thanks Rusty, that's what I was afraid of.  I have read a lot of UK threads of how popular he is in the UK.  I know of one hobby shop in North Carolina that had him late last month, I'll check with them.

Hi everyone,  I'm looking to start a narrow gauge layout and I was hoping someone here on the forums might know of an online shop that has Skarloey in stock.  Preferably one that takes Paypal.  I haven't had any luck on Ebay or google searches. 

thanks
Keith
