Oh absolutely, but as discussed over on my layout thread, getting models that aren't built like the real thing, to act like the real thing, is next to impossible. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastglosmog Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) I have confessed to this before - my worst crime is running an Eastern Region Class 101 DMU on my GWR layout set in 1946/7. How do I get away with it? The stairs up to my railway room are defended by a yard long cat who will blind any Rivet Police who are daft enough to call (if they are lucky -if not she will have them for breakfast) so they will not be able to see anything to offend them.

To post it there, didn't you remember where you got it from in the first place?? Repeating a joke posted just 8 hours ago, again in this Thread - which is still just 2 pages long, so not much to check back through - good grief!!! That, Sir, is a model railway Crime!!!

Chris M Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sorry officer, but I have no idea how an unweathered Jubilee came to be hauling a clay train through Little Aller Junction. I don't even own a Jubilee. 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the crime was big enough, although for the life of me I can't think of anything bad enough to warrant it, be made to appear in an episode of GMRC.

choo1choo Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I confess to having run post 1905 LBSCR Umber liveried locos on my "layout" without them having been lined painstakingly under a microscope. If anybody knows a good medium perhaps they could get in touch with a certain Mr Douglas E Marsh and ask him why the hell he had to muck arouind and change William Stroudley's livery in the first place...ggggrrrrrr!!!! Also I run hacked up Ratio LMS coaches as LBSCR 48ft. types WITHOUT CHANGING THE BOGIES TO THE CORRECT PATTERN!!!!!!! Sitting in the naughty corner waiting for the ridicule to begin.
