Seem to remember that DJB offered a coal fired version of the Accucraft Countess, did anyone here happen to buy one, if so how good was it?

Never happened because of the changeover in the business happened at this time.

On the subject of the TME one, me and my step dad were talking about it and although its a master piece of engineering, I would be scared to run it.
I mean obviously this wont be literal but every time you run it, your wiping 100 off the value. All the wear and muck ect. They are almost too good to run!

but they're also engineered to last, look at the VOR tanks!

No they won't lose value over ten years if run. As Paul said, they are certainly well engineered. I have run Simon Whenmouth's TME 'Earl' and they are absolutely superb...
