Title: The Night Mail (NGF version)
Post by: Sprintex on August 08, 2013, 10:10:37 AM
This is the night mail crossing the border,
bringing all the NGF orders,
Boxes and boxes of miniature kettles,
destined to run over N gauge metals,

Steamers in green and BR black,
and colourful coaches to put on the back,
Diesels from Deltics to tiny 03s,
(mine will be one of the HSTs ;) )

Multiple Units and Railcars galore,
and more little wagons than you ever saw,
Container trains, box vans, cement wagons too,
brake vans and milk tanks to name but a few. 

Bolsters and ballasters, what more could you ask?
There's even one carrying a nuclear flask!
7-planks and oil tanks and hoppers for coal,
the latest from Farish, Peco and Dapol,

This is the night mail crossing the border,
bringing the Hattons and Rails online order,
Buying new N gauge is fun there's no doubt,
just cross your fingers the wife don't find out! :D

The FGW train ain't crossing no border
Brakes don't work and the bog's out of order
The passengers angry, they've run out of grub
And the driver and guard have gone off to the pub
The PR guy says we'll refund your ticket
But the passengers tell him where he can stick it... :D
