N Gauge Forum

The NGF Team wish all a Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year. Have a smashing time and come back safely to us in 2025 for more fun and games in the world of N gauge modelling.
2 weeks until Christmas Eve, wondering what pressies will appear the next day. May you not be disappointed. Santa will be relaxing on Christmas Day with his work done for another year.....

And to you,the team and all your families too

Thanks for all the background work that makes this a great place to drop into.

I should have a couple of nice n gauge "surprises" on the way. Just need to get the lunch done, put the family in front of the telly and fill the table with unitrack.

Rob

Oh, and if you haven't got the brussel sprouts onto the boil they'll have to be for next year's dinner

Merry Christmas to all on here

(I haven't posted on here for a while!  :D )

Happy Christmas to Tank and his family and to the rest of the Team
And to all my friends both real and virtual .
I know my daughter is giving me an N gauge bulldozer ,a J C B and an Excavator to go on my little engineering train ,and Hailstone is building an N gauge warwell kit that was a bit to difficult for my Chunky clumsy fingers to build ,I was getting the New 5 coach Chiltern set but its not out yet .I am getting as much Chiltern Railway stuff as I can even though my layout is basically G W R .I am a RULE ONE MAN and my Daughter has just been passed as a Class 68 driver so I had to have a Clubman, The Chiltern Slam door set and the Bubble cars and then as the Wrexham and Shropshire Railway came through High Wycombe I have that as well .I allways tell visitors that I run what I like on MY layout and point to the shed door if they dont like my views .
Bob .

Thank you for your seasonal wishes, Mick, and thanks to you, @Tank the NGF techies and all the mods for making this the best forum on t'web. I think this has been my best year since I got back into the hobby with great conversation, good advice and wonderful generosity from fellow members. Even though I will probably never meet most of you I feel as if I am among friends. Thank you one and all, and a very merry Christmas to everybody.

Cheers,

Chris

Merry Christmas from the Smith bros.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Bob G  (aka NGS Helpline)

Just to echo some of the previous comments - thank you to Tank, the 'backroom boys' and all the moderators who help keep the foum running well. And a big thank you to all members, whether occasional visitors or pains in regulars for the help, tips and advice freely given.

A very Merry Christmas to one and all.  :beers:

at least HB will have company this christmas. couch potato aka izzy, passed away last night in her sleep.
another to be waiting at rainbow bridge when I get there.
will be quite a reunion after all the losses over the years.

It can be a particularly sad time for some who look around them and see who is missing from the roll call. Take heart from those around us and try to celebrate the lives of loved ones (2 and 4 legged)

So sorry to hear that. It's not been the best of times for you lately, has it? Sincerely hope 2025 is better for you.

All good wishes,

Chris

The Rainbow Bridge will be a heck of a party when we all get there! So sorry for your loss.

I wish all of you a merry christmas.

Sorry this is G scale rather than N but at least  I built both PPM 50 and station building myself. Years of experience has taught me not to run N gauge in real snow.

Seems like Christmas is over...  :veryangry:  :no:
Fresh on the shelves today! Get 'em while you can.. :uneasy:

Happy Easter everyone  ::)

Happy Christmas One and All! from the Land of the Rising Sun - we will be there 9 hours ahead of the UK with it already being 9PM Christmas Eve here. Hope you all get the N-gauge presents you asked for!

Colin.

Happy Christmas everyone. I think a white one is out of the question, it's 15°C here in North Wales.

Happy Christmas, everyone, and wishing you all a fabulous new year!

I doubt I'll be getting any N-gauge pressies this year  :*(  but my son will be getting an OO gauge trainset, so at least I'll get to play trains with him. He's only 4 1/2... but I couldn't wait any longer!

A warm and sunny Christmas morning here in Australia. Merry Christmas everyone! :beers:

Nadolig Llawen!

Merry Christmas from Winchester - our temporary home for a couple more days before a trip to Scotland to sample some whisky and haggis then back to LA for New Year! Thanks to all for all the advice, brickbats and encouragement again this year!

Cheers to @emjaybee for another great pub lunch. Same time, same bat-location next year!

Happy Christmas from Melbourne. Hope you all have a wonderful, safe and healthy time.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone!

Thanks to everyone for their moral support over the last four months, its been much appreciated.

Great to see @LASteve & Jill at the weekend for a lovely meal & a good catch up. Yes, I'll sort out the pub again next year, assuming, of course, that this one remains open!

 :hellosign:
MERRY CHRISTMAS one & all from NORTH CORNWALL
  :beers: stay safe regards Derek

Probably due to the sheer number of brussel sprouts consumed :worried:

What were you doing up at 5am, Mick? Watching out for Santa?

Happy Christmas!

Chris

Is that the Devizes Kazoo Appreciation Society?

I think it was actually the Teignmough Wall Association of Terrible Sounds

Or even Teignmouth Wall Association of Terrible Spelling :P

Bless. Having been in a school orchestra many years ago, I know the frustration of everyone else being off key and off tempo....

It's a bit too cold for surfing to be fair. Unless you live in Newquay as they're all mad.

And (you'll be glad to know) finally........
