Am I the only one who went "who?" in reaction to the name Peachy. Never heard of them.

I consume way too much YouTube, particularly when I am sitting/standing on a train, so if said individual is popular and model railway related I am surprised the algorithm has not thrown them at me... and I do find plenty of N gauge relevant material - although of course I search it out...

There was a quarterly announcement a few years ago where there was next to nothing announced for N gauge modellers apart from a few Scenecraft item including a toilet block.

Sydney is probably my favourite city in the entire world.
But no British can afford to move and live there anymore.

Quote from: Sharkey51 on Today at 07:06:36 AMAnd for those that can make this excellent voyage, I recommend taking a break along the way at Abbotsford and adjourning to the Sydney Rowing Club. It's right next to the ferry wharf, has a view to die for, excellent community club pricing and a varied and well presented menu of beers and food. What's not to like?!

We always take visitors to lunch from Barangaroo via Rivercat to Sydney Rowers. Can't beat it - much better value than Doyles at Watsons Bay.

But the best new ride in town is the City Metro. We travel into the city on the North Shore line. If we change cross platform to the Metro at Chatswood, we get to Central a full 15 minutes before the train we just got off. Fabulous system, with stations which have won international architectural awards.

N Gauge Discussion / Re: Farish summer announcement...
Last post by Suffolk Rob - Today at 01:16:27 PM
There have been several scenecraft toilet block releases in the last year or so, often in the more sparse announcements for Farish, that have lead to comments, some tongue in cheek, some not so much, about where the Bachmann N gauge priorities are.

I guess that, with another being released this time, someone must by buying them.

Yes it was light for n this time, and that seems to be the way it is every second announcement. But three new tooled locos on their way including the EFE class 23 that were previously announced means still a fair bit to look forward to (provided any fit your area of interest of course) I wouldn't be at all surprised if the next one at the beginning of August is quite light too, or just reissues, but hopefully followed by a video just before TINGs revealing something entirely new or upgraded for sound.

I'm glad I didn't have to watch much, given the lack of anything interesting.

Hi Guys!

Not sure why, but I thought of a couple of points from the OP.... :hmmm:

Quote from: Michanglais on Today at 07:29:48 AMIt would be great if there was someone to 'champion' N gauge like him. Is there anyone? (If not, would anyone be willing? I'd put myself forward but my modelling skills are pretty basic and I don't have a YouTube channel yet...).
YouTube is a bit of a funny place, as most of it depends on the algorithms it detects from your content. I've had a couple of channels for a few years now (one for modelling, the other for films of the real railway) and it can be hard to get noticed. I've had videos that have had a high number of views, and then the next video bombed! There does seem to be some interest in N Gauge modelling, but as the majority are OO gauge, most of the 'bigger' channels are in that scale.
 
Quote from: Michanglais on Today at 07:29:48 AMJust wondering. I'm a fan of the Model Rail Replacement Podcast and there's lots of talk about TT120, but very little for N. Seems there's lots of publicity out there for TT120.
I listen to 'MRRP' too and I do know what you mean about this, but this I think is more down to there own opinions as to what they prefer. One of their last episodes was about what would make them model in N/O and showed that (in my opinion) they have nothing against either of those gauges. James did used to model in N and Tom does produce stuff in N, so its more that TT120 is just a common scale among them.
