I have been giving this serious thought the past couple of days and ordered one from Martins Models this afternoon. I found him very helpful, ok he was £1 cheaper than other places but that made no difference.The going rate was the same everywhere I looked.
He'll fit the Ronson filler valve for a fiver and £7.50 postage sounds worth not lugging it around the show. Plus he's not sure he will be there. Should arrive Thursday. :D

Sorry to thwart your bargain hunting plans Steve, can meet up to hi.

When I've been to shows for other hobbies there are usually some "show specials" . I was looking for a loco last year but thought there was no point ordering a Bertie as it was just the same price as when I got home. I didn't buy a new one in the end, but had there been an incentive I might well have done.

Excellent, they are super little locos, where have your boiler bands gone though? It looks very sombre without them.
