  1. It's strange how the the brain doesn't register the second "the" when written next to another "the", read it again.

      It fails on only two scores for me: (1) period and location, and (2) general appeal. I can always make room for something that's of interest, even if it's not directly related to my general stock. But it's not pretty, so no.

  4. How many OO Gauge feet are in 1cm?

  5. I'm a bit wary about making my first ever layout.

      Have you ever considered the merits of modelling an industrial system? A sausage factory, perhaps?

      Thanks Market, so they wouldn't have lasted until LNER days then? I'll post this question on the forum as SUs aren't really the place :S

    3. Market65

      Market65

      They tended to last into BR days. So LNER livery can be used.

      Why not turn a crisis into an opportunity - the layout doubles up as a demo stand?

       

      Joking aside, I'm sure that loads of people have been there - all the best.

  18. Locomotives built by Mike Edge and painted by Ian Rathbone are just amazing, well done.
