WinchesterDave Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I used to have a small Set up with my grandad when I was younger, it's still all in his loft, I loved it! Why do you ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddJob Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I only wish I had the space. My dad has all the kit and locos stored in his loft from when we were kids. I'd need an entire spare room to set it up. One day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossy835 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 years ago i had a realey big lay out, in the loft had lots of fun got hot up there in the summer, so it was a winter play with it.4 main lines on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fern01 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I have a circle of track with a couple of sidings on my workbench in the garage for me and the grandson who we look after a couple of times a week. He loves it and it is the highlight of his day. He is not quite 3 and uses the controller and changes the points and so on. If anybody has any N gauge stuff they want to move on please PM me.

bakerboy Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 There was a thread on N gauge a short while ago. I found it very interesting having never heard of N gauge before, some of the layouts the PW family have was really something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 There was a thread on N gauge a short while ago. I found it very interesting having never heard of N gauge before, some of the layouts the PW family have was really something else I think that was mine, as I found some old model railway stuff and was thinking about making a layout for my son. I think he's still a bit young though. I have to admit I would quite like to build one though...for him obviously...um... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
