If it was a group of adults doing the deed, it would be worrying. I guess the kids in this instance were just doing what some kids do - think that stuff like this is funny... until it proves that it really is not. If my son did such a deed, I would be thoroughly ashamed of him. Hopefully he...

Good man. That'll more than make up for his recent efforts in the music department. :P Withholding the model railway aspect for a second, stuff like this pees me off no end. It's just pointless and does nothing for the people [/kids] who do it, apart from turn them into pariahs. Reminds me of...

It's set somewhere between 1975 and 1990 (ish), so they're not too bothered about that yet. They're still sinking 5 pints in the messroom before going on shift

So The Greasy Donkey Jacket Army In 00 Scale is out again. They earned their portaloos, so are going to crack on with this corner this weekend, safe in the knowledge they have somewhere to go to read The Sun and avoid work... If they can be bothered, they'll get on with this too @Joise -...

a highly sensitive microphone would hear them muttering things like 'shambles' and 'ridiculous'

good lad. It'll be done in no time :)

That's impressive! If you ever fancied doing short runs of these, I bet you'd be able to sell them. I bet there's a market there

The 00 gauge staff have baulked at that, saying that they'll have to consult with their union first. However, they did get their task finished so have earned the portaloo for the next job (as t'were)

To follow @Cowley there, it's a solid little thing... but the doors are very easy to break off. Not sure it was worth the £50 (!) I paid for it but there we go. It serves a single purpose (unlike model houses which can serve many - run-down house, renovated house, burnt out house, bawdy house...

I'll see how they behave first. If they get the rest of the fence up before Monday we can think about it..

Also, if you hang about long enough building the thing - the denizens of the layout start building it themselves... (they get bored of waiting)

Yeah, having the same conundrum myself - ended up buying the way overpriced Bachmann thing...still, serves purpose (and not like I'll be buying loads of them!)

Maybe. Possibly. Might be. As to the rest - forgive me, it was what I was told by one of the volunteers (who obviously wasn't in full possession of the facts, which are alot more complex than they made out!). However, projects left on half for years on end do end up just looking terrible and...

Soooo... went to (one of) my local heritage lines this weekend and got chatting to one of their volunteers. Unfortunately, this line is blighted by two rather long Linear Scrapyards (tm), one a damn sight worse than the other, plus some half built infrastructure.. and when asked about these...

I've always thought them a good idea for long distance trains... but the cost of making specific stock for distance only (withholding sleeper stock) would make them untenable, I'd assume. Also, to reintroduce them now would probably bring its own set of problems as the travelling public just...

Oh I think, without the Nazi stuff, it would have been severely impressive!

then again... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitspurbahn

hmm, yes... The Situation What We Have Got Now... or the rail equivalent of the Blackshirts. They might have enforced the buying of British Rail food of that era too...

Mothballed would probably be the correct term, I think. Very interesting reading, this thread. As a recently arrived citizen of the 'Lynn a rail network similar to what was would do the area no end of favours. Everyone relies on their car to go... anywhere... very few busses... very few dual...

HA!!!!
