Yep, the good news is I managed to get N Gauge Forum mentioned on BBC Radio 2 this morning  :claphappy:

The bad news is it was shortly before 4.30am, but you can't have everything  :D


Driving about in the wee small hours I regularly listen to Alex Lester's programme, which consists of all sorts of interactive sillyness just for a laugh. On fridays he gets people to text in why it's a "feelgood friday" for them. If you go to the following link to "listen again" it's at about 2:25 in:-

There was a bit of gentle ribbing but all in good fun :thumbsup:

Took a bit of getting to the spot, but finally heard the clip. Nice one Paul, fame at last. I used to be a regular listener, but since I retired, I sleep a bit later.
The years have been good to me, it was the weekends that did the damage.

Are you sure it was you, Paul - there was no mention of a HST or a Sierra :laugh: :laugh:

Likewise I must have heard the same part of 'I'm a believer' many times before getting to the clip and it was worth it. Great job Paul - well done  :claphappy: :claphappy:
Just one Pendolino, give it to me, a beautiful train, from Italy

Nice one Paul, well done for sacrificing yourself in the name of the N Gauge Forum, he did give you a bit of stick didn't, rotten guy.

"Is N gauge bigger than 00?". Another reason to be known as The Dark Lord.  :laugh:

I think by some of the comments he made he might like to go to Ally Pally - providing no one saw him!  :laugh:

:NGF:
Today's Experts were yesterday's Beginners :)

He did add later in the programme that the Producer had been online and found that N Gauge is actually SMALLER than the 00 he had as a child :D

Well done Sprintex!  Just the sort of thing we need. :music:

Here is the clip that will save you all searching through the programme for it  ;)

You may need to turn your volume up a bit  :-[

I heard this at 4:30 this morning just after booking on as I was driving to the depot to take my train out...

Nearly sprayed my tea all over the windscreen in the car. Well done that man...
