Moving to the dark side

:'(  I have made the decision after much deliberation to move to the dark side (OO) sadly.

I have given N Gauge my best shot but part way into my first layout I now realise that my poor eyesight just isn't good enough to see me thru if you'll pardon the pun!

I have to say, Pete at Rails were fantastic yesterday and allowed me to take back the stuff I had purchased this last couple of weeks and not opened or used and swap it for OO gauge goodies. Although sad that I can't see well enough to master N Gauge I was smiling like a kid in a candy store on my way home with a shiny new Britannia Class Steamer (Clive of India) complete with digital sound though and enough points and track to build a slightly adjusted version of my original plan.

I would like to remain a member of the forum though if that's ok with the mods as the friendly and advice I have been given to date has been invaluable.
Needless to say I have quite a few bits to sell now including code 55 track & points, magnetic coupling bits, coaches, vehicles etc.  If anyone is interested you could perhaps message me for more info.
Cheers
Ian

Ian,

Sorry to here this, I believe I was in Rails at the same time as you on Wednesday and I've only just twigged that it was you who tested the sound loco as me and Ollie we're testing the 5MT's.

Good luck with the 00 layout.

All the best,

Steve

I'm from Mansfield but more than happy to drive over there, the service is fantastic.

I couldn't agree more Steve.  They have really looked after me during my change and I can't praise them highly enough especially Pete & Ollie.

Perhaps Tank or the mods could set a forum for the oversized outcasts or OO for short.

  What a good idea.

All the best Ian.

Pop in from time to time and let us know how you and the new layout are doing.

Here, here, at least 5 years compulsory community service, no internet for at least a year and for a repeat offender, all their models seized and sold to benefit the N gauge community.  Far too lenient these days, that's the problem.

But just think of the sparks you could get when you short circuit at that scale
