Popular Post martink Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 There doesn't seem to be a specific section for model railway humour, so I put this one here. I stumbled across this chain of four pages on the website of a local Australian hobby shop. It shows several model railway products that, for one reason or another, never really became popular. Don't forget to click on the "Next" tabs at the bottom to reach the other pages. https://www.hobbiesplus.com.au/disasters.htm 4 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted July 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hmm. Many years ago, back in the 70s or 80s I think, one of the model railway magazines had an April issue which featured a London Underground layout which had allegedly been installed beneath the floor of the layout room; stations were claimed to be visible through perspex panels in the floor but you had to take the carpet up. You could model the Channel Tunnel or St Gotthard Base on a similar basis... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted July 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2020 Pure fiction, but....... A brain-storming session somewhere in the world of model Railways.... "I know! Lets announce a model, and bring it out on time, and under the advertised RRP! "Don't be daft, you stupid boy! That'll never work!

Pacific231G Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 There was a miniature railway engineer who got into model railways but thought it would make things easier if everyone used a different scale for their track than for their models. Needless to say, such a daft idea never caught on but I have heard rumours that a few modellers in one country actually tried to do it.
