You'll be lucky to get one. Joep told me in October "Because of retirement I produce limited numbers for the EU only (mainly Germany and the Netherlands).".
Other suppliers of coal-fired boilers are available.

Re: 16mm scale "Linda"
Looks great! Brass name and works plates from MDC in about six weeks, about £26 a pair, and they were matched to the full-size plates and look great. To the best of my knowledge, other than when it was black (!), Linda has never had a black cab front. Blanche certainly did though, reminding us that ...

Re: Best paint or other medium for real wood
Nothing wrong with Humbrol now that production has come back to the UK. In particular, gloss red now goes on and covers better than it has probably done in the last 20 years. Great stuff, I use nothing else for detail work. And at about £2 a tin it is always worth using a new tin for anything even r...

Re: Early Roundhouse spirit fired locos
Bio-ethanol may be your friend. It is an excellent substitute for meths and is available in the UK from DIY sheds where it is sold as patio heater fuel. I use nothing else these days as it burns hotter and without noxious fumes. I can't help with run times, other than to say that I have had my Dylan...

Re: Double sided sticky pads which actually work?!
A lot of the thin stuff from pound shops is, as you say, neither super nor glue .... I remember when SG first appeared. Early 1970s, I think. It was great. It would stick anything to anything and let off smoke as it dried. When I worked in London we glued a 50p coin to the pavement outside the offi...

Re: Double sided sticky pads which actually work?!
I had the same problem and gave up with sticky pads years ago. I now use Sellotape brand velcro. Works well, and it pulls apart and sticks back together!

Re: Dual Gauge Peco SM32 Track
Why don't companies make 3 rail more common... A Peco G45 point costs about £65. Adding the third rail would add to that cost, so they would probably be nudging £100 each. Also, instead of having only two options (left and right) there would have to be four: Left-hand third rail on left, left-hand ...

Not New Zealand but near Bill in the Powder River Basic in Wymoing, USA (between Douglas and Gilette) my wife and I were enjoying (well, I was) a warm (30degsC) and sunny June afternoon photographing the many 15,000 ton coal trains. Heading back to our hotel I mentioned "It looks a bit black ov...

Re: Yatton Models - Vale of Ffestiniog
And then there was this:
The doors lift off their hinges and can easily be swapped around. Quite why somebody thought the fuel tank needed a vented door is a mystery to me.

Re: Yatton Models - Vale of Ffestiniog
Something odd with those doors. The two with vents at the right hand end should be in positions 5 and 6, not 5 and 7.
The little vent on door 4 is for the exhaust from the cab heater.
The two sides are not mirror images of each other.

Re: Yatton Models - Vale of Ffestiniog
I absolutely agree with everything Tingewickmax wrote. Mistakes and errors happen, and the measure of the supplier concerned is not that it happened but how they deal with it. I asked above if you had contacted Yatton to at least give them a chance to correct the problems before being rubbished publ...
