north-pilton-works are building me a Guards van and am looking forward to receiving it. Has anyone else had one from there?

I ordered a rail bus set in August 2016 and still not received it...
I have phoned him in October, November, December and finally last week and each time I am told "its on its way today/tomorrow" - I have now today just asked for my money back.

I have just received the guards van, I am impressed with the detail and quality. Delivery was delayed but I did have an email telling me they were awaiting axels from their supplier.

If I were to be picky then the paint work isn't that smooth and the stove chimney does not exhaust through the roof but overall the van is great, illuminated internally by an LED and glowing stove and very good braking details and steps. Quite wide compared to millie but a guard has to see the train.

Interior has stove, brake wheel, Desk with drawers and chairs. Flash won't let me get a good photo of interior.

Maybe Ming the merciless has an anti-interior photo ray. Is this part of an evil plot? Find out next week! Same Time, Same Station..

Good one Brian
