I've just noticed last night that our dollar has again become 'the peso of the south pacific' (Fiji has coups and their dollar doesn't move at all!). The lady of the house went shopping on Amazon, and the bill that came back on E-mail was a bit of a shock. on the plus side, I've got enough credits (you spend, I spend) to buy some rubber and resin. The flip side is that everything that you buy from overseas (which is well, everything) is now up 30% vs where it was 3 months ago. and while I'm glad that I did some buying in the good times, I should have brought more. still, 2 4-8-2's wasn't a bad start.
I'm now waiting for Kato USA to start selling the spare parts for their GG1, as the driving wheels are exactly right for an Ed.
