Title: N gauge forum 2013 tour ideas
Post by: portland-docks on February 20, 2013, 02:04:51 PM
So 2011 we had some container wagons, 2012 a coach...2013?

I suggest add another coach to the rake, start making a train up maybe?

How about a blue/grey MK1 this year? Since the last was a crimson/cream.

Following on from one of our members drive round Britain last year how about a coach tour by road using something like an Oxford Plaxton Elite.

I think you may have missed the point on this topic my friend :)

A flat car with a tank sounds great :)

LOL  Thanks all!

It's good to see that there is great interest in the NGF Tours. :thumbsup:  It's such a shame that the first coach has been lost and that we've lost contact with SteamerDave.  I had put the idea of a 2013 tour on hold to catch up with the time that was lost with the coach, but because of the interest we really should get something going for 2013.

Keep the ideas coming in.  The tank and wagon sounds popular so far.  :)

Strange how I missed out this year, obviously need to check in more often  :doh:

I am certainly up for the new one and another coach or wagon sounds good

A tank would be a bit too way out for me personally, how often do you see a tank being transported on the railway compared to a coach or wagon? Doesn't really "fit in" does it? :no:

It would be a good homage to the creator of this great place though  ;)

What about an NGF tourist? One advantage is that it would not cost much to post. ;D

If not a tank, then a tank engine.
NSE of course.

Ok i might be going way of the NGF tour idea but.....  :worried:

How about a unpainted coach/brakevan that as it goes on its travels we could all place or mark with our own idea... when i had the coach i wanted to add some graffiti, i almost added a findus logo to the side but thought better not...

again like i said a little random but could be good fun and a nice challenge for us all..

:hmmm:

Sounds like a job for all those unwanted Royal Wedding hoppers.  Perhaps Peco would like to sponsor it? :P

New Tour = New List  :thumbsup:

And the only person left on the 2012 list is Cookiescrumble, who I spoke to today via PM and sadly he has nothing to run the coach on  :(

So in his absence, and since my layout actually has some scenery on it now, the next person on the list is me  :D

Want me to PM you my address??  :laugh:
