General Discussion / Re: Railtec TransfersLast post by Jollybob - Yesterday at 01:26:27 AMI did send an email the other day, as I was chasing up an order. He did reply and said he has received a lot of orders and volumes were very high.

Shame as there's stuff in OO and TT120 that I need but the N Gauge version doesn't exist. Yeah i saw those, unfortunately you were let down by my inability to read my own handwriting. what i'm actually wanting is BR ex-LMS 40t Stonebridge Park coal wagons reducing in size https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=5002 #18

N Gauge Discussion / Re: Why Did You Choose to Mode...Last post by TeddytheSpoon - April 09, 2026, 12:32:54 PMModelling in N is perhaps a strong word - all I've really done so far is play trains! Anyway...

What superb little models! I found (and still find) the engineering of these tiny models fascinating. A few weeks later we went to a model show in town and I spotted a British loco and coach in an old Minitrix box. That's odd, I thought Minitrix only did continental stuff... I convinced my dad to buy it, and even convert it to DCC so it could run on his loop of track. It did so quite happily, albeit not very often.
