@Richard, thanks for that; maybe I'll get to point my video camera at you one day! You N gaugers have got some lovely stuff coming later this year - I'm thinking of the new Farish 8F in particular. Anyway, the manufacturers need rich N gaugers, not poor ones. ;)

Just seen Andy's excellent interview with Richard from Footplate; nice one. However, what about us poor N Gaugers?
