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

dont lie,
it worked fine after you removed some excess packaging
i might (if i remember) post a pic of mine here before sunday...

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,

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

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

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.

Bachmann also makes N and G and H0.

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...

by Geo Ghost
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)
