That's it!!! Thanks, very much appreciated.

Hi. I'm trying to remember a model railway magazine special I bought in the mid 80's. All I can remember was the phrase 'Solving the space problem' on the cover. Inside were many layout plans. The smallest was one that was about 4 ft by 1. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I'd love to find another copy, for nostalgia!

I would have no need to do it in OO, as there are plenty of coaches and wagons out there, and the card thickness lends itself to 16 rather than 4mm. There's a great deal more than just cutting out 4 sides and gluing them together.

I have no intention of selling them, they're running quite happily on my railway. The cost refers to the financial cost to me. The modeling I enjoy.

I had thought that putting this topic in the section marked 'Modelling musings & miscellany' would highlight this as a non serious post, just reflecting what I personally have been told at exhibitions. I make all my rolling stock from raw materials, with the exception of wheels, axleboxes and couplings. My locos are kit built, or modified Faller or other G scale, made to look more British. I've attached a picture of one of my coaches, it needs a few more decals. The chassis is wood, the body was 2 cereal boxes. The cost? About £5 to £7.

I'm a 16mm modeller, and when I used to exhibit, a regular statement I was told was that larger scales are expensive. A roundhouse Millie, a real steam engine retails for £650. Imagine my surprise when I saw the price of a Bachmann Blue Pullman!!! £600, going up to £800! OO has really rocketed in price. I'm glad I jumped ship.

Hi. I'm interested in HO German narrow gauge. Are there any forums for thst please?
