If you looking for paints like BR rail colors oupsmodels sell them at a low price in France www.oupsmodel.com/802-humbrol-acrylique-rail Sadly no modeling paint company in the UK is unable to post to France due to Royal Mail no longer accept items with liquids due to security issues, Its been a total pain trying to find these paints in France but was happy to find them at oupsmodel for 1,60 EUR when they are £1.60 in the UK.

Hi Simon,
Thank you! A valuable resource. There are now quite a few things we cannot buy from the UK due to terrorist hysteria. I found small cable ties in my local GIFI store (not sure how national these stores are though). In my local Les Briconautes I also found Pattex modelling glue, great for plastics and has a fine dropper which means it will probably last longer than the clone super-glues we see around.
Hope it goes well with you. All the best John

Hi Simon and John,
Great heads up Simon for Humbrol and yes Jon, we have GIFI shops here in 49 and in 79 as well.
Have either of you, or indeed any members yet found a ready source of IPA? ( Isopropyl alcohol, also called isopropanol or dimethyl carbinol) It's the perfect medium for applying weathering powders to stock and buildings and good for cleaning track and loco pickups as well.
Cheers,
Bill

Off to the UK next week to pickup some IPA, as well as my new NCE controller, a few kits and hopefully the Mercontrol point control equipment, oh yes and my Hornby 42XX.
Anyone any news?
Cheers,
Bill
