      I know that feeling... I'd love some N gauge EMU's but as I need 9 for the project I have in mind, I'd have to sell most of my OO stock to pay for it, and since I sold a lot of my N stock to get my OO collection...

      How do the cavies show their appreciation? Or is it more distressed squeaks at the music they don't like?

      They happily sit there purring as the likes of Sidney Bechet and Sammy Davis Jnr play - we even get some 'popcorning', but the moment you get a bit of Firebird or Autobahn they start grumbling and swearing...
