N'Gauge in Steam intend to commission the GNR N2 class locomotive for the N gauge and OO Gauge markets This locomotive was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and entered service in 1920.

They were designed for suburban passenger services, and could be seen operating out of London Kings cross, as well as Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Money is the simple answer. Football has become less fan based since Sky, the premier league and the origional Sky 4. it ids all about sponsorship and TV money and the fans are a bit of an afterthought. the cup final is at 5.15 for TV audiences to improve advertising revenue, and the hell with the fans who won't be able to get a train home. as a fan of a club who is poor, and an ownere with less cash than your average kitten, I still have some pride, but to be able to compete now, you have to sell your soul to the highest bidder, sponsor your ground, and in cardiffs case, change your colours. but people still go. until fans start walking away from the game, they will always be last on the list of things to think about.

What can i say that hasn't been said. I have just spent my lunch hour and beyond looking through this thread, and I am truly staggered and humbled by this. When I started collecting my N gauge, I decided I wanted a station over roof like GM Central, and whilst I had plans for resin cast walls never really figured out how to do the arches and glazing. and really, i still don't You are a much more talented and patient man than I will ever be, and it was a delight to see this work unfold. I pass many of these structures regularly, and the level of detail is a joy to behold. wow
