Neighbours

Just watched it, not too badly handled. Nice bit of Hornby Dublo stuff there. Nice to get some good press without us being portrayed as anoraks.

You know they film a lot of Neighbours scenes in my street. I had a notice this week that they were filming a few doors down from me. If only they had known, they could have had my layout to include in their show.

The street shown at the begining of the show is about a mile from where I live, and another bit of trivia, probably the best television ever produced in Australia, Prisoner Cell Block H was filmed about half a mile away from where I live.

And the closest I can get is that they showed my house in the day trip to Margate Only Fools and Horses special - I've still got a picture of Del and Rodney leaning on my gatepost.

Is that the one you visit on "The Neighbours bus tour"? If so, then my younger son was down your way about this time last year when he was "doing" NZ, Fiji and Australia during his self financed gap year.

Thats the one although I haven't actually been on the bus tour. I tend to take visitors round there in my car. It's called Pin Oak Court I beleive.

Hello 80 Class!

If it's the same layout as I saw a couple of days ago - it's a small, 3 rail Dublo layout with a Stanier 8f - repainted/lettered into LMS livery.

It's pretty comprehensive and contains a 2 rail Goods Yard as well as many standard 3 rail Accessories.

I wish I could run my Dublo outside - Scottish weather does not permit such indulgences!

Best Wishes,

Well we don't get Neighbours in Thailand... happy to say, but having said that I did see a layout last night on 'Monarch of the Glen' which is being shown on BBC Entertainment channel. Richard Briers was 'playing with it' and it was an 'O' gauge, looked like an old Hornby or Triang set... reminding me of my childhood as I had a clockwork Hornby goods set as a small boy (or it my dad get it for himself???). However, what struck me was the great array of accessories, railway buildings, houses, signals, bridges etc... looked really good, but it was only on for a matter of seconds.

However, the story line went that the old 'getting senile' man would have his 'toys' confiscated. Can't say I enjoyed that bit!
