Slippery slope, Sir..!!
Make sure your next moments of weakness enlightenment include buying a loco... :D
The train has departed on the 14xx tanks for a ton, but the forthcoming Dapol J94's could see some more discounting on the way. (Well I'm hoping for one at least)

Then you'll be slipping faster than a Merchant Navy leaving Waterloo....

Just occasionally the quality control detects a slight scuff or some such on incoming Dapol loco, and they go at a cheaper price. if there’s a Dapol stand at a show, best to get there quick.
Displayed at shows as "NQP", or Not Quite Perfect. Price cuts can be substantial from what I've seen, but there's never been any stuff going as NQP that I've wanted.... :rolleyes: :oops:

Ok, this is getting silly now. That’s the last of the 7mm wagon kits for the time being until the Powsides ones arrive and yes I know about the truss rodding which I’ll leave off the tank wagon until it’s painted and transferred. It’ll be for the Worle Town gasworks eventually.
The LSWR van was a birthday present and it is rather lovely. The David Geen one I’ve got in EM for my Weston and Clevedon layouts is a favourite.

Time to return to 4mm for a bit.

The square tank in the larger scale is quite nice: it’ll be better yet with the strapping that Slaters didn’t include (and which your 4mm version has), and a proper manhole on the top - far more typical - would be an improvement too. It’s all a bit big, Andrew, that’s the problem. :p
