RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted May 25, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2020 That said, sticking with toy trains (because that is what this is all about...), I maintain we really have not had it so good.. I have all the stock I would want for all three of my layouts. The missing items are on their way. A Midland 1P from Bachmann for Bleat Wharf, an ex-L&SWR road van for Mutton (eventually! ) and another Peckett or two for Sheep Dip. All the prototype locos I craved as a youngster are now available RTR. We are seeing more pre-grouping prototypes being produced by Hornby and Bachmann and that ticks the boxes for me alright. The challenge, with such temptation that this presents, is staying focused. Drama will ensue if a rtr ex GER E4 or J67/69 be threatened as I am reconsidering my Ex-Great Eastern branch adventure. That said, I have all the stock I need for that as well.......and near enough all the buildings.........Space is the issue but then again.......I could just as easily build it as not. This is a very good time to be a modeller in 4mm. Rob. 10 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed. Or as my grandmother used to say: It's not about the size of the building blocks or how detailed they are, it's about which blocks to select and how you put them together. Not that she ever actually said that. Or anything remotely like it. But she made the best meatballs on the planet. 12 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
