      In these reviews what does '80%' actually mean? 80% of what? Perfection? And how do you define/measure that?

      MR seems not to be able to decide what 00 scale is. 4mm = 1 foot (1/76.2) or 1/76. An 8ft bogie wheelbase at 32mm is often shown as wrong against the scale measurement!

      Often, I see that models I own (that a like!) get reviewed (especially in MR!!) get fairly bad reviews!

      Just remeber, no model is ever perfect!

      Just been for a nose, they look like Kinugli to me.

      They look like the misbegotten love kinder of a 'shed' and a Pendolino. Andy's right, there's at least Four Kinugli ones......

      They just looked F'kinugli :-)

      Snow in Tokyo is quite rare so enjoy it Dave. Lived there for 18 years and very rarely saw snow....

      All you need now is an earthquake. I had a 5.2 Richter scale one the last time I was in town.

      Funny you should mention snow in Tokyo, I have a friend there who I chat to on PSN and he said they were having a snowstorm!

  5. DJM Dave

    Late train excuses today are...snow, vehicle left circle, bamboo fallen, tree fallen and inspection.

  6. DJM Dave

    6inches of snow in Tokyo since this morning and the place is struggling. Trains are ok though :-)

  7. DJM Dave

    Some of these trains look very strange and futuristic. N700 sets are "interesting" while I also saw my first 'original' Shinkansen today :-)
