Err, Lima also _claimed_ to model a German goods steam loco at about the same time, but it was much less recognisable than the 4F!!!

Certainly, but if you look through the other end of the telescope ... ;-)

All British 0-6-0s look the same anyway! ;-)

That model was released while Hornby were still producing their 1950s Jinty chassied Class 08 without apology.

Only ones with tenders. Theres a big variation in tank types - saddle, pannier, well..

True, but take away the tanks and they look just like British 0-6-0s without tenders fitted. ;-)

Maybe so but this is how BRITISH people react to floods:-

Around here we don't count floods until the road-rollers get washed away! We had a 1 in 150 year flood the week before last and a 1 in 120 year flood 3 months ago.

In Holland we don't count floods until we're left clinging to the chimney on the roof :oP

I didn't mean to denigrate Britain's floods - I'm sure they think they have problems! NZ is much like Holland built on a circa 45 degree (average) slope - when the water reaches the roofs things tend to get washed away! OTOH we do tend to lose the odd bridge and railway line when the rainfall tops

300mm in 24 hours.

We don't believe they have had a flood in NZ unless their Locos wash up on Bondi Beach. Graeme Hearn

We've had all of that in the past month or so.

3 months ago could have been the end of the last 120 years and last week could have been the start of the next 150 years.

They may well have washed up on Bondi beach as they're not back to running past here yet! :-(

The question has been asked here too! Judging from the calender it's not a case of time going faster than I imagined. The weather experts say that it's a case of how often we can expect rainfall events of the amounts experienced, based on rainfall records. - which makes some sense.

Us too - while we are still cleaning up from the flood 3 months ago!

I'm more inclined to think we have some evidence of climate change.
