Gas BBQ,
three primus gas stoves + spare canisters,
generator,
two freezers rammed with food,
two kitchen cupboards rammed with bottles & cans,
bottled water,
loo roll,
kitchen roll,...

that's just our normal life. 

Oh, & four shotguns, two rifles & an air rifle.

Presumably the kitchen rolls are to mop up the blood resulting from the use of the shotguns

Quote from: GlenEglise on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 09:01:55 PMSeems there has also been a surge in purchases of toilet paper.......

For a three day emergency?

GE

But mention 'emergency' and many people fill their pants

The Baby Deltics were a Class of ten as were the Clan Locos

Very True...
But which one is a STEAM loco previously released by FARISH and therefore relevant to the subject of this thread?? 

OK mea culpa

My sole purchase to 'comply with instructions' was a tin of Irish Stew, which I can open but may have to be heated with a blow lamp (I hope there's enough gas in it)...

Quote from: Bigmac on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 11:45:50 AMwould the difference in boiler size even be noticeable in N gauge ?

When i restarted in n gauge 8? years ago---someone had listed a number of minitrix Brits renamed and numbered as Clans--i was lucky enough to get one ( £40 !!! )  . Back then i thought the clans had smaller driving wheels than the Brits.

Personally I think the difference is very noticeable, the "Clan" as a result of the smaller boiler (which in itself looks different) having a taller chimney, but as with all things it is a matter of personal opinion/choice.

That said, the Minitrix Brit is already "wrong" in so many ways that sticking a Clan name and number on it without alteration probably won't matter to some one bit which is absolutely as it should be!

Roy

according to wikipedia both brit and clan had br1 boilers.
can anyone confirm the size differences?

Quote from: GlenEglise on October 27, 2026, 11:12:57 PMHmm a small class of ten, like the Baby Deltics?

You are having a laugh right?

I didn't realise the (EFE) Baby Deltic was a RE-RELEASE of a FARISH STEAM loco (per the title and OP of the thread)...
Perhaps being coal fired was their ultimate flaw...

It's certainly possibly to set up regular payments in PayPal.   Not a bad idea in this case

I was caught out once by a dodgy trial of some image editing software, which managed to set up a subscription in my PayPal without making it obvious that's what it was going to do. According to trustpilot and other similar review sites it caught out a lot of people who thought they were just paying a few pennies for a one-off trial but it set up subscriptions for something like £45 per month . Fortunately I spotted it and killed it off before any money was paid over.
