I did, but prefer the version on Seconds Out with 2 drummers instead of 1½ :)

@port perran
Maybe this will chime more with you........

Well, I don't really know how to respond to that.

I was rather hoping that I'd be converted to Genesis after all these years and was waiting for something to happen at 4-40.

However, no foot tapping here I'm afraid. I found it just a bit of a racket  :D  :D

Sorry.

@Cols   My first N gauge set was a Bachmann diesel freight set bought in Fiji in 1974, to which I added a Grafar Pannier tank and Spam Can which both fell apart quite rapidly whereas the cheap old Bachmann kept on going.  The Minitrix models were far better than contemporary Grafar and Lima.  My Rivarossi Jubilee was also excellent - the "Rolls Royce" of British N steam locos.

I converted to European N in the early 80s and have never looked back.  I'm still running 70s Minitrix, Fleischmann, and Arnold alongside current models.  I suppose I generally consider 60s and 70s models as Ancient :)

Quote from: Will_J on Yesterday at 04:57:02 PMI wonder who supplied the sound project? There are a few for the 37 and they vary in character quite a bit.

I expect its the same as the Bachmann OO version. Very tractor like  :D

Very pleased that the original purchase price plus the additional cost to have @Ensign Elliott weather and renumber my two 4MT tanks from the original 2016 run to late crest Southern region locomotives is still less than the discounted cost of the 2026 run. By quite a long way.

Interesting stuff there Tim @Moonglum and thanks for the link @Newportnobby .

Very Unusually for me I've been listening to a compilation of mine today featuring a selection of my favourite late 60s to early 70s music - the sort of thing I listened to as a teenager. I listen to this compilation about twice a year.

Genesis do not appear in that selection.

I was never a huge fan although I thought  Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme (both of which I bought) were, at the time, reasonably good. I never did think much of Peter Gabriel and all that theatrical stuff which, to me back then, detracted from the music.

Strangely, I never saw them live but then again I probably didn't go out of my way.

I did purchase Selling England by the Pound but quickly sold it again and after that I rather lost interest.

Sorry - for me it's a bit of a thumbs down for Genesis.
