One of these days... We should start a model railways thread 1 Quote

We should start a model railways thread I'm at the planning stages too for next year when i move it into a Garden Building. Had house layouts but visitors think its a toy so i dismantled it all. Was going to put one in loft but temperature change winter to summer creates problems plus it can affect your house insurance if loft used for more than storage. Bit of a grey area apparently. Big Garden Shed it is then. Dave 1 Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 So are you going to start a thread? 🙂 Quote

dmccombe7 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Are you lot trying to railroad this thread. Sounds like you might be steaming. Dave Quote
Chris Dow Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Thought it was just me but I'm glad to see that there are others that find EC bland. I have never understood the Clapton is God brigade as there are so many better guitarists in my opinion who never received the acclaim EC got. EC is a great guitarist no doubt, but the likes of Rory Gallagher, Peter Green and others far surpass him in the blues dept. But everyone has their choices and tastes. 1 Quote

Dave Just trying to gauge the response and layout the options. Sorry if we’re getting off track but I think you’re missing the points that are being made and not seeing the signals. This is a platform that we can use to discuss whether a model train thread will be successful or whether we should shunt it into the bin. 3 Quote

Coupled with the relevant timetable i'm sure we could train ourselves to travel almost anywhere along the line and perhaps station ourselves at the appropriate junction Dave 1 Quote
