I have just ordered a Dapol O gauge Terrier. In my defence I can say that they are my favourite loco and that I have a large litter of them in N and OO.

The O gauge example will go on display as I won't have the space or money to build a layout.

It's just such a beautiful model I couldn't resist it.

OK, who wants to start the exorcism & excommunication ?

That's cool.

My favourite North American locomotive is the SD40-2. I now have a G scale and an HO version as well as 4 N scale Kato examples with 3 more Intermountains on order. Lionel makes an O gauge version and that's next.

I had a Dapol N gauge Terrier, but it was not capable of getting around my mainline loop without stalling so it had to go. Too bad!

Ive had 2 of the N gauge terrier beauties for several years now and did hope to have them chipped (professionally) shortly. Unfortunately I told that they cant be done so they will have to reside in my loco museum once its constructed  :'(

Now come on guys. We can't excommunicate Ronnie. So she has a weakness for a particular kettle. At least she also has a N gauge model (and very nice it is to).

Mind you, O gauge is quite big, evan for such a little 0-6-0 !

I'm likely going to do the same thing. It looks a lovely model, and amazingly well priced for what it is.

I know the feeling! Built a few O Gauge kits from Parkside Dundas, and they're an absolute treat to do. My aim is to build a garden railway of some sort, a simple loop around a rockery or something along those lines. At least, that's my justification for buying the O Gauge stuff!

I can understand your problem as I have models in O, On30, OO , N and T gauges and I think there is some Z around somewhere. :laugh3:
