Its been a good week

I can't tell you just how pleased I am to have got one of these at last


Not taking the opportunity when it was readily available has been a real regret ever since. Having recently sold some model engines that have sat on the shelf for far too long there was only one thing to convert the proceeds into. Yes, it was a bit over the odds off Ebay but not excessively so, but having now got it I'm truly well pleased.
Then today this finally arrived from NZ

Taking the opportunity to get the 'special' I did get caught for the VAT and service charge - £19.78 - but even so it worked out at just over £4 cheaper than I could have got it from Hannants and the book is a real bonus.
There's going to be some long time at the bench ahead I guess
