ok for me.

Wonder if because you are outside UK but I've posted loads of links from the BBC and they always work.

Anyone else having problem?

I love the shape of those streamlined steam trains (try saying that fast)  :confused: :lol:

If I get some spare cash I might buy Trish a Mallard or similar model for her setup  :goodjob:
