One of our local N gauge club members has more than 160 and I think I'm right in saying that he doesn't even have a layout to run them on. - Great for the when the club exhibits it's own layouts

I'm sure it'll self correct. If you think locos are expensive try girlfriends

And wives. Then you have to sneak your new purchases past the other half so that she doesn't know you've been buying again.

The joys of being single lol

There's a fabulous feeling of relief when you put the loco on the track, put the box on the storage shelf and switch it on. Whew! She never knew a thing.

I would imagine there are several people all over the world who are model railroaders, or railway modellers who can associate with this.

It's kind of like having ebay on the internet on your office computer. The boss walks in, so you switch over to the Excel spreadsheet before he sees what you are up to....

They know, she just didn't catch you in the act !

I would buy every loco ever made in N if I could - even Lima !

But without a lottery win I'll have to make do with a dozen...

portland-docks · September 11, 2013, 12:36:22 PM

My dad says when you gonna stop buying locos, i said when they stop making them!

texhorse · September 11, 2013, 12:54:58 PM

I have my stuff delivered to work as well. It's just how you get them from the car, past the sentry (or wife), down the garden to the shed. Thankfully, my pockets are deep. If I modelled O Gauge, I'd be screwed....

mereman · September 11, 2013, 12:59:18 PM

Having taken early retirement I don't have that option

But Mrs mereman is very supportive

As for getting rid of the kettles what a silly idea
