Could spawn a whole new cartoon series with a cat called DC, dressed like the Fat Controller ?

Day 4 and still trying to reset the dog?

Quote from: Bigmac on <strong>Today</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!

I hope we're beyond 'close enough' in RTR n gauge these days. Obviously for a conversion the expectation is  different.

Quote from: Newportnobby on <strong>Today</strong> at 11:18:37 AMI saw an acquaintance in the supermarket this morning and it looked as if he was laying in emergency stocks like so many others have done. When I asked if he had a gas cooker he said no, and when I asked if he had a camping gas stove he looked me as if I was mad. I told him he could have a house full of emergency supplies but chances are there'll be no power to cook 'em with

Didn't you also ask if he'd bought a "cremation" package? ?

I reckon Hengist (and his brother, Horsa) might have something to say about that

As explained in this thread - https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=67108.msg891528#msg891528

I always wanted to make hengist, 100th BR standard class.

Everyone has explained everything perfectly, but what I will add is that if you click your username at the very top of the forum, you'll then see "My Posts" appear as one of the buttons.  This will show the posts that you've made when clicked.

be eating one of them "cold collations" then. Tin of corned beef, tin of cold baked beans poured over the top - nothing quite like it 

More bad luck if you only have an electric can opener for the beans
