Looks like someone has emptied the storage boxes to see actually how much goods stock he has!!!!!

 

 

I find it difficult to believe that any railway modeller has got more stock than will fit on his layout. I think you're pulling our collective leg.

I'm not sure it is even possible to have too many wagons.

 

This is a philosophy that I also apply to ancient motorcycles, records and CDs, art materials, scruffy pairs of Levis, tea bags.... The list goes on quite a bit.

Which, when considering said collections and this always utterly surprises me, is the completely opposite philosophy to that held by one's life partner.

Philosophical debate time - can a single railcar be considered a 'train' ?  Discuss.

 

If it’s in a railway timetable, then yes! What other name could be used...... a bus? :-)

Only if it is a train of thought!

Dictionary definitions that I have seen have all stated that a locomotive and attached vehicles are considered to be a train. That does not mean that I have looked at every single available dictionary definition. Nor does it mean that the development or evolution of the English language has been recorded in all dictionaries.

 

That little devil Stu has obviously been here before and is inciting riots amongst Kevin's followers.

 

I still say, "No". If it's only a railcar then I would describe it as a railcar, not a train. Personal opinion.

um... well... ah

I've at least 40 unbuilt wagon and 20 unbuilt coach kits.

 

That's more than I can display on a layout.  I don't have one :rolleyes:

 

Edit: This excludes all the ready to run fun I have.
