NXEA!

If you are thinking about it ... you are already there, come on in the water is lovely

Just keep repeating over and over: "I don't need it, I can't house it, I can't afford it anyway."

Then it becomes "Its ME or the O gauge..."

Got a couple of 16xx panniers at a loose end, then?

Hroth is on the money - saw the article in Smiths yesterday and now I’m absolutely hooked.

Went to Dornoch once, I think it was shut

apparently nice with a slice of bacon!

Nah, I’m done with bacon.

Could no more eat a pig than a dog these days.

The appeal of O gauge is inversely proportionate to one's eyesight focusing ability.

O gauge, the best there is.....

Cheap. :-)

Labradoodles....mad as a box of frogs, intelligent and a more loving and loyal animal you'll not find 9yes we do have one)

There are many different dog breeds and mixtures of them, but everyone has to check out for themselves what is best for them. For example, we have Golden Retrievers.

Labradors, lovely dogs, marvellous temprament but foodaholics and impossible to keep out of water!

Friends of ours were beginning to get funny looks from the police after theirs found a third dead body in the canal...

Hadn't changed them since we moved in, has been on the to-do list. Dirty business indeed. Bolts were completely rusted so spent 30 mins smashing the hinges on both seats with a hammer to weaken them enough to pull out with the claw. Previous least favourite chore was taking out the bins, but that is a joy in comparison.

It can also be annoying when working on said appliance when you find out that the various parts are not bog standard after all.

Agreed! b- a PIG of a job and none of the modern bits fits properly!

There are a lot of converging and diverging roads between points at the level crossing just north of Exeter St Davids

I believe in infamous Durham Ox LC at Lincoln went over several points.

Thank you gents, good suggestions!

I'm gutted, I love snow! On my way to London this morning, and it appears the furthest east it got yesterday was around Ipswich.

None in North Norfolk, either.

there was some in Suffolk

Thank you Swifty!

congrats on the training to keep Britain moving and a great future ahead for you.

Cheers yorkie_pudd. It's a great feeling knowing I'll be helping to keep the railway in good order, wanted to work on the railway since I was about 3!

Got to agree with you there brother

It's an understandable point of view, with which I have sympathy

Sure some of you would get what I meant. And same here Chris! And Jim I want to see the Book of Mormon at some stage! any good?

Ha-ha!

Wrong type of lettuce

Don't they hibernate at this time of year? Try again in the spring perhaps?

You got a link to the layout Andy? I'd be interested to see. My OO Gauge layout lives in our bedroom at the moment, so definitely no chance of a second layout at the moment! One day I'll have a railway room...

I'd really like to see that 7mm layout as well, please!

Pen Y Bont in 7MM section, now extended to 14.5ft

Theoretically, no!

Great answers, thanks guys! Knew I could count on RMWeb.

Wikipedia says that at the start of the LNER there were 272 of them, and at the start of BR, 127 were left, so if I were you, I wouldn't stop at 3.

Is that the sound of a blown DCC chip?

Paint smear ?

20ish C and a bit breezy today. Bliss!

Much the same here today! :-)

Didn't get above 16 here all day, and very chilly outside tonight.

If it's being delivered by Yodel look over your next door neigbours fence

Or if it’s Hermes look in your black bin... found one of my Clauds in there!

I'm in the same boat,nothing since April!

I had hoped that Locomotion would announce this, not to be, we get a Precedent instead. Still feel this will not sell as well as an E4.

Perhaps they have now got a feel for balancing a 2-4-0 and it will set a Precedent....

(Groan)

A Precedent does have the pretty/collectible factor - an E4 has a more bucolic/‘cute’ look to it though. Fingers crossed - as I have been doing for the last few years! 

Four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire

18th March 2018 minus 20 years = 1st June 1967? Gosh, I'm younger than I thought.

So are they in style or out of style at the mo'?

Agreed

I am in that club.

Too late, he's seen the ghosts and come over all goody-goody!

But yes.

Bah!

Humbug!

So hard to find good people these days.

He should try a few sausages if he wants hairs on his chest

Youth of today and all that...

He'd like everyone to know that he isn't Laurence Fishburne.

Ever noticed how the purple Teletubby has a certain drawl?

He was awesome in Pulp Fiction, but to me he's only in films because he's Samuel L. Jackson. Like, I haven't seen a film in while with him in that I particularly enjoyed him in.

Maybe if he had a Broad Gauge Rover he's willing to donate to me......then I could get to like him!

who?

You all disappoint me!

Christ, how did you cope?!

Badly! When we came here we bought off plan, builders here were....slow, to be polite! A year late....

Ah that's pretty sh*t! My Grandparents and I rent so its down to the whim of the landlord unfortunately.

Some are bound to have travelled a bit, which region are you modelling?

Thanks guys, making me feel better about spending! It was only £64. Great Eastern, more specifically Norfolk/M&GN. My excuse is it got purloined for a freight from Peterborough/March, or that its on loan from the LMR as a trial...

Not far at all from the Midland Railway at Peterborough - it probably happened at some point. The 1F is a cracking model, anyway!

No - save your money for a pannier instead.

Joking aside, there's nothing wrong with any class, as long as its what YOU want.

However, if you're thinking about it, or asking whether to go ahead, it ceases to be an impulse buy.

Yes!!

I bought it, It was the half-cab with BR lettering on offer for £64 but its the wrong region for me. I regret nothing.
