<p>G'day mate, we also have the same Queen from downunder! Ever since we introduced GST few years back, now we got to pay GST on freight as well! That's coming from overseas!</p><p>You are right, it's fairly safe except the few things in the 'Murphy's Law' thread! LOL Or unlike in R/C, you tend to try to show off with the biggest jump and that tends to make you put in new parts every now and then...</p><p>[quote user="Dave-the-Train"] </p><p>Just enjoy the fact that that is not £4,000.00 ... plus Her Majesty's Excise duty and the trader's mark-up... plus postage and packing or the cost of fuel going to get it (currently 91.5p per litre - about $7.25 a US gallon).</p><p>And, just to really cheer you up... most toy trains drop about 50% in value in the first year except for the really high demand items (that cost more in the first place)... and try to sell off fast to recoup your costs and the price will nose dive into a crevice in a glacier and never ever re-emerge however much the planet warms up.</p><p>MRR are like any hobby... they cost.</p><p>The good news is that on their own MRR won't usually damage your liver, addle your brain or give you a nasty disease. Well, maybe two out of three ain't bad...</p>[/quote]
