That was good Steve, lovely little loco and sound too. I'm currently staying a few nights with my cousin up the tiny little lane opposite Waunfawr Station on the Welsh Highland Railway. That uses narrow gauge Garratt locos !
A thing of beauty that... The mail order thing could be down to a few factors, just warehouse space(hattons moved to a bigger home not long ago so have space to have more stock hanging around), insurance probably plays into it in that if you've paid for it you own it really so they have to pay to cover your items being stored which might attract a different premium to them storing their own stock... lots of reasons they operate differently and while its annoying (also not in the UK) it's not the end of the world, just means the post man leaves us more presents to open with glee We also already pay 20% less due to VAT reduction and the higher the value we import the more chance those naughty boys at customs have of slapping import duty on our purchases. Had it happen before with some more expensive items all bundled up
Great looking locomotive. Hope you have a great Christmas. Thanks for sharing. Dave
