An album called 'Anthology' was released and a couple of singles came off it. They were, in fact, unreleased demos from the late 70s

N Gauge Discussion / Re: New Peco wagonsLast post by Steven B - May 14, 2026, 12:07:10 PMI love the way this forum loves to speculate rather than asking the manufacturer the question.
From Peco: There's no change to the design of the coupling pocket from the previous wagons using this chassis. @Newportnobby Single bolster wagons became common user in 1922. They'd have been seen all over the country as required. Even before that date loads wouldn't be transferred from LNER wagons to LMS ones just because the load crossed the Pennines - the wagon would have completed the full journey and been sent back empty as soon as possible. #44
N Gauge Discussion / Re: New Peco wagonsLast post by Newportnobby - May 14, 2026, 11:27:22 AMI'd like a couple of bolster wagons but not NE, I can't justify them being so far 'out of territory' so will have to wait and see whether they do a bauxite BR version.
I did have a couple of Minitrix ones some years ago but for some reason I sold them #45
N Gauge Discussion / Re: SPAM (Society for the Pres...Last post by Roy L S - May 14, 2026, 11:14:26 AMI still have a Minitrix A3 "Flying Scotsman" and A4 "Mallard" bought new in the late 80s so in the "jewel case" type box. Neither have been much used so both still in decent nick (a tiny bit of cosmetic "edgewear") and still run well. I have no idea why I kept them so long, neither is a very good representation of the real loco in model form, I guess it is a nostalgia thing

N Gauge Discussion / Re: New Peco wagonsLast post by Bealman - May 14, 2026, 09:49:21 AMI'm not intentionally being negative, but if Peco stays true to form, I don't think it will happen.
Let's hope I'm proved wrong! #47

i may pick up a few. glad peco are producing more. they won't be as detailed and accurate as other manufacturers due to shared underframes but can still be a useful and more budget friendly option. | Please Support Us!
