Argh, don't mention fuel prices. I pay about the equivelent of $80 a week for diesel - not too bad given renting a flat closer to uni would cost $100 a week, and I'd still have to buy fuel even if I did that. Living at home is pretty good - I get peace and quiet to work, and a lot more comfort than a rented flat. A 45-mile commute really doesn't bother me that much - besides which, I don't have to go over every day. In our case, the crazy prices are due entirely to a government that seems intent on extracting as much money from us as possible while not providing any alternative to using a car - guess they wouldn't make as much money if public transport was usable out here! Ah well, have also been surfing ebay and have found some crazy/hilarious prices. Someone listing a lot of three Minitrix LNER Teak Coaches in N scale for £120 ($240). I have three of those but paid £20 for the three of them a few years ago, though I'm not selling as they're very nice models! Normally I'd think "hah, those won't go", but the seller mentioned another identical listing that would appear to have been bought... Mine are currently safely stored upstairs awaiting a loco worthy of them, which could take a while given the current state of British N scale. The cheque for the two German HO coaches I mentioned a few days ago has also now been posted - they should arrive sometime next week as cheques seem to take forever to clear. Will post some photos when they turn up - Lilac and Cream paintwork may well require sunglasses! Steve, that loco looks familiar - It's a BR Standard design of some form, I'm guessing either the one-off "Duke of Gloucester" or a "Britannia" class?
