Interesting.    I haven't pushed past 10 US wagons, but creeping at about 10-15 scale mph with no slip I figure it's good for 12-15 British wagons or 8 Coaches.

Yeah, that little (but heavy!) 22 is awesome. Lost lights at one end, but besides that she's great. DCC fitted which may be moot but...

Quote from: lil chris on June 17, 2026, 08:19:51 PMJust got some good news today, following my checkup scan in May I have been told I am still all clear. For anyone who does not know I had cancer in 2023 and had a opperation, then had chemo in 2024 and was told all clear. So well happy, I had a feeling it would be ok because I was booked a telephone appointment, but still glad to find out proper. Been told by the hospital they will be keeping a check on me for the next 5 years, which is good to know.

Congratulations, Chris! That's great news.

Sadly, The Princess of Dots left us on Monday, 2 months shy of her 15th birthday, after a long fight with arthritis and kidney disease.

Not a happy time, but the only decision we could make. We cannot do this again, we can't face the pain.



Farewell Tilly, Floradancer Miss Tenderah. You did so much to enrich our lives and we loved you for it.

And another one, although a light service is required to get above a crawl (and my track needs a clean in fairness). D822 Sir Edward Elgar or something   

Obviously having a flipping lie down, before anyone says anything...

When it was announced that the GT3 was to be produced in N gauge I was interested, but got a bad feeling about the company so didn't proceed. As it happened they chose not to go forward with this product so I was never in danger of losing any money.

I keep wanting to say "No Kings" but then we'd not have got Sharks or Mermaids either! (there are some political jokes in there if you look hard enough).

I bet you guys have the same sick sense of humor that we had in the Navy. One guy would get a pack of m&ms in the mail, sort them out by color and gather up the ones that had a cracked shell. At the end of the day, he'd go to the fantail and flick each one, one at a time, into Davey Jones' locker.

I get a kick out of this guy.

Yes, exactly. On a curve. 

Yeah, it's like living with a bunch of 13 year olds.
