That was great, but it has me jumping back in time and place, so I've got my French hat on (and I may have to go run my 'Mistral'

Listening to some of my favourite French female singers.  While it's a cover of the incomparable Barbara, this rendition of 'Göttingen' by Julie Fuchs is beautiful, just right to slow you down after work.  I so want to be sitting outside a lovely French Cafe, sipping my coffee right now

Sorry, but I am confused about this thread having to be related to the train hobby, specifically n-scale. I posted something a while ago in either this thread or the unhappy one about an HO locomotive. A comment came back about how it was related to n-scale, so I stopped following the thread. After a bit of thinking, I started asking myself how cars, hospitals, or Royal Mail is related to the n-scale hobby.

As far as people complaining, people always will. I don't know what was posted, but IMO, if it didn't break any major rules such as profanity, hate, religion, politics or the ones that warrant immediate deletion, then I think the OP should be given the dignity of a PM stating the concern and possible rewrite to change the tone.

Now, I understand that moderators are people and have feelings, but I think that the emotions should be considered before the action is taken.

My opinion, your mileage may vary.

Listening to a music compilation of suggested tracks I came across Kristina Train and was rather taken by this :

Great voice! The video had me for a moment as I thought the actress was Inger Stevens, who was on Hang 'Em High with Clint Eastwood, but the is actually Catherine Deneuve.

I believe Jon Burman, JB's Model World (chev625 on ebay) also supplied Ten Commandments. I also use Jon's trays extensively and am in need of more. I too have not had a reply for some months now. I have been told he has some health troubles, so I hope everything is OK, but that's at least secondhand information,  so take it with a pinch of salt.

Hopefully they become available again, it would be a really sad loss if his products were to disappear; there's nothing else on the market that I am aware of that comes close in terms of value and flexibility. If he is thinking of retiring, I wonder if there is any possibility of selling the tooling, or letting another party manage manufacture and distribution on his behalf?

I was using John Burnham but my recent emails went unreplied.

I have seen Trainsporters but feel they are over engineered and overpriced.

I expressed interest in one each of the four liveries of full brakes and one of each livery of the rebuilt buffet (E versions).
And I've started saving my pennies!

Look on ebay and amazon for foam block with pre-cut cubes that you remove to create suitable slots.

I bought this a few months ago

Be as pedantic as you like Roy! It even says it on the side of the coach  Thanks for pointing that out, I've updated the article.
