On the topic of trains...

Post by Billy »

I thought that if anyone loves trains you might like to visit my site dedicated to a miniature railway i have been a member of for years, i also have a forum/messageboard for talking miniature railways and trains in general.

I have recently re-designed the site and would like a little feedback on the forum of what people think of it :) any feedback would be great!

Thanks people!

Thats pretty impressive. I always wondered how such little locomotives can generate all that power. We have something like that in Sydney, except the tracks are all at ground level, and the scale is a lot bigger. The passenger coaches are in scale with the locomotives, and passengers sit with one leg over each side of the passenger carriage.

However, it doesn't hang over the rails like that one does.

Thats a very nice site, looks like a lot of fun - Boys with their Toys :)).

I used to go there regularly with my father and brother when I was young. They got a larger track when they redid the park. It's quite fun to see those little engines move around, easily pulling 6-8 coaches packed with eager kids (mainly boys).

[23:14] r: Don't diss Beck, he invented music!
[23:15] Dave: That's like saying the current pope invented Catholicism.

00:09]r: Heh, no-one's replied to your gay thread
[00:10] Dave: Your mom.
[00:11] r: Say what you want about her, she's a c**t
[00:11] Dave: I take a similar dim view of my own mother.
[00:11]r: Did yours leave your dad for a posh tw*t with a mullet and a handlebar moustache then take what was supposed to be your money for uni as part of the divorce settlement?
[00:12] Dave: Sadly not.
[00:13] r: You know what that means then?
[00:13] r: That means I win.
