That's funny Mick, I listened to "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" last night, not quite as good as I remember. Overall though, I was never into his work. According to the internet, he lived in the same road as me (which I didn't know), then moved twice locally to end up in a small block of nearby flats (which I did know) after his parents divorced. Both my mother and sister-in-law went to the same school in Pinner as he did - so there!

Oddly, he has recorded with both Steven Wilson and Kate Bush both of which I have.

I claim the fifth amendment... Oh and did you know N gauge storage takes up 1/8th the volume of OO? So you can have 8 times as many trains in N as you can in OO for the same storage space.

 

i Have 20 plus a DMU.
5 are rule one, the rest are plausibly British rail Eastern region Era4 - they are probably more of a 'one of each' collection rather than a prototypical MPD roster but then i do not have a layout yet - there are another 3-4 i have yet to obtain/ waiting to be released

i stopped counting after 100.
I started in N gauge in the late 60s---but had a long hiatus in the 90s /early 00ies.

I collect early BR steam that i saw or could have seen as a young spotter; but a few anomalies are creeping in.

And he did. I only have one EJ track on the USB and it's 'Funeral for a friend/Love lies bleeding' off 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road'

I was getting a quick youtube update of today's highlights and it was interrupted by some "happiness" ad, and then it dawned on me.

Gotta luv ya lamb!

"I didn't know they sold tools!" Ha.

There's always next time in England, but before then we have the Sesquicentenary test at the MCC in March 2027.

Around a dozen in working order, a few more in various states of build or repair. Very eclectic mix as much of it is show bargains I liked the look of.

But in terms of collecting towards a layout I try to find things to suit the West Highland Line of any period, or early BR south Wales steam.

The standard answer would appear to be "I want one more than I currently have"

For an Exhibition layout, I would say the sensible ideal is "two for each job" to cover for failures/servicing/cleaning and keep the show going...
