You're not telling me you're running a clan without an IRC Channel?

o right, yes. a website was in development (from the old freewebs one) but its about 6 months over due! in short, i cant be bothered to make it.

i dont think we should stray to much of this topic by the way

Well, the company that gave me the royal train are replacing it for another one tomorrow. Woo!

why's that?
was your faulty?

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 05 Jan 2005 20:23

'twas faulty indeed

John · Post by **John** » 05 Jan 2005 20:24

dont lie,

it worked fine after you removed some excess packaging

i might (if i remember) post a pic of mine here before sunday...

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 05 Jan 2005 20:28

the 'excess packaging' was half of the pistons though. I paid for a full non-damaged one!

what was wrong with it? damage? or bad gizmo's (the bits and bobs inside)
Edit:
ah ha, no surprice thats it faulty... its Hornby

they get a lot of faulty stuff.
if its detail you want, go for bachmann. they have absolutly great detail on models,

John · Post by **John** » 05 Jan 2005 20:54

the pistons on one side of the train where mangled, so the wheels couldnt turn...

SEW EM! (thats my answer to everything, i dont actually mean it) thats odd of hornby. they normally keep the train in good condition, just some times, the moters, and electronic stuff inside goes faulty not my sweet little queen mary though

-shown below) iv'e had it for many years. it was the very first train i got

just when i was putting those models away, one almost fell of the desk, i dont think iv'e ever moved so fast before, and not actually ment to, like i didnt even tell my self to do

could you keep the number of smileys little smaller?

YouTube · Post by **Geo Ghost** » 05 Jan 2005 22:07

yea, sorry, i get a bit over the top with using them. a way of expressing myself!
That any better?

im just taking a load of pix of my trains, and putting them in a small pic. i wanna see what people think of them

Edit:
the pics are a bit big to show unfortunately sorry. The MAXIMUM, space they take up it 9.1MB!!! a lot more then i though! I’ll find away, i always do!

Edit2:

this is the best i can do...
Read descriptions for more details

is the virgin voyager OH or OO?

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 05 Jan 2005 23:55

Im getting an intercity 125 next time. Hopefully Hornby still make them in trainsets and not separately

yes, HO/OO (or both) it works with both hornby aswell as bachmann. very good

The intercity 225 is good. very nice, but it does have a few problems (i.e the lose cog is the main thing) its very common with that type of train. no one knows actually why, which is odd

Bachmann and Hornby both produce OO models.

Villem · Post by **Villem** » 06 Jan 2005 12:47

Bachmann also makes N and G and H0.

Archonix · Post by **Archonix** » 06 Jan 2005 12:55

Yeah, but their british outline are all OO. It's a shame, really. I'd prefer HO. It'd allow a Great American Tour of British locos...

YouTube · Post by **Geo Ghost** » 06 Jan 2005 13:36

well, theres not a lot of difference between HO and OO. because on the packages, its often 'HO/OO'
o well. im just ganna leave it at that

did u like those pics? how much do u think there all worth? (no im not selling)
