Lord Ferguson Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I'm awake, I'm awake - Should have some on those in my collection - they are about the only things missing really - Lets hope 2006 sees me booster my britains range (Wife's permission permitting of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Wife's permission permitting of course) Look, its all for the best, no cabinet no tractors, you have no where for them to go anyway, best they stay put or they are driven down with boxes to Udimore where they will be loved in a brand new cabinet.

Udimore Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Dont worry, its only taken me 4 years to convince my missus the same and now i worried the 3yo & 4month old will be in there rumaging around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Ooooooooo can't even contemplate that one. Mine are strictly out of bounds to ALL - But my kids are at the age they understand (8 and 10) - It's always a worry when someone else handles your models isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Steve, are the boxes for the 590 & 595 the same ie do they having any differences as i could put my 590 in the 595 spare box if that is the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
