Hi Michael,
Many thanks for the Wensleydale Tankers, they're absolutely stunning! The detail to the printing is unbelievable, and they're much better than i ever imagined. Sure, i've seen the standard Dapol Six Wheel Tanks in Model Shops, but always felt that they looked a bit plain. These Wensleydale ones however just blow them out the water!
Many thanks once again for being so helpful!
Very Best Regards
Marcus

As a collector of n gauge limited edition wagons,I have found your website very helpful in tracking down some of these wagons.As far as I know I have them all,except the 8 plank Black & White(Scotch Whisky)by Minitrix and the 7 plank New Cwmgorse by West Wales Wagon Works.
There are a few things I have spotted on the n gauge specials page.
The Peco 50th anniversary wagon is listed as a 5 plank but the one I have is certainly a 7 plank.
Under Peco 7 plank wagons the Burgess & Penfold listed there is actually a
5 plank.(It is also listed wrongly as a 7 plank in Ramsay\'s)
Under Dapol 7 plank wagons NS065 Farrant and NS068 High Brooms by Ballards appear earlier in the list as NS003 and NS001.I have two Ballard\'s wagons Bennett & Carter and Corral & co.Could these be your NS065 and NS068 listings?
NS066a Hood & Son-On my wagon the running No is 3.
The following are 7 plank wagons that I have, but do not appear in your list.
A set of 3 Bachmann Farish collectors club 7 plank wagons Fleetwood Fish,Lewis Merthyr,Guard Bridge Paper.Item No 377-076K
Dapol Collectors Club in purple with Dapol Ltd lettering.
Richard White & Sons by Antics Online.
Wetmore by Bristol East MRC.
Bachmann collectors club 2008/9 Edward Eastwood.No377-076K.
I hope you find my observations useful and I will continue to consult your excellent and informative website and of course buy your wagons.

RESPONSE:
I always welcome observations on what I list which is mostly down to collectors around the world telling me what is what. I am certainly no expert in the field. I will update my lists as soon as I find a moment.

I am waiting with `eager anticipation` the arrival of a Wensleydale Creamery wagon .... I anticipate that, as with just about all of Mike`s other issued models, the Creamery wagon will, as he says, be a `..splendid..` little item. I am continuing to much enjoy collecting your Limited Editions Mike, so keep up the GREAT work. Bye for now and thanks, Rob in N.Z.
RESPONSE:
Thanks Rob - the Wensleydale was so superb, I had to take it off the site to stop any more orders coming in. However I am having a second lot done this coming Autumn.
