jono Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I hung my anorak up long ago when my Dad, unknown to me flogged, the train set to his mate without even asking ! Not that I'd played with it for 20 years. Jono age 10-3/4 ... Freezing to death in the garage while Airfix Africa Corps tried to storm Grantham signal box before reinforcements on the 13.56 from Derby arrived. That is an embarrassing admission.

Boycie Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I think toy soldiers needs its own thread. The kids now days ain't gotta clue, they've never known the pain of stepping on a sniper by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The machine gun / crew was pretty good though. Just remembering all the little nicks you got on your fingers from trimming the spru with a "hobby" knife and the smell of the glue.

I fought similar battles many times. Airfix soldiers everywhere - usually the battle ended when the family cocker spaniel waded through. Can still remember trying to get a British commando rubber dingy out of her mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsdubs Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 On topic: Yeah, I have loads of 00 stock in storage. All BR blue to sectorised 90s stuff stored away, lots of Bachmann, Heljan & modern Hornby. Also have a Lenz Set 100 DCC controller. All went on the back burner though and now I just stick to record collecting and old video games. Went and had 2 kids so maybe one day when I have the space and the cash I'll get around to building a layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the steam ones, *spit, and the noise you refer to is mainly the American Steam locomotives, which nobody ain't got no time for. the BR two tone horn is an accurate description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
