Douglas,
I live in the UK and have picked up sets in France & Ireland over the last
couple of years to take advantage of the strength of Sterling. Sorry I can't
advise on shipping costs but I still buy some sets in the UK, best by far is
Busy Bee Toys (see Matthew Bates' excellent Train Depot & other posted items
for full details). They ship to the US but the stock is generally sourced from
Europe and supply is sporadic. The last items I managed to pick up were a 3225
and 2150 about 2 weeks ago but they did have a 4565 too.
