Sorry I've not responded!
G'day Folks,
I have a few PMs in my inbox and several "things to do" for the good people of this forum... ...I've been up to my nuts in lots of other stuff recently which is why I haven't gotten back to you all. I'm just off to the post office (funola) and will probably be back soon to crack on with the other honey do list things. Sorry for the delay.

Hmmm, Stretch returns to England, drops out of sight, next thing we know England withdraws from the EU. Once the fuss is over, Stretch reappears. Coincidence?

Don't worry about responding to me. I figured it out another way.

That is what I was figuring was the cause... Brexit is a real shock to a lot of people....

So I can still get hold of LHD stuff at the moment! Oh dear now I'm being associated with that bloody 190e of mine! Time to sell it and get a W114!

Why not consider a S124, preferably with the same faults as mine

Took these while out shopping, still plenty to do but at least now a rolling (if noisy) project.
Unusual colour, whilst there are quite a few petrol wagons in SMARAGDSCHWARZ DB189 I have yet to see a diesel.
