Quote from: tunneroner61 on August 07, 2020, 09:28:07 PMAs a (G)WR fan I find that some of the attitudes expressed in this thread very negative. As N gauge modelers we should welcome all manufacturers initiatives to bring new models to market not deride them because of a livery issue or not our interest area. These models may not be what interests you but I would whole heartedly support the efforts made to bring  to market previously unlikely models. We all want N gauge to develop so please give support where required.

There seems to be a lot of "naysayers" and negativity in general on forums these days.
Besides that the GWR isn't a popular choice anymore, far too many Western branch lines model railways have been made over the years.

I would buy one and in GWR flavour.

What's an iron, please? Is it a golf club thingy?

It's what you use to solder electrickery wires to your train set

A bit like locos really. You can get electric ones and old fashioned coal ones, and they can be dry or steam. Surprised you didn't know.

I had a pic of my Kawasaki and just gave the instruction "Set the motorcycle in a country winter scene" and got a pretty decent response from Google Gemini. Then opened it with 'Paint' and set a textbox to create a seasonal card for the Club forum. Pretty pleased with it.

Quote from: madchadbrad on December 12, 2025, 08:06:57 PMAny evidence that a "non-driving" BT might have been through fitted for push-pull?

Certainly none built motor fitted, and none listed in the known conversions.
I can't see there would be a need for non-driving brakes - The driving trailers were all brakes, and they weren't intended for routes with high demand for luggage space needing a second van in a two/coach train.

On a slightly different tack, I wonder at the sense of sending out free folded backscenes with an issue, as I don't know anyone who would want a backscene with regularly spaced creases in it

Were the amount of digits on your Divi Number different across different CO-OPs?

I thought ours in Perth Scotland had five numbers although that may have been our shared line telephone number!

I remember the vacuum tubes but also the string pulley system of transferring cash and receipts to the cashier.

Goodness, how we have advanced in seventy years.
