Do you have a team of very hungry midgets that you had build it for you?

I actually liked the 'Westerns', as I posted before I saw D1000 on her first run at
Wolverhampton Low Level, admittedly I was appalled at the colour...Crimson really
suited them, I thought

Small world, I grew up in Moreton, and spent a lot of time in the early/mid 60's at Bidston watching the shunting on the footbridge. Remember getting a train from Liverpool Central Overground, 4-6-0 steamer, to Llandudno with my parents, happier times..

I was engaged to a girl who lived just behind Moreton station when I was young and cuntstruck.

Good bit of advice I was given when I first got involved - never, ever talk to, or even make eye contact, with anyone wearing a guard's hat or who has a whistle hanging round his neck. I saw one of these characters once at the annual N scale show - the expression on his face reminded me of those American preachers - he was just looking to tell someone (anyone) how wonderful his life was since he discovered his inner engine driver.....

However, I do find a reasonable defence against British outline pedants is to mention Japanese N scale. They usually go away and leave me alone then...
