Well, Wales have continued their unbeaten charge in the 6 Nations championship - we beat Scotland 46-22. Now the only thing between us and the trophy is Ireland - next weekend's match! Steve, I couldn't agree more about the 2nd generation DMUs - I really preferred the older ones. Comfy seats, good views over the driver's shoulder. I managed to travel on the Nene Valley Railway's 117 last year - a better unit than some of the new ones entering service now. Replacing the MK1 coaches was also a big mistake - I've travelled more than a few miles in these on preserved lines and they still ride better than new stock. The last good train design (to me, anyway) was the HST - still running after 25+ years! Also good to hear about the reactions to the BLI loco sound - I bought one of the LGB starter sets 2 years ago with a sound-equipped loco - not as advanced as the BLI (it just chuffs at varied speeds depending on how fast the loco's running) but it's a near-guaranteed way to amaze even non-MRR friends. Tom, are the Model Power Sharks made by Roco? I have one of the Roco/E R Models ones which is great - the only thing I found was I had to lube all the bearings as it had been on the shelf for some years. Paid £30 for it from ehattons.com (amazing given full list price was £80!) and it has to be one of the best value for money locos I own. Well, not much happening here - Sunday afternoon. My brother's gone to a Safari park with friends for the day - we're not sure whether they'll grab him as an exhibit or how much trim the monkeys will take off his car! Bye for now
