You certainly can't do that with a Kindle. 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted October 15, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 15, 2023 A bunch of decades ago, one of the mags distinguished between "serious" modellers and "solemn" modellers. The solemn modeller will tell you that, on April 30, 1957, there wasn't a lump of ballast on that sleeper.

The wheels didn't look like typical 3-rail ones, and it's clearly on 2-rail track, but the loco has 3-rail traits - swing pilot & short handrails on the corners, so I played safe with the "O Gauge" description. 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motor is an Atlas O in three-rail format, I had plans for a small three-rail layout but those got shelved. Also, that flat is still three-rail, I since acquired two more that someone else had already two-railed; saved me some work! This one, an ALCo RSD 5/7, I have since acquired the same model (with a different road number) in two-rail: BTW, the name of this "layout" was the D C Central, D C = Dirty Carpet. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly; poisoned in the stomach with a sword. And as for Arthur, 'whosoever pulls this sword from this stone will be the True King of All England', I wouldn't have bothered. England at that time consisted of a few farms in Kent and Sussex given them by Vortigern, or Gwytheryn depending on what language you read it in, and Arthur, if he existed, was Brythonic Romano-Celtic Welsh.
