And I agree about Stuart - I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on a purchase of one at their inflated costs anymore.
I can't help thinking that Stuart are pricing themselves out of the market a little bit, especially on their lower end products such as the 10 series. They have now got a fair bit of competition from both Miniature Steam Models and PM Research, not to mention most recently domestically with Chiltern Model Steam. One of the things that Stuart are doing is re-releasing some of their older models like the Progress Oscillator which is very good to see and i hope they continue to add stuff from their extensive back catalogue.
