WHERE I'M MODELLING with Dukeswood!

I won't repeat what I said on FB.  Relevant to my interests?  Err, yes.  But happily about 15 years too late to appear on Rufford, so £340 saved there.

You say that now, just wait until you've got your domicile sorted.....
