I think Peco are ‘fixing’ it before it is re-released. The Parkside Grain is I believe still in the ‘retooling area’. There was an early sample at Warley 2019 that looked quite different (more refined) from the kit. At that time the 13T hopper tooling was shown too as a 3D print. The early Parkside kits are the lower numbers and were the first tooling from the early 80’s and there may have been an Ian Kirk connection there too. The kit however is one of those that gives huge satisfaction when you fight one (or three) into submission. 6 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last kits released by Parkside Dundas are among the finest plastic wagon kits around - the series of RCH 1923 Specification mineral wagons, for example, and the LMS cattle wagon. I think some of the re released early stuff has the same number with letter after it. IIRC I tend to look at the pictures or description rather than the product number. Somewhere I have some pink card topped kits. These may have been ex Kirk kits and thus very early releases under the Parkside name. I think I may own an unbuilt kit from each of the pre Peco eras Andy 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A piece of good moist Christmas cake with a slice of Stilton is among the foods of the gods. One Christmas when I was in the Falklands, a colleague's mother sent down a large cake and a whole Colston Basset Stilton, which arrived on Christmas eve and lived in the crewroom for several weeks. The rule was that it could only be eaten when returning from a sortie and each night the cheese was fed a glass of port. It was one of the things that made life bearable down there.
