Hi NormP.
Here’s the beer! If you're interested in the download details you can find them in post #353 in this thread.
Thanks jango. These new buildings are brilliant! I’ll be using the stations and vegetation as soon as I’ve got them into Trainz.
@ cascaderailroad – bet you can’t find the beer bottle in this shot!
Cheers
Casper

Complaint!
This Bentley isn’t as great as I first thought.
It may be OK at Brooklands and on mainland European tarmac, but off road ... sheer rubbish!
No GPS!
Lost!
Stuck in mud.
Expensive map is of the wrong area.
Wife has to negotiate cost of tow out with a local farmer (licensed bandit with a tractor).
Trousers getting wet.
Totally fed up.

Dear Mr. Mezzotint,
We are in receipt of your letter of complaint dated the 5th inst.
We would respectfully point out that that the vehicle you purchased from us is a Gentleman's Carriage, and as such is not intended for agricultural use. Had you, at the time, expressed your intention of taking the vehicle 'off the road', we would have recommended the purchase of one of the products of the Aston Martin / David Brown group as being more suitable.
We would remind you that our salesman offered you a GPS system at a very reasonable price, but you declined that offer on the grounds that the filling station down the road from our premises was offering a free pocket map of Europe with every five gallons of fuel. To claim that this was expensive is, we feel, somewhat overstretching your case.
In addition, we note with regret that our bank has returned your cheque 'Refer to Drawer'. It would also seem that you have taken the vehicle overseas without proper preparation. Furthermore, our chief mechanic states that his wife disappeared shortly after you left our premises, and that the lady in the picture you enclosed with your letter bears an uncanny resemblance to her. Please take steps to return both the vehicle and the lady at your earliest convenience.
We advise you that, if we do not hear from you in the next seven days, we shall be forced to place both matters in the hands of our solicitors, Grabbit and Scarper.
Assuring you of our best attention at all times,
We remain,
Your humble and obedient servants,
A. Daley & Sons Ltd,
Purveyors of Fine Carriages to Gentlemen of Discernment
Cheers, Casper.

Unresolved problem
For the attention of Mr Yelland
A. Daley & Sons Ltd
Dear Mr Yelland,
I refer to your letter of response dated 6th November.
The Bentley remains in the farm gateway until such time as you may wish to reclaim it.
We have no intention to meet the cost of recovery. The vehicle remains unfit for purpose. The fees charged by the farmer, and his rather large family, for “estimating” the cost of extricating the vehicle cleaned us out of all of our travel money.
Had it not been for the kind services of an ageing pop star's fan club who had hired a double decker bus from Classic Tours Omnibus Co Ltd, which I understand is a subsidiary company of yours, we would not have been able to return home.
We find it odd that this class of public service vehicle appears capable of off road activity, despite its totally inappropriate size, whereas the Bentley is not.
Oh, and the GPS doesn’t work on that one either. I enclose a montage of holiday snaps as evidence of the “route” which the “master” of this vehicle took when left to his own devices. Getting hopelessly lost on a hairpin bend and unguarded road, high above stormy seas in not something we would care to repeat – ever!
Fortunately the free pocket map of Europe from your local filling station, at which you clearly sneered, proved to be our salvation.
The repetitive singing of, “We’re All Going on a Summer Holiday” for the duration of the whole of the 723 mile journey home did nothing to add to the experience either! In fact the bus was not even faithful to the film. Another rip-off from A. Daley & Sons Ltd.
We refrained from complaining at the time because we were graciously permitted to travel free of charge through Europe, using our UK pensioner’s bus passes.
We did not join in with the singing.
My solicitors, Novak & Goode, have advised that the suggestion pertaining to the woman passenger in the Bentley not being my wife is a slur on my character. Proceedings may be issued in respect of that accusation which is entirely false. I have absolutely no reason to leave my wife for someone else. Your mechanic needs to look elsewhere, both for his wife and a new job if he has any sense!
The slanderous statement made is of the type which destroys relationships. My wife is an individual for whom I am totally devoted and we have the greatest respect for each other - constantly. In addition, despite her age, she is still a fine looking woman - most days (in the dark).
Finally you may wish to devote some attention to the condition of the Bus Depot for which I assume you are also responsible. Our comments are based on observations made upon our safe return to Blighty. Overall cleanliness is extremely poor, overnight security is lax and the graffiti could do with being removed.
Needless to say my intention is to never again acquire vehicles from your company. *
Yours,
Cuthbert Mezzotint
* At least, that was the plan until I saw your latest offerings in the Freeware section.
Nice work J!
Cheers
