Yeah, that would be awesome. I recently picked up the TMR version this past weekend. I am not planning on opening it but love the character so hoping either a Plarail or maybe doing a custom version at some point.

If you guys wanted to do a custom Murdoch isn't a million miles away from the 'shape' of the Flying Scotsman (Type A1). About the only thing wrong is the wheel configuration as Murdoch's is more akin to a Type 9F which was typically used as a goods locomotive.

Success.... Big Grin

. My Shoping services order shows the item has arrived at FromJapan. I am waiting on two other items from auctions to affine then can get all this shipping. Bey am I in for another massive shipping bill. Undecided

I know, I was shocked. Maybe they have the hook up.. Big Grin

I was thinking they were going to cancel it due to the reservation closing. But none the less it show it arrived.

Told you they were good at getting difficult stuff mate Smile

Well done, it looks like a lovely and future collectible set. Now the big question, do you open it or store it and more importantly should you have bought two, one to play one to keep?!? Cool

Thanks. Yeah and I got the 10% off sale price too which is nice. I think this one I will open, at least to have a look at and run a few times, then back in the box. If I see another on I may try and snap it up as well.

I've used them to pre-order that new PlaRail Advance big station thing that AC found out about. Really looking forward to that as it has 4 lines, all with automatic or manual train release, sound effects (in stereo based on the pics as it seems to have two speakers) although that's not out till Nov 3rd. Best part is I got it at a better price than Hobby Search were offering it for Big Grin
