they stopped producing the superior because they werent selling enough. At the time the superior was introduced accucraft wernt that popular due to the lack of performance from the exelsior.
They picked up again at the advent of the caradoc.

I thought that the exelsior was a good engine. Yours works well simon, even on my railway

Staying in sunny (?

) Wales for Christmas, with visiting family who're coming up from down South. Then down to South with the family on the 28th in time for a day in the garden with andysleigh, a compulsary visit to the Blubell

, and then new year with family. Fun, fun, fun, especially if my Edrig turns up. Do you reckon Isabelle is a nice name?

Where abouts down South?

Isabelle is nice I reckon. I'm calling mine Ben-Ben (after my old dog).

Well, it's a bit early to be talking about it (at my last school, some boys throught it to be bad luck to sing christmas Carols before December!

). But anyway. The company that produces 'dr who' toys are bringing out a load of new dalek stuff for the series climax, including, apparently, a 12 inch remote control Davros.

I'd like that, or on of the big 18 inch daleks which responed to voice commands

!

A similar body to a loco that use to work on here: www.freewebs.com/joflrailway

Oh, it's a battery engine. I though you'd bought a live steam chassie and was building a steam loco.

Although, that's a possible idea for the future.

Tip: you'll probably be more likely to get that Edrig if you save up some of the money yourself...it worked for me!

I think it will! just asked and was told " Feck off the moeny tree is closed"

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 9:01 pm

Not in all cases MuzTrem. I saved pu enought money to buy a 'Lady Ann' with all the extras, but my parents won't let me have it, as they belive that I'll be wanting to buy a car in 2 years time.

However, one, I don't want a car, and 2, when my family move back to cumbria in a year's time, I'll probely be either staying on at this school (it's a boarding school) or going to Welbeck Military college near the Great Centeral Railway (wipee!). So I'l be living hundreds of miles away from my family, and the car.

So what't the point of having a car if you can't drive it?
