Try Gaugemaster in Arundel.

John.

I think MG Sharp in Sheffield are a Kato agent, maybe worth a call to them as well as Gaugemaster.

Alternative to Gaugemaster & Sharp, there are some Ebay sellers. I've dealt with one in Cambridge who was fine for some Japanese made stuff, and he's listed TGV's in the past.

Advert in N Gauge Journal 1/05 from Osborns's Models Abingdon indicates availability.

I guess M G Sharp and JRS will also be able to supply.

Have a nook at Osbourne's Models of Abingdon's site - Maurice is advertising them:

...yes his eBay ID is jtrainsuk and I was in discussions with him only a few weeks back about these very same long orange things...he can definitely get hold of them.

Hi all,

Many thanks for the info.

The Osbourne's Models of Abingdon's site site is great, thanks for that. I've also written to Guagemaster and MG Sharp. I hope to post the results of that for completeness in a few days.

Thanks again...

...oh, and other colours too of course! (ahem...must r e a d s l o w e r . . . )

Not only are Kato releasing the Thalys TGV in a six car plus four add-on they are also releasing Class 66 in N Gauge, but it seems only in Continental colours, no UK liveries.

Personally, I don't see why modellers in the UK who choose foreign subjects should be excluded from this group? After all they have problems unique to UK residents which can't easily be answered in a foreign newsgroup. I'd only draw the line at foreign residents discussing foreign subjects.

Hi group. Sorry this is not UK. But for completeness on the TGV (incase anyone searches for it) I have a few links about the Kato Thalys TGV.

Gaugemaster are also helpful new Thalys sets from Kato are a 10 coach set, the pre launch sales info does not say it is DCC ready

Delivery is expected late April/early May

You can also see some US sites here from a google search:
