Oh I meant second hand as well.
-
Isn’t second hand and used the same thing?
-
But how many layouts, never mind exhibition layouts, are actually set in winter? I can only think of a handful.
-
This is meant as a serious advice thread. second hand and or used - just to be clear.
-
Water troughs are something you don’t see every day - even just static ones.

Congrats Logan Sergeant on his first point in F1! And a Williams double points finish - one positive from the updated results.
-
That sprint could have been an e-mail.
-
Aston Martin's fall from grace is getting ugly with both cars out in Q1... 🤦♂️
-
So when would wooden fencing be used vs wire fencing?
-
I hope it touches on Churchill's relationship with Alan Brooke because from what I understand they had a fiery relationship where their "discussions" would devolve into literal screaming matches at best.

Not a gin drinker but my wife was gifted these.
-
sorry mate - I meant it more as a joke.
-
Anything to make diesels look bad I guess.

Ulysses by James Joyce - I am 3 hours into the 18 hour audiobook. It's a very difficult read/listen but it's brillant. It's also the most Irish thing I've ever heard! 🍀

Plot twist - the coal on the model isn’t removable… 😉
-
Even my wife commented on how out of scale the coal was and where did they find the boulders of coal!
-
@Neal Ballif I have Castles, where do you want me to post them?
-
Broad Gauge coal! 😆
-
No they didn't have to carry it. It's funny how Awdry strived for realism in his stories so it makes a line about the 15 coaches still out like a sore thumb.
-
Just curious, in the story "Bowled Out", a Duck and Stepney have to take over the express from the failed diesel. The story notes the load is 15 coaches (assuming MK1s or something similar) and they went over Gordon's Hill unassisted (Gordon's Hill is modeled after the Lickey Incline). Would the Pannier and Terrier have been able to pull that load, including over the hill and be early?

When would it be company issue fencing that the GWR put in themselves versus a fence in a nearby town/farmer's field etc or is all railway fencing supplied by the company when they built the railway? I've seen a number of layouts where there's no fencing at all. I’ve also seen a number of historical prototypical photos from the line side where it looks like there is no fence at all. Also, how prototypical is the Ratio GWR Linside Fencing is and where would it have been used vs other OO RTR fences?
-
Fancy a big RTR trainset? Only half a mill.

Ah man, I just spent my last £495,000 last week! Bummer! 😏 -
As a GWR fan, I should feel offended but then I can't really dispute it 😁
-
I just hope they don’t lose the slate roof.
