Garden Railway Planning/Procurement for post 31st December 2020

That really is hard to understand!

It was always a mystery to me too. Shipping of my BR50 was €14 (in a box about the size of the fridge!) and the Orient Express was €11 (the size of a large family suitcase) - both by DHL. The former was despatched on a Sunday and arrived Tuesday afternoon, the latter ordered on Monday and arrived Thursday. Timescales that would put many UK carriers to shame. I found the dearest postage tends to be charged on smaller (parts and spares) items.

Sent some of No1 son's contact lenses out to him in Nigeria by DHL during lockdown - well I think he's still under curfew - 'cos there's no other reliable way. £50 and got there in four days

I have been buying brand new track from Modell-land. If you buy a modest quantity it works out at around £4 per foot/300mm.

It is cheaper than second hand track off eBay !
some sellers are asking for around £7 per foot/300mm !

Perhaps I should increase my prices - I've been charging £3 per foot.

So for £6:00 you would be all but legless

So for £6:00 you would be all but legless

Well I would be, these days.. - Am definitely out of practice!
