A 'Peachy TT120' for British N gauge?

I'm perhaps being unkind, but the NGS doesn't seem the most forward thinking on such matters. That the 'official' forum is hosted on groups.io speaks volumes!

Nothing wrong with groups.io - it's just a different style of interaction.

But yes, the NGS can be a bit slow about these kind of things. Thats because it's entirely run by volunteers, and no-one is coming forward to volunteer. Anyone who wants to help the NGS get better at what it does only has to volunteer.

Groups.io is awful! It has no redeeming features I can think of.

I did volunteer to help with what I think is a credibility issue with the NGS. I got a perfunctory acceptance on one occasion, then nothing. Got the impression they were happy with how things were and didn't want to resolve issues. That's not an inherent issue of course, but I didn't bother renewing my membership.

Given the NGS makes/commissions their own models it begs the question about whether they would be the right organisation to 'lobby' the industry at large, although again I'm not sure how much lobbying Peachy does.

That said when I started 3D printing TT:120 he got in touch with encouragement and he offered to link to a website some centralised repository he has/had of TT:120 suppliers.
