Hi, we're back home after a 14 day holiday in Hong Kong, thanks again Steve to guide me to the hobby shop in Hong Kong, it took me a while to find the shop as there are conflicting addresses and nobody around there can speak or understands a word of English.

the shop entrance is actually in Ming Sing Lane and not Temple street. Temple street itself is a difficult street to follow, it stops and than continues across a park with no indication, finding 36-40 Temple street was or is
more or less impossible.
Lee Kwon and his wife operate the shop and more or less sell most of their European trains and accessories to Hong Kong residence with internet sales to China (Chinese locos and accessories), Lee is very friendly and helpful dealer and he didn't mind giving me a special price for an ÖBB special 2015 edition electric loco (Crocodile in brown) Rh 1189.05. it took me 2 hours the first day without finding the shop, the second day I was lucky with a Hong Kong public member and looked around the shop, the third time I went there on a Wednesday and he was closed ( I should have read his opening hours) and by the 4th time I was lucky to buy the loco at a reduced price.

pictures will follow when I get back to normal.

John
