Another N Gauge Deserter.

[longbridge]

Well the time has come to completely reassess this great hobby and I guess my mind is made up.

I have been modelling N Gauge for a considerable time and thought of building a OO gauge layout above the existing N Gauge setup, I bought a few OO coaches, wagons and locos and found them a whole lot easier to handle, this is probably because my eyesight is not being what it used to be.

I am at a stage with the hobby where I would really like to work out a good track plan, build the layout and just enjoy running trains which is something I have done very little of, always to busy building.

Anyhow lads I have really enjoyed being part of this great forum and I hope you all continue to get as much as possible out of our great hobby.

Good luck to All.

Don't be a stranger, good luck to you RailBug...

I could say "don't do it" and all that, but we all have personal decisions to make and clearly this probably hasn't been an easy one. The important thing is that you enjoy the hobby, and if that means a move to 00 then so be it

What I will say is that it doesn't mean banishment from here, nothing stopping you dropping in if you have the time. Of course if you post pictures of 00 stuff we'll have to shoot you but don't let that put you off

Best of luck with the layout Dave, enjoy playing trains.

hi Dave 

it's sad to see you leaving  but whatever you decide you will always have  to come back to

best wishes

You're not deserting the hobby and I must admit that I've never understood why some people are anti one scale or the other. I'm just confused and model both! the best of both worlds.

Best of luck with your Modelling whatever scale it is.

Dave - you old bugger, you.
Just because you're going over to the dark side doesn't mean you have to 'cash in your chips' here
There are, and probably will be, many topics covered on the NGF that would help you in the larger scale so stick with us - we won't take the pi mickey - honest

If you do go, we'll welcome you back when you run out of room. Feel free to drop me a PM now and again to let me know you're OK

All the best

Just because you're playing with bigger toys than the rest of us doesn't mean you can't come on here and chat..does it?

[Oldman]

Dave you would be sorely missed if you go.
The dark side is full of dingos and rOOs,so you need to come on here for your fix of Koalas and boNdi

[Dock Shunter]

 Dave,i think we all hope you will be staying on the forum,even if it is only to chat.
Good luck with your new project and stay in touch.....

Will miss your posts, but understand the reasoning behind the change.

I've "lost" two other pals, one to OO and the other to G for the same reason. Dreading that it might happen to me before I complete my layout here. Happy to stay in touch through PM or email if you like.

All the Best

Sorry to hear , keep in touch with us we need or are beyond all the help we can get !

[Kipper]

I'm with you Dave, and for the same reasons. Having got the garden sorted, and accidently buying a copy of a garden railway magazine, I like the big scales. It will also give me a room back!  I had been looking at some large scale stuff, being sold at the Mansfield toy fair, and whilst quite expensive, I won't need a couple of hundred Mk 1 coaches!

Hope you enjoy working in 4' gauge ..   

I'd really like to dabble in O or 2' gauge but  the bank manager would not be too amused, and the council would I am sure object to a proposal to demolish next door to build a train shed.

Good luck in OO, ORB.  It has been a pleasure to share the hobby with you.  All the best.
