What is unclear is if the tissue was simply to be turned over, folded in half, or a second sheet used for the disinfecting operation. To my knowledge no instructions for use were ever provided by the manufacturer.

Hence, 'Trial by Paper'!

I don't think I've  ever seen any instructions for use provided by Andrex either.  I suppose one could google it?

And in fairness to Izal, at least some of their product carried an instruction on every page  ... Now wash your hands.

Seems they had identified the fatal design flaw? There was a chance that one's hands might get a wee bit soiled??

Trying to drag the conversation out of the lavvy.....

 

A lovely listing by Hattons on their website, some Noch O scale figures.  Only 20 quid, plus delivery.  They've got a Very Good Box!

The Walking Passenger has a loose leg. Arrrr! Jimlad!!!...

Also, Noch have left them curiously faceless, looks more like a Zombie Invasion.  Especially with the loose leg...

 

Did I mention, the Walking Passenger has a loose leg!  🤣🤣🤣

I would request the set comes with a parrot with lovely plumage!

Royal Mail Parcel Coach

 

Looks like a conversation of the Triang Ambulance Coach - with home made RM markings.  Definitely not decals and definitely not kit built.

 

Cheers

I can't imagine anyone with the slightest knowledge of coach kits looking at those bacon slicer plastic wheels and not realising that it's actually Tri-ang based or something similar from fifty years ago.

Have they just cut out a Royal Mail logo from some literature and glued it on the side? 

 

It looks like it came from one of those cards you get telling you where they stashed your parcel.

Looks like it....

 

@MrWolf  The wheels are not so much "bacon slicer" as they're not sharp enough, I'd say more "steamroller"!

Faceless people reminds me of Eric Leslie beautifully done water colours he did for the L&B amongst others

Aren't the corridor connections in the wrong position for  a mail coach???

So much is wrong for a mail coach...  😁

 

We had Hattons on the ropes yesterday, today its Rails...

 

https://railsofsheffield.com/products/pre-owned-thomas-friends-murdoch-2-10-0-steam-locomotive

 

Hornby R9684, so its probably loco drive rather than tender drive.

 

Only £1095.00

I think they do delivery free at that price...

 

There's a fair number of Thomas locos on offer.

I think that is one of the cheaper ones I have seen. Have seen them on the bay for over £1500.

madness from rails. kit is for an 0-8-0 but contains a chassis for an 0-6-0. also the tender is a later ivatt one and the box shows a stirling tender. I showed interest in this as i just picked up the same kit with all the correct parts for £125 second hand they are £199 new!

 

additional. having further looked at it i believe the kit is actually for an Ivatt J3 0-6-0 and in the wrong box which makes it even more expensive as the j3 is a cheaper kit than the Q1
