N gauge forum 2013 tour ideas

portland-docks · February 20, 2013, 02:04:51 PM

So 2011 we had some container wagons, 2012 a coach...2013?

I suggest add another coach to the rake, start making a train up maybe?

I have the current one, it will be forwarded onto the next member next Tuesday ish after I've taken some good pics.

How about a blue/grey MK1 this year? Since the last was a crimson/cream.

Perhaps a military wagon with a tank on it

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tank!

I second EP's suggestion

Following on from one of our members drive round Britain last year how about a coach tour by road using something like an Oxford Plaxton Elite.

I think you may have missed the point on this topic my friend

A flat car with a tank sounds great

A flatbed with a tank

a toothpaste tank!!!

Tooth paste Tank......Yeah

LOL Thanks all!

It's good to see that there is great interest in the NGF Tours.

It's such a shame that the first coach has been lost and that we've lost contact with SteamerDave. I had put the idea of a 2013 tour on hold to catch up with the time that was lost with the coach, but because of the interest we really should get something going for 2013.

Keep the ideas coming in. The tank and wagon sounds popular so far.

How about a flatbed with a bus on? best of both worlds

OwL · February 20, 2013, 07:10:58 PM

How about an NSE liveried Tank and NSE liveried Bus both on an NSE liveried BDA wagon?

Shiney Sheff · February 20, 2013, 07:50:55 PM

Strange how I missed out this year, obviously need to check in more often

I am certainly up for the new one and another coach or wagon sounds good

Sprintex · February 20, 2013, 08:55:49 PM

A tank would be a bit too way out for me personally, how often do you see a tank being transported on the railway compared to a coach or wagon? Doesn't really "fit in" does it?

It would be a good homage to the creator of this great place though

What about an NGF tourist? One advantage is that it would not cost much to post.
