(for the youngsters mongus it's a 'goes under' get it, knudge, knudge)

,
No

! a total mystery, it has taken a bid for freedom, else it all happened in an alternate reality

I shall have to take the cave apart as some time this summer, if only to see what number it carries (or did carry ! )
Assuming it does not evaporate meanwhile with Hawking Radiation

You mean to say that you are still trusted to actually HAVE marbles to lose?

Just wondering (as one does)

Actually no I don't, they were taken away from me by the Domestic Overlord years ago for "safe keeping" I do have a drawing of my marbles which I hide under the bed and look at sometimes

My domestic overlord keeps me under the bed as she says I'm a little potty!

So do I. I mean under my Grandma's bed, not yours.

As regards to the lost wagon, can someone point me in the right direction to finding my soldering iron, I put it down somewhere and for the life of me I cannot remember where!

If you are looking for it on my behalf please remember that it MIGHT still be switched on!

I feel for anyone losing a wagon, I lost several the other day! (Malc?)

I think if it was on, you'd probably have found it by now (ouch) or the house would have burned down...

Oh, this is very strange,
I cant find the NR44FA, FB and FC either !
The pages from which I ordered at Cheltenham Models have vanished,
yet I have in front of me* the shipping bill which clearly shows those three wagons !
Best I can do is link this page at Kernow for one of them !
http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/35168/NR44FA_Peco_Butterley_Steel_Coal_Wagon_number_B170121

I think Railsquid is right, it is QM
pray that all three were not quantum entangled, else when I destroy the other two the whole universe will cease to exist, , ,

wot is going on, I wish I had stayed in bed !

I think you will find that NR-44F is a particular type/livery of the wagon (in this case BR Bauxite), and the A B C at the end denote wagons with different running numbers...

Kernow have all three (FA, FB and FC) and a weathered version (FW) listed here:

EDIT: the weathered version is out of stock...

If it is on then that will make finding it much easier :
rather than waiting for the house to burn down to reveal it, what you need is an shady arms dealer - you purchase a heat-seeking missile and aim it in the general direction of your cave.
Warning : it is advisable to get an adult to assist you.
Oh and it works best, if less spectacularly, if the warhead is not armed.

Thanks,yes those are they, so I have a pair of B171510(FB) and three packages one each of FA, FB and FC !
All Peco original packages with their little clear plastic box, sealed ( no sign of tampering - I know shop customers can be a little odd sometimes ) so it would seem that a Peco assembly line took a hit from Charlie Chaplin

Bit drastic!

I found it in the greenhouse, don't ask me why I took it in there because I have no idea!
