Hello,

This morning I was awoken by the Postie on a rare Saturday delivery; he had my loco I just bought off of eBay. A 00 Gauge Wills Finecast SE&CR P Class all built all for the princely sum of £20. Bargain, so I up-wrapped the package with my tea this morning only to find that inside was not a P Class, but a SER R1 Class locomotive upon further inspection it is a Hornby Dublo plastic body ontop of a incomplete EM Gauge chassis.

Irritated to some extent which I discovered it being EM Gauge by the locomotive refusing to sit on my 00 Gauge track (quite understandably) Recently I have been disposing of alot of my surplus 00 Gauge stock, however recent thoughts have surfaced being perhaps I should dispose of it all and start afresh, my mind has for years been wandering to O Gauge I saw a number of fantastic layout several years back at Scaleforum South and have never quite been the same since. Today I am off to Barnstaple MRC exhibition to have a browse. I might even take the plunge and buy a O Gauge kit to satisfy my curisosity.

If any member see me meandering around, I'll be in nondescript combats & white t shirt then please say Hi you'll probably find me lingering over the O Gauge layouts with a look of deliberation.

Cheers,
