Maybe I could be tempted if they did not have the year on them.  It does rather give them a limited shelf life :)

If they were not dated I could re-use them every year (if I had a suitable Christmas display.) However I guess that is not what Peco want. I imagine they want people to get tied into buying year after year to collect a set, or throw them away after Christmas.

Hi Graeme

Yes agreed about the date given it a shelf life I'm wondering if the date is easily removable or could be removed easily I can see it being as successful as the cocala items that hornby have done as the collectors side of them I might be tempted but I'll wait and see

Thanks
