Dwayne, you're sure getting stuck into it.
Does the lack of a hinge in the point blades require much extra pressure on the change lever, which would be manual I presume?

Hah! Peter, your pic. is the reason I chose mine. I wanted to get into an in depth discussion on the colour of cow pats. Please, I'm not criticising, but noticed the colour of yours and wondered are cattle brought into barns during winter in England, and fed on hay. Jim, the tractor a Fordson F, is ...

Thanks for your comments, and if it's inspiring that's great, but Graeme (GTB of this forum) is the one for museum quality detail in my book. Mind you Peter, those log bogies you did back on page 40 of your railway were a superb weathering effort. Weathered timber is made up of many colours, and you...

The goods stock and guards van are all scratch built, mostly on fox truck type bogies, with chopper couplings. The bogie log trucks have silver soldered steel archbars, and timber frames. My early builds in this scale tended to be belts and braces style. I had doubts (soon dispelled) about whitemet...

Friday Morning Goods
Well it rained here all yesterday, but today before the humidity got up too much, I steamed the Lumberjack on a goods train. ./myff/1964576/P3110006.JPG And because it was cooler I had visible steam, (not by British standards I know!) if you look very closely. ./myff/1964577/P3110011.JPG Two log emp...

High praise coming from you Peter, having read of your Railway (you have something I crave, no fences in the background) I've wondered how you guys put up with a railway that goes under snow each year. But then we have that equally destructive and invisible killer of all things of lesser materials a...

I hope Philip doesn't mind Steven, but I think what he is getting at, might be more like the pic. on the right in cross section. As opposed to that on the left, which if I'm reading things correctly is what you are intending. Something of a base extending either side of the track. ./myff/1963432/For...

Interesting point, mate. I think you're right. One of the beauties of the digital camera, you don't have to have your head stuck behind it to look through the viewfinder. I take many shots with the camera on a block of wood (as much to stop it shaking around ha! ha!) and of course you can poke it an...

I think the fact that the line has been down for some 12 years probably helps Andrew. I look at old pics. and see how sparse it all was back then. The 2nd. pic. above was obviously taken in Spring with that much green around. We're under drought conditions here now, and we've lost several plants on ...
