  1. I wonder what it would look like with yellow ends.... HMM.
  2. Any chance that a 'CIE' stowaway could be aboard? An Anglo-Irish affair of sorts? A certain Crossley department? If you know what I mean. ScR
  3. Very nice, please don't take my earlier post as intentionally unkind. Nuance is almost impossible to communicate online.
  4. It would probably spend most of its time falling over, the boiler is way too high for a decapod, and the lack of a leading wheel would make the ride quality utterly miserable.
  5. Does anyone know if the upcoming price increases will affect orders direct from Hornby, or if its just to retailers?
  6. Was one of the collaborators on this project perchance a certain wild-haired older gentleman? First name 'Doc', last name 'Brown'?
  7. I have just renamed and renumbered my first locomotive

      The first of many.....

  8. I wonder where Sodor would be if Awdry had been born an American.
  9. A GSR 800 at full capacity would be something to watch. And an A4 with 22in cylinders and 275psi would probably get north of 130MPH
  10. I’ve been wondering what the impact would be if the U.K. wide gauge had been the same as the Irish gauge. What difference could an extra four and a half inches make?
  11. A touch of an overreaction, contrary to prevailing opinion, I don’t think there’s any point in preserving every conceivable example of an object. I mean what would you realistically do with the complete fleet of 16 tonners? I would much rather a genuinely historic artefact survive in loving care, than a thousand pieces of detritus bury any hope of understanding.
  12. I could never be full time football fan, every four years I'd curl into a ball and cry.

      You don’t have to be a full time football fan for that. Quadrennial fandom would suffice.

      Now might be the time to get interested.  Someone's kidnapped the entire Italian squad.  11 imposters have been playing really attractive football for the last 2 games.  No-one recognises these guys in blue shirts. 

  13. I don't think they got further south than Doncaster
  14. Shouldn’t there have been an entry today.
  15. For those of you who use train simulator.
  16. Oh thats wonderful, I may have asked you this before Nile, but were did you find out about the LMWR?
  17. I've been thinking of a scenario, that might help, but its a bit, controversial and potentially tasteless given recent events. So I'll only tell if you really want me to.
  18. Well 1426 arrived today... with a big crack in its bunker. The coal load loose, shortly followed by the cab roof and rear head. I’ve glued it all back together, if it went back it would just be so much more wasted plastic. Out of curiosity does plastic cement work on hornbys stuff? Only gorilla gell is hard to control.
  19. Mine should be here by Friday, and I only order at the beginning of March.
  20. Gave Hornby a bell to ask for a follow up, they said my NCB one should be out by the end of the week.
  21. Hornby has taken payment for my Green NCB one, haven’t sent me an email though.
  22. @KR ModelsHow long will the second production run be and will you let us know when the stock gets low?
