There are many alternatives highlighted in the Vehicles sub-forum... However, if you are looking for "Cheaper Than Oxford" you are likely to be disappointed... Oxford are the cheapest ready-to-use...
To get cheaper you are looking at the bottom end of the 3D print and Whitemetal casting market which you will need to paint/finish for yourself, and some bear so little resemblance to what they purport to be, the kindest thing you can say is they have the right number of wheels..  :(

Apologies I'm unsure whether seeking up to date photos or sime dating back to 40 50 years ago...Chris

As Eli prepared to share her thoughts with Giles, she paused for a moment, gently squeezing his gloved hand. Her gaze met his, conveying a depth of understanding and connection. Her voice was soft yet firm as she began to speak.

"Your willingness to share your struggles, your trust in me and my friends, it's created a deep connection between you and me," she said, her bright blue eyes never leaving his. "Your shared vulnerability has brought us closer. It's enabled me to see you in a new light and deepened our bond."

She gave his hand another gentle squeeze, her expression earnest. "I see you, Giles, not just for who you are, but for the strength and leadership that defines you."

Her words hung in the air between them, a testament to the bond they had formed. As she finished speaking, she gave him a warm, reassuring smile. It was a moment of understanding, of shared connection, and of mutual respect. Their gloved hands remained intertwined, a symbol of their growing bond.

As Eli's words are muffled by the falling snow, she pauses, allowing the depth of their conversation to settle. Her bright blue eyes, usually vibrant and lively, soften under her snowflake-dotted dark blue woollen hat, meeting Giles' gaze with newfound understanding. She reaches up, her gloved right hand trembling slightly in the cold, and places it gently on his arm, over the thick fabric of his winter coat. It is a silent affirmation of the bond they have just deepened, her hand lightly brushing the snowflakes off the rough material in a gesture of care and understanding.

Her other hand, snug within its glove, moves to rest over her heart, pressing gently against the layers of her winter clothing, a gesture common to the Karadow. It is as if she is trying to physically manifest the emotional connection they have forged together, her posture open and inviting despite the bulky winter wear. The corners of her full lips, chapped slightly from the cold, lift into a small, sincere smile, a silent promise of the trust and understanding that now defines their relationship. It is a simple gesture, made all the more poignant by the falling snow around them, a demonstration of the depth of their connection.

"Eli, I... I'm at a loss for words. I feel deeply touched by your understanding and acceptance of my vulnerability. It's as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I feel a sense of relief. Your words have encouraged me to continue being open about my feelings and struggles. I must admit, I'm a bit surprised by your insight and understanding, but in a good way", he smiled.

"This conversation, your words, they mean a lot to me, Eli. They've brought us closer, and I appreciate that. Thank you for seeing me, for understanding me, and for accepting me. It truly deepens our bond."

As Giles finishes speaking, a silence falls between them. Eli, with her short, bright auburn hair catching the reflected moonlight, gazes up at him. Her bright blue cornflower eyes, usually sparkling with youthful energy, now hold a depth of understanding and empathy that belies her twenty-two summers. Her freckled face is serious, her full lips slightly parted as if to speak, but no words come out.

Giles, towering over her at his six feet two inches tall, looks down into those captivating eyes. His gaze softens, reflecting the relief and surprise he had just confessed to feeling. The corners of his mouth twitch upwards in a small, appreciative smile.

Their eyes lock, and in that long moment, a silent conversation passes between them. It is a look of mutual respect and understanding, a shared vulnerability that has brought them closer. The air around them seems to pulse with the intensity of their connection, and for a moment, everyone and everything else in the Castle Courtyard fades away. It is just Eli and Giles, understanding and being understood, their bond deepening with each passing second. It is a profound moment, one that they'll both remember for the rest of their long lives.

N Gauge Discussion / Ferme park pictures request
Last post by Intercity - Today at 02:03:59 AM
Looking for a little help with a servicing point, I am trying to recreate a servicing location based on Ferme park (I think I have the location right), it's where the 91s stopped and the cleaners went through the train and retention tanks got emptied before heading upto Bowes Park headhunt and back into Bounds Green.

I've been trying to find pictures but to no avail, if anyone knows of any please let me know (I may be wording my searches incorrectly).

The plan is to use the Farish Servicing point or 2-3 depending on length.

Many thanks

Quote from: Foxhound on Yesterday at 12:30:37 PMThe Kingsteignton bypass is a 40 and it should be a 60, it's painful to drive on. The average speed cameras are gainfully employed nabbing the Grockles every summer.

I received a generous offer of a speed awareness course which I have booked to do next Friday during work hours and online so at least I can have a coffee whilst being preached to for doing the crazy speed of 36mph along here:



Still cost me £89 though  :veryangry:

Sorry but the Knowledge Bank category is not really the right place to be asking questions.

Would be better as a topic under N Gauge Discussion > Vehicles with a title which reflects the question being asked?
