Heres some pics of a mixed train i ran on boxing day including my new breakvan

Nice

George's railway is G scale so its not far out at all...

Great photos reminds me of the titfield thunderbolt with the bedford OB coach. The brake van looks great.

pOh my god, now you say that, it does! The engine's in the same livery as well (if someone corrects me, I'll set Valhalla on you)

Nice pictures - you going to make the tail lamp on the van a working one??

See http://www.mdlr.co.uk/pluginlamp.html for how I did it!

lovely thanks for posting
now to clean my keyboard

very nice, i like the last two the best. Are you planning any other mods for ragleth. Could I suggest a BR number and shedplate?

I love the shot of the train coming out of the tunnel mouth, it looks like the fence is part of the tunnel!  :lol:

And Hancockshire, I believe the bus is 1:18 (approx. 16mm scale), but as georges railway is G scale, it's larger, plus Accucraft are very big anyway  ;)

It seems a bit smaller than that to me. It looks 1:24 scale. Remember, I own a 1:18 scale car & it's near the same width of an Accucraft (I do my checks). Logically, a bus is wider & by saying that, it should be wider than the loco, which it isn't

What sort of car is it?

It's an ERTL Knight Industries Two Thousand. Knight Rider rocks

Only one way to solve this...

George, what scale is the bus? Does it say underneath?

The Coach is a corgi classics Bedford OB Unfortunately it does not have scale on the box but it is appropriately main line o gauge and so is smaller scale than the train. but viewed from the right perspective (like the 5th photo down) is still very titfield thunderboltesk.

i think the bus is 1:18 and it is made by sunstar.

If it's made by Sunstar, it's 1/24th - still looks very nice though

I was right. NERDYNESS WINS AGAIN!!!!!

no its manual, my line is pritty flat with only two places on the line where they can stall so i dont see any need for radio control in them at the mo

ooo yes of course
