go and have a look at this when you've calmed down a bit.

I have one of these. http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/6/0/9/6609.1103357700.jpg
She doesn't like 9" curves for some reason? Strange as they're only a scale 98ft long.

Go for a class 08. This is steam era for sure although being diesel and the 08's con rods remind steam buffs of steam engine pistons......................................... Go on, you know you want to.....................

The rot set in with me buying an 08 (with the intention of using the chassis for a G9 (1:20.3 scale, 9mm track) loco) but it was just too nice to take apart. To my shame I've now an 04 and another 08 on the way, and am starting like BR blue. I've caught myself watching videos of clag on You Tube.

Are there any tablets, or possibly cream for this?

While this

is a thing of beauty, so now is this

and I'm getting worried about my grip on reality

Nurse... nuuuuurse

A kettle fan buying a 37 - much like a vegetarian after smelling bacon! You couldn't pick a much better diesel than a 37!

Sounds as if nurse will need to bring you a nice tight straight jacket to rest 24/7 in for several years
