Very nice! All the track is hand-built, amazing!

Re: A brewery for Beeston Castle
Hi Greg
At the moment there is no back. I might remedy that once I site it properly, I'll see how much tweaking I need to do to the hedge, first.

Re: A brewery for Beeston Castle
I've found a guy on eBay who sells 3D printed windows. Although these are intended for 00 scale, mine are not too much larger. He indicates he will supply other sizes on request. I've sent him an email with the dimensions for my windows (30mm x 50mm) and am awaiting a response. https://www.ebay.co....

I used their windows on my engine shed, but I've made the windows on the brewery smaller, so need some bespoke ones, unfortunately.

With Peter's approval, I will definitely shoot and post some footage.

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
It would be wonderful to meet up again Rik, you would be most welcome. I have a special reason to get the railway looking at its best as soon as the weather improves and a perfect opportunity to record the line in action with all of the recent stock builds. The 3D figures are the best available IMH...

Re: A brewery for Beeston Castle
Thanks Peter. I was wondering about 3D printed window frames. Did you get a mate to do them, or have you found an online source?

Re: A brewery for Beeston Castle
Well, it's been a few weeks since my last update and progress has been slow (but steady) for various reasons. Still a fair bit to do (ridge tiles, barge boards, guttering, painting the canopy, and making doors and bespoke windows), but I think I'm at last on the home-straight. IMG_9080.JPG . IMG_907...

Re: Acme sound card installed in my HGLW diesel loco
I thought the latest MLS digitised light diesel card sounds seemed pretty good to me. This would be the one I'd be most likely to use. I think the horn sounds are not wonderful, but the start-up, tickover, run and wind-down sounds seem to me to be at least as good as MTroniks plus you can choose bet...

Re: Peckett Body Build - First Attempt
Thanks for the credit on the rivets, Steve. As an avowed non rivet-counter, I never thought I'd be responsible for guiding someone else's rivet positioning. It's an honour ( I think). To be honest, I just figured that the rivets would coincide with brackets attached to the main frames. I like to kee...
