N Gauge Discussion / Re: How many locos?
Last post by Greygreaser - January 11, 2026, 04:46:08 PM
My spreadsheet  :claphappy: says I've 32 and 8 DMU units. Was going to be happy with 6 BR standard class locos :no:  but the more I researched the Norfolk history the more variants I "needed"! :thumbsup:  Then I discovered that there were more RTR makers than Minitrix and GF  :bounce: so I 'had to try' their versions - consequently my guilt  :angel: has been replaced by a strong pointy finger at the RTR manufacturers. :laughabovepost:
Happy New Buying Year

I remember and like this song. Haven't heard it in a while.

Another old band (with quite a tragic history :( )
I first heard of them when I went to see the film "The Magic Christian" from which their single 'Come and get it' hit the charts. The track I really liked from the soundtrack was 'Carry on till tomorrow' and followed by a single 'No matter what'

About 40 locos or other powered vehicles in use for me. Aim is to keep basically to late 1970s BR blue, but in my imaginary world Diesel Hydraulics lasted till then and some were still in maroon. A few later anachronisms have also crept in, in terms of liveries.
Trying to keep number down to those that will fit on layout, as I don't like locos hidden away in boxes. Have Rapido Class 45 on pre-order though..
Also still a number of old Lima and Minitrix locos hidden away in the cupboard, plus Poole Farish 08s and DMU which occasionally may have a run.

Quote from: Bealman on January 10, 2026, 07:26:18 AMTwo members of the local constabulary just walked through the bowlo looking for underage drinkers. I said, "Okay, I'll come quietly officers"

They were not amused. The only reason they were here was to get out of the 45 degree heat, I'm sure  ;)
They were probably the youngest in the place.  :laugh:  :laugh:
