Typically wholly impractical, packed with charactor and with facial expressions sited somewhere between gormless and mild retardation he encapsulates not only the feel of VBCW but also of a lot of it’s players.

I am telling you driving home on the A19 on a Friday evening  this would NOT be impractical. I will concede it might be slightly illegal but I would dearly love it to sort out a few of the idiots who come out at that time of day.

Stonking model!

Yes but it's one and three quarter cylinder engine might make your commute even slower?

Brilliant work on a cracking miniature...and I've just discovered the website and ordered £25's worth!  Great idea Paul, absolutely spot on for all the interwar period.  A real gap in the market.

Having been at work in 'That London' for the better part of the week, what I really need is an armoured train.
