General Discussion / Re: new cordless drill.Last post by Bigmac - Yesterday at 05:59:07 PMi still cant understand why the larger n gauge manufacturers dont go all in for a really sure fire popular model that hasnt been produced before. IN my case it would be ex lms princess, or a patriot. Ex GW would be King or county. Southern would be a Nelson. I dont model eastern region.
Of these i think a King produced in high volume and attractively priced would be a world wide best seller. #13
General Discussion / Re: new cordless drill.Last post by Bigmac - Yesterday at 05:44:19 PMQuote from: Bob G on Yesterday at 02:09:53 PMWhen I started in N a Minitrix Mk 1 coach was £1.01 discounted to 96p. A Peco 5-plank wagon was 40p and a steel mineral wagon 44p. I think the 15' wheelbase tank wagons were about 65p. The Jubilee was £9.50. There were only a handful of UK RTR locos, and half of those were not to scale or in some cases even recognisable as UK outline! Britannia was £7.17. The Farish Holden tank and 94xx pannier were around a fiver. i cant remember prices when i started--around '75 i think. First loco was the lima 4f--then the farish 94xx. I quickly collected all the british outline stuff--then bought a fleischmann 38. That did it for me--i sold all my british outline and went all out for german steam and old electrics. #14

We were poor but we were happy, and we made do. Peco actually painted a Minitrix V200 to look like a Warship for one of its early N catalogues (a reverse of what was done to a real Warship in preservation, which was painted to look like a V200), hauling a block train of its 15' tanks (later to become TTAs). #19
