Paul C,

I was not intending to criticise the Museum for producing a model per
se, but the fact that

(a) it is not being made available to its long-standing standing-order
customers, many of whom (for one reason or another) will not be able to
attend Streatham, Brixton or Covent Garden or wherever on 8th or 9th
December, and
(b) the fact that those who received their most recent mailing but who
have not seen the LOTS website or read this forum may needlessly and
fruitlessly be trekking to Streatham Garage, which is the only place,
their most recent mailing informed us, that these models would be
available.

I am ALL for commemorative souvenirs, the more the merrier, but they
should be WIDELY available, at location(s) WIDELY publicised (including
by mail order) and NOT in "limited editions" which will simply generate
money for the dealers.

Marc.
