Totherdale Light Railway

I received a loco kit from Japan this week which was sent SAL and was very pleasantly surprised not to have to pay duty, VAT and the iniquitous fee charged by Royal Mail. Parcels from the US sent by UPS don't seem to get charged, US Mail parcels do. Like others, I get incensed with the Royal Mail attitude. Whereas I don't like the concept of Duty and VAT, they are, to a degree, justifiable. What is not justifiable is Royal Mail charging

Rod, all very true but I am more intrigued by what the kit was! I recently bought one and darent even contemplate building it- Kiso Bush 0-4-2 Baldwin

It is a World Kougei kit for 6.5mm gauge for the Fordson engined Ashio Copper Mine tramway loco. Arrived Monday, running up and down by Tuesday afternoon. Although it is at present 6.5mm gauge, it will be a simple matter to regauge it to 6mm gauge to run on the loosely based Sand Hutton layout I have in (early) gestation. If you are at Kegworth this weekend I will have it there. (PS, there will also be nine original Craig and Mertonford locos there as well as some original CMR stock.)

Sorry Garry, your post clashed with my last one. However, can you tell me why thread drift is such a heinous crime? Surely that's part of what makes a forum such as this stimulating?

A strange shadow has been reported flitting across the rooftops of Totherdale.


The cut out bat has been hastily removed from the town searchlight and its beam played across the town.


Oh, it's him.  Bit early for him really but Season's Greetings everyone.
