Just out of interest... What other uses have you found for model equipment ?

The reason i ask is because my neice decided uncle mike should have a foam glider for christmas (aww....!). After a few flights, it started to break and little lucy was quite upset... So i glued a spare bit of n rail along the length of it, and now it flies even better !

Anyone else got a similar story ?

If it's got rails... you have my full, undivided attention - Steam, diesel and electric, 'tis all good !

Sounds a bit awful, but i had a 2ft length 'cut-off' of peco flexi track, which I use as a back scratcher ::)

Not model railways, but I once used part of an Airfix Bristol Beaufighter TFX to fix a laptop.

I once used a Farish 0-6-0 J94 loco to chuck at a Cane Toad in the back yard.

Hit or Miss? What was worse off toad or train? You've gotta tell the story now, you've got me intrigued?

That is without a doubt, the best non railway use of a model loco.... AWESOME !!!  :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing:
