tender Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 0 gauge Ray, l will still keep BS...but will collect 0 gauge for when l retire....(thats the plan anyhow) That's a shame, I have several 00 gauge loco kits that need building. I thought I could send them to you to practice on, once you've finished building and painting them you could then send them to Andy for weathering before returning them to me.

Jock67B Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Fantastic guards van George, and I remember that beautiful brass model of a 'spam can' you once built. A brilliant retirement project in my opinion mate! I may be 'off-air' for a time after Friday as I'm down for a hernia operation in Colchester General at 7am on the 31st! Keep up the good work George, Kind regards, Jock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 0 gauge Ray, l will still keep BS...but will collect 0 gauge for when l retire....(thats the plan anyhow) O dear. In more ways than one! I'm not sure I'd have room (or deep enough pockets) for more than an 0-4-0 and a brake van in the larger scale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKR Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 "deep enough pockets" It's a fallacy Think of the stock Andy had to have for Trebudoc and the stock he has for West Shed. More is less, more or less...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More is less, more or less......I do have to agree, Three Locos, Two Coaches, and about 8 Vans / Wagons. MORE THAN ENOUGH to satisfy operation. Less is a lot more as many people will see from my Pencarne shortly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 As you say guys you dont need loads of locos and stock, l just want something other than BS to keep me busy and the mojo interested in 2016... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm not sure I 100% agree. Of course you are not going to be running 36 wagon MGR trains in O gauge but you will need variation in stock/locos or it becomes a bit samey. Plus I'm not sure that the cost analysis works out either. I can buy an N gauge class 47 for say £60ish and a few full rakes of wagons/coaches for say £100 a rake, all in thats about £260, you would need to pay twice that just for the loco in O. I love the idea of O gauge but I would never be able to satisfy my operational needs pottering about a tiny yard with an 08 and a few 4 wheeled wagons.

georgeT Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Totally agree with you Cav, but the satisfaction and enjoyment you get from scratch building an 0-6-0 jinty in brass you have cut out rolled and bent yourself is wonderful, you don't need a rake of wagons or indeed a layout, here is my pride and joy 47272 well weathered working hard on Andy's first 0 gauge layout at Ruddington 2012, all that will be different in the new venture is that it will be DCC and sound....

RBE Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Yes I 100% get that George. I'd love to build an O gauge class 47 but I would hazard a guess that it would be a shelf model once completed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really love to build a DJH one or the new upcoming JLTRT version. Both of those look excellent (of course we have only seen the CADs on the JLTRT version so far) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
