I'm walking into the unknown here. What should I watch out for? Would I be better off buying one in town than over the internet? I don't want to buy a pig in a poke.
Do I understand that DCC means you can run more than one locomotive on the same layout? It says DCC ready for £104.50 when usually this is a £15 extra.

Anyway, it wasn't a wasted journey. The Brigit Fleet Air Arm has increased by one Sea Harrier.
It's a wonderful little shop, isn't it?
I'm going to go through the last two issues of Railway Modeller and see who has one in stock. Does anyone have any good or bad experiences of buying locomotives online or mail order? I don't want a box of broken bits turning up.
