Yes 0 Gauge is very desirable and so is the new 08 shunter

Pete Waterman has a complate O gauge layout in a barn and with his cash who can blame him. I hate to say this on a N Gauge site but deep inside us all is a spark of pure O gauge love and desire. It's fully ok though because medically trained people will understand that it is in our genes........ Any model rail enthusiast has O gauge DNA in their blood due to the fact it was really the first model railway gauge ever mass produced.
Just like we all have caveman DNA in our blood (that's why men still like lighting bonfires  ) and N Gaugers will always want to play with O gauge.

Well I think the home page of this forum should have a warning sign stating:

WARNING - MAY CONTAIN NUTS!

I am hoping I can get hold of one too, and make a little diorama with a dirty old 08 640 at the buffers.  Superb idea.  The perfect engine for an O gauge diorama.

Do 0 gauge and the word micro go together

Errr........I'll get me cloak

This is the sort of thing i had in mind Mick.......

With a RRP of £199 i am very much thinking of making a small O guage layout featuring the announced Dapol 08, i know everyone else will be too but i love 08's and i may get one just with a display case,,,,,,

Hello 'Mad But',

I've always held some affection for 08s and O gauge - it's certainly better than OO which falls in to the gap between the benefits of N and O and offers nothing as a USP. So, yep, I may also get a Dapol O 08, after all I was seriously considering a Heljan or JLTRT O 33 which is another fave loco of mine. But it wouldn't mean an end of N gauge for me; after all there's always room for more than one modelling interest in life (I've just ordered a 1/350 scale model kit of Warspite and etched details for it - just look at these pics of it);
