175 forum posts	I've recently re commenced construction of a 5 in gauge Britannia using castings and Perrier drawings from Norman Spink. before I go insane please does anyone have a list of the locations where errors appear on the plans. any information would be most welcome. As an aside I was looking at the catalogue which Norm gave me when I popped down to pick up my goodies and comparing present day prices with Norm's prices nine years ago I realised that everything has increased by about four hundred per cent! Perhapsl this competition we're hearing about with the energy companies is one with our suppliers to see who can increase their prices highest and quickest! or am I off on one again?
