  1. As an n gauge modeller I have recently brought royal 47, a 2251 and a sound chip for a 4575. Shame they are all 00. What's going on here?

      The answer is simple: it means your eyesight's going. ;-)

  3. How is it possible to cut a 23 x 8x 2 mm out of a model and it still be the same weight as an unmodified one?

      Excellent, good luck (and you will like the Mark IIIs!)

  12. is getting him self in trouble!!

  13. keeps looking at 1:144 plane kits thinking that it a couple of tornado's would tie in nicely for a small layout. I have got to stop thinking like this!

      GR1, GR4, F2, F3 or 60163?

    2. alibuchan

      alibuchan

      looking at a pair of GR4's. 60163 has already taken my money.

  14. Just sneezed DRS blue maybe i should listen to advice and buy some of those face masks for when im spraying

  15. has IMO successfully repainted a Farish 37 into DRS livery. the 47 isn't as good but it will be!! just need to pick up the transfers from the post office on Monday

  16. has done something very stupid!! this I why I need to get rid of my cards.

  17. cant smell! who gets a cold in summer?!!!

  18. has got half of the base board built cant believe how small 5 inches is

  19. has taken the couplings off a peco brake van to try and fit some sprat and winkle couplings. Now, where did I put those instructions

  20. has just ordered the sprat and winkle couplings for the little N gauge dairy layout. Should probably start to order the wood to get the baseboard built

  21. has just stripped down 2 farish 47 and has got a bowl full of bits that was not needed.including motors and 4 bogies worth of gears

    1. ozzyo

      Do they still run????

    2. Jim49

      Jim49

      Only if you push them, by the sound of it.

    3. alibuchan

      alibuchan

      they did but not well at all 1 of the bogies was completely knackered. they have been converted to dummies as they will affect breakers in the fiddle yard if they are runners

  22. is wondering what happened to the 2011 challenge announcement? itching to get started on something this year.

    1. Andy Y

      Andy Y
