The only picture I can dig up of my old line at my parents.. It was only a loop of mamod track.. I always wanted to extend it with a branch line off down the wall by the side of the house... When I moved out it deteriorated and the track became too fragile.. It was lifted circa '12/'13 The loco stil...

Hello, I've had a quick look around and there are still a familiar few faces! I was a, sort of, regular contributor here a few years ago.. Sadly my involvement with 16mm all but died after my small track at my parents was lifted and my involvement in the 16mm layout at ADMES stopped. My interest dra...

Not from Fareham, and not an amazing photo, but something I hope will show what I am trying to achieve.

Hello All, Today at Fareham model engineers someone had a small battery electric loco running around a flower pot. I wish I had been able to find the chap who owned the "layout" as I am interested to as what track he might of used. The layout was circular and probably only just over a foot...

Is this a permanent line or portable layout?

Permanant.

Tis rather good really! Had a talk at the model club Wednesday about the L&B and thought..

"Hmm those shorts look rather good someone needs to make a kit"

Bish bash bosh, there they are!

any chance you could shed more light on your scratch building techniques?

You will receive a quarterly magazine as well as a bulletin thats full.. you also get an annual DVD and usually they throw in a special gift of some sort. This Feb I believe it is a book on modeling Penryn.

5 of us, I think, attended STIA on Sunday. Doug, James, Myself, Dan and Ian. Just before opening I think we where all together on the beam floor around Ians layout. Here are some pics and a couple of videos. Dans loco "Merlin" http://youtu.be/flFEmmtH4Qc My tram (thanks again Dan!) http://...

Excellent stuff Ian, I need to take up the offer and pop round and run something! Would also like to have a chat about how you laid the track at somepoint.

Rode that line some years ago when we were holidaying in Cornwall. I thought it was a good little ride, but as you say a tad expensive if all you want to do is ride the train!

I seem to remember they have a Lister railtruck there aswell.

Yes its back up and running. It is now built on a low brick wall and I belive it is a smaller layout. We have one at ADMES too now.

" Where do we keep our locos? "

My Jane and Rapier live on the shelfs at the top of my stairs with all the steam toys.

A good mate of mine listed that! Genuine bidder too!

I bought an Ivor kit, I sent a cheque payment with a cheeky request in it.. My wishes where granted by Roy. Hes a top bloke. If you want a particular kit off him. Message him via ebay. The worst he can say is no!

I agree, Tool van and visitors coach look the mutts! Might got as far to say the new rail cars not too shabby either!

I think member " DAVE" made one from scratch... maybey PM him

Gazzumped! Just read the Dante thread dan/mr.bond started and it would appear I should of made this out of 3/16" brass not 1/8"....

Oh well

20 degrees + in the workshop today... one got somewhat hot!!

However managed to make one portface made and another cut ready to be marked and drilled... Hopefully it will be OK. Also had to file away some of the cylinder flat on the front as it fouled the wheel.
