Is this group for 32mmNG, or just for toy trains such as Hornby, etc?

What about Hornby's Thomas and Railroad lines?

Nah - they're just toys :-)

My point exactly.

In whose mind had there been no doubt?

They just don't meet your standards, is all.

So what?

They're pretty good models of the prototypes pictured in Awdry's books. ;-)

A friend of mine was technical editor of the Model Engineer magazine and built a /proper/ model locomotive. Anything that does not run on real coal is surely just a toy.

I always knew that diesel locos were just toys.

Plus those huge things that run on preserved lines - historic artefacts that give entertainment to lots of people. but they are also toys cos we play with them.

cheers, Simon

At least they have the right wheel arrangement, unlike many of the wooden toys. My grandson's 'Spencer' A4 is represented as a Bo-Bo.

BTW has anyone modelled a Euroshuttle Bo-Bo-Bo?

" Is this group for 32mmNG, or just for toy trains such as Hornby, etc? "

A phrase including 'red rag' & 'bull' springs to mind.

" some of Hornby's products are certainly aimed primarily at children " .... and help 'pay' for the work involved in the more detailed models.

I don't care what people call them as long as our son enjoys what we build together :-)

It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of fight in the dog.

Then I fear you inhabit a very strange, probably lonely, world.

I wonder if all these TROLL=92s have tactics meeting over a pint of beer, one pint of beer and several straws.

The only time in the groups history when Jerry could been of some use and he goes and dies on us !

Chris

It=92s not etc etc

And I dispize them.

I never thought I'd hear of anyone bemoaning his absence.

He=92s a bit like a broken slab in the pavement that you still walk around even after it=92s repaired. Even a broken slab has it=92s uses like hardcore or JC=92s headstone.
