Thank you guys.
Regarding track materials, which shop do you order your (US) track materials from? Do you know of some more (mail order) stores in europe (netherlands/germany etc) that can supply US outline track materials (walthers, shinohara, Peco code 83 etc) , and have reasonable shipping charges?
I want to get a few turnouts, but my regular supplier in the UK (model junction) are on holiday. I looked at 'all american trains' in germany, but they are so expensive. A no 6 turnout is 29 euro's (walthers shinohara), but they then throw VAT on top, and their minimum shipping charge is 20 euro's, which is ridiculous in my opinion. Especially if model junction only charges about 16GBP incl vat for a turnout. which is about 8 euro's less , and can ship for lower cost.
cheers, Koos
