My wife bought me a complete train for Xmas - I haven't got the heart to tell her that it's the wrong gauge

In fact, now I think about it, it's the wrong region as well!  Oh well! Hey, ho!

[Robert Shrives]

Does look to be good one , with social distancing and bubbles in use its very modern image. DCC sound might be a problem but I am sure an expert can sort.  I look forward to the scenic developments.  Perhaps your wife is more into railways than you thought ...

Have a good one if you survive!

Are you sure about that.  I bet if you look on the box it will say "China" - possibly prefaced by "made in".

Looks plastic to me........

 

I'll get my coat, but the old ones really are the best - just like me!

It'd look better with some weathering effects

Looks like you have just started a new layout in a different scale!

[H2O]

Is that in the new HO HO gauge?

Thank God - I exclaimed "oh no" when I saw the title, clicked, then read out the thread title to my partner as I waited for it to load. She also said "oh no" - and then the relief when the image loaded!

 

P.S you may also want to check the back-to-backs...

Isn't it snow gauge?

View it as a scratch-aid! Your challenge is to take what you have and build a layout around it!

Actually....

 

You could spirit it away after 12th Night, do a motorising job on it, and set it up around the tree next Christmas!

Personally I would put a wheelie bin 'round' it   but I haven't got to deal with the consequences when SWMBO found out

Next you'll be saying that there ain't no sanity clause!

Curiously, I bought something not dissimilar to have a play with! If anything comes of it I'll be sure to post on here!
