Model Railways

[LustyLew]

Well and truly belonging in The Geek Zone!

Anyone here into/got a model railway?

Looking a putting together a small 'OO' setup... If the cat doesn't try and eat it!

[Im-a-Ridah]

I bet it works better than the real railway

[thx1138]

there is quite a long thread about model railways somewhere in the depths of BCF, probably in general chat

I had one, but I gave it to my dad, I had an N gauge, it gets really messy cos there are so many variants of gauges

he had OO, N and Z, but has finally settled on N and it's all computer controlled with little doodahs that control the speeds in the trains and stuff, rather than the power through the track, quite cool really

I prefer OO cos it is less fiddly

My dad is just getting back into it, oddly I'm taking him to a train fair thing on Saturday in Beckenham.

He has OO, so might find a deal or two for him there. I would like to, but my time is eaten up in games.

If your dad's just getting back into it after a bit of a while, best take his heart medication with him, if he has any, prices have increased massively over the last 5-7 years !!
