My grandfather used to have the pre battlespace operating giraffe wagon. That was great - you set the trigger thingies up right so it would duck under bridges.

My kit built double OO9 fairlie is currently relegated to a shelf after one of the tiny pins in the motion broke. To small for me too see to repair these days alas.

Some other definite memories there - as a kid I had Nellie and Polly, and later on the black version of the dock shunter.


Did dabble a bit with OO9 but it never quite grabbed me, ditto NN3. I'll stick to real narrow gauge trainsets
