Ok been in Epsom hospital since the 7th and had spinal fusion. The drugs have been destroying my brain but I've been brought my normal magazines in. Model rail etc and saw a class 205 thumper in connex livery £139.99 fr kernow.
Phoned bank manager took my n gauge rail fund and wallop bought one.
I love the old class 205 and in connex mmmmm like nse :) but not..
About to be double naughty and buy an oo guage kit of a 205 thumper and nse it up :)
Sorry to go all oo on you but well it looks superb
It's all about n gauge for me (and 207's are better! :P)!!!

My screws that were removed that failed. Now have bigger ones in my spine! How awesome are they :)
I'm looking at them now, mobility was given back to me with these!
I'm so lucky to get them as a reminder I have physical boundarys.
Crikey! They're much bigger than I thought that they'd be.

More drugs required!, you are in danger of overdosing on that OO Stuff. And its not even green..................
Best wishes for a quick recovery.
Very good model, but I agree with Jerry!
Why green? Is connex not a good thing :(

Yes, Connex is a very good thing - definitely when compared to the boring old SR green (and probably when compared to NSE too :P - whoops, making an anarchic statement like that against our leader's favourite livery will probably mean I'm finished as a Mod :laugh:)
But if you are comparing Connex to the current Southern franchise (which has a very attractive green and white livery and is a particular favourite of mine), then it is not quite such a good thing. Don't think the 205 ever got repainted in Southern though.
That does look a lovely model and well done Kernow for bringing it out!
