I really am tempted with one of these. Forgive me if I sound a bit dim but is it made to the correct 3'6" gauge. That price from hlj looks quite good just depends on what British customs decide to do when it turns up. I got hammered on import duty and Vat when my Rokuhan C57 turned up recently.

Try calling The Hereford Model Centre. They had one on a shelf when I was in there a week or so ago, didn't look at the price but it might work out cheaper than paying the Parcelfarce ransom demand.

 

AFAIK it's to scale 1067mm cape gauge rather than the standard 32mm O gauge.
