N Gauge Discussion / Kato Eurostar Length
Last post by EtchedPixels - May 22, 2026, 11:37:03 AM
Does anyone happen to have a full length Kato Eurostar to hand they can measure. I have a pretty good guess at the length from the real one scaling 1:160 but could do with a more exact number.

I would challenge that statement. You only have to look at the predominant age group exhibiting or attending shows. It's certainly not youngsters.

Most people under 40 I know are having trouble paying the rent let alone buying model trains, not that they'd have anywhere to put them in their pokey HMO room either.

And a value range really isn't going to help because they have zero money despite working 6 days a week.

I agree with @weave, 7 is plenty large enough for anything in a post.

LARGE TEXT

Size 7 is adequate (I've amended the post I originally tried it on) but would prefer to have gone slightly larger to emphasise the text

Try entering this into Google, assuming you are using Windows: "Make text larger on screen windows"

Mine is the original release Nobby and the dome is green. As far as I'm aware, that and the recent one are the only two released in that livery

If I try to increase the font size of something I've typed I use the toolbar symbol and am offered a max size of 7.
If I then change that 7 to 20, all I get is [size20]WHAT I TYPED[size] with no change at all to the font size. Grrrrrrr
