Polished domes were part of Wainwrights elaborate livery. When it was simplified as Farish have reproduced the domes were painted over.

How many coaches in a full set?     I have a couple of eurostar sets in my late friend's collection.

The font size button set the font size to a scale value between and 7 (2 being standard?). You can modify the mark-up added to specify font size in pixels or points:

e.g.
[size=80pt]80pt[/size]
[size=99px]99px[/size]

80pt
99px

N Gauge Discussion / Kato Eurostar Length
Last post by EtchedPixels - Today at 11:37:03 AM
Does anyone happen to have a full length Kato Eurostar to hand they can measure. I have a pretty good guess at the length from the real one scaling 1:160 but could do with a more exact number.

I would challenge that statement. You only have to look at the predominant age group exhibiting or attending shows. It's certainly not youngsters.

Most people under 40 I know are having trouble paying the rent let alone buying model trains, not that they'd have anywhere to put them in their pokey HMO room either.

And a value range really isn't going to help because they have zero money despite working 6 days a week.

Quote from: ntpntpntp on Today at 11:12:01 AMAre you trying to increase the size you're typing at, for your benefit, or are you trying to emphasise the text in a post?

I agree with @weave, 7 is plenty large enough for anything in a post.

Size 7 is adequate (I've amended the post I originally tried it on) but would prefer to have gone slightly larger to emphasise the text
