  1. I can't help but wonder why no manufacturer to date has released Mk2B's or Mk2C's.

      I actually did manage to get a hold of one not too long ago. It had completely slipped me by that they had them.

  2. Thinking of swapping the sound in my Hoovers, but I don't know which option to choose.

      I've got no idea what type of speaker I have, only that it's stuck to the roof.

      To be honest, that did sound pretty good. My only problem then would be milling the chassis.

  5. The mods work in mysterious ways.

      Regularity: Didn't think there was such a thing, but it seemd I don't have to look for them.

       

      Andy Y: Thanks for the explanation. I was really confused when I saw the notification, thinking I'd somehow, somewhere said something inappropriate.

      Deleted one of my posts for no apparent reason. Made a quick comparison between a model and prototype, wrote my opinion on the matter, and said that a person who has worked on the real thing (not me) probably knows what he's talking about.

  7. First visit to Janes Trains, and I think my wallet is mad at me.

      Not being a London native, my visits will most likely be few and far between. Though, that might make it worse.

  8. Tried an actual Jaffa Cake for the first time ever yesterday, and I can certainly say that I much prefer the livery.

      The one I tried was from McVities. Don't know if that makes any difference. Either way, they are not for me.

  9. A friend of mine just came back from London with what he called a "carefully selected gift" for me. I thought he was kidding until he handed me a Class 50 owners manual. Not disappointed!

      Very! I mean, we joke around quite a bit, so I didn't really know what to expect. But it wasn't this.

  10. Is BR blue a difficult colour to reproduce? I have three Bachmann blue-gray coaches and a Hornby big logo Class 50, and they're in three different shades.

    1. LU_fan

      LU_fan

      Shades of blue. I was just thinking that, four models in factory fresh condition should, logically, be the same shade if they're all the same colour, in this case BR rail blue. But you do have a point, Ozexpatriate, with the SR green. As do you, mr Teacup, as the infamous US Army olive drab came to mind. But, yeah, if a BR blue model comes out in yellow, well... That's a bigger screw up.

  12. I am a big fan of NSE, even though I never experienced them myself. But recently I started wondering, what would a Class 50 in Jaffa Cake livery look like?

    1. LU_fan

      LU_fan

      I agree that it would most likely look hideous, but at the same time I can't help being a bit curious. And it's not just the 50's I'm wondering about. What if the NSE as we know it never came into being, but remained the London & South Eastern?

  13. Alright, picked up my blue-gray NSE Mk2:s yesterday. Shame they're different shades of blue, but still nice.

    1. LU_fan

      LU_fan

      Yes, but these are BR blue-gray with NSE branding.

  14. Just made my mind up. My future fictional NSE station will be set in around 1987-1988. Four tracks, two island platforms. Haven't decided on third rail yet.

      Well, I did think about incorporating the Underground, but opted against that as I don't have any rolling stock for it. However, as my station is going to be modular, I could always hang a few extra bits on the inside.

  18. Alright, I'll try this again. Does Bachmann's Mk1 and Mk2 coaches come with NEM pockets or not?

    1. LU_fan

      Didn't know this belonged there. Whoops.

      Thank you. I couldn't quite tell from the pictures I've seen, nor have I been able to find any information about it. I might not have looked in the right place.

  20. Does anyone know of any good, cheap, simple, multiplayer capable train simulators?

    1. LU_fan

      I was thinking more of train driving simulators.
