I am glad you like it Danny and I hope it shows that not all raised lines have to be just planks of wood

Please do a metal version!

Cor, I could lock myself away for weeks in that workshop!

Did you just buy this as it has been very well cared for by the looks of it?

WD40 is alright for cleaning although I find it just attracts dirt afterwards so white spirit is better.

For lubricating your locos motion use 20w-50 motor oil. I use motorbike oil and it works fine.

The beginnings of it anyway

Thanks to everyone else for their replies. I would be interested in seeing a picture of that coach you mentioned Peter?

Here I plan to document my build of a Lady Anne with a Riverdale coal fired 'Amy' boiler. The chassis kit is a birthday present, however, I was allowed to open it yesterday (because I am a child really) so I got started straight away! http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e339/pochicken/DSCN0292_zpscc0c...

This project has been shelved for a while, however, I want to get it done and out into the garden as I had an important package arrive today (new project thread to start soon, you lucky people) ;) Roof is done and is removable so I can put a tea light in it at night (looks great). The nails and chim...

Sorry this does not help in your quest for a driver, however, that's a nice tractor you got there:)

Your 7/8th videos always make me want to change scale Chris!

Roy is doing a great job with these locos. I am looking forward to seeing the reintroduction of 'Stalwart' as a possible purchase for diesel power on my line.

Ordered the kit today so will start a new post when construction begins

Thanks.

I called them today to order and asked for the combination lever and union link as this does not come in the kit. I went for the single slide bar as its cheaper and still looks good.

Good looking beast so far, keep us posted please on progress

I am about to order a Lady Anne chassis kit for my coal fired boiler project, however, I want to upgrade cosmetically this part of the loco so it matches my SL: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e339/pochicken/lady_zps3de9f26d.jpg Could someone tell me please do I need the crosshead, comb lever unio...

Fantastic job!

More details please?

Ba$!@#ds! I am very sorry for your loss and will keep an eye out but they will probably scrap the lot unfortunately.

I have seen successful implementations of the Graupner Soud switch module which is normally used in model boats in a RH Criccieth Castle although you would need to get samples of authentic sound for the ultimate experience. Here is a youtube video of an unit on test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X...

I had a look at my local model shops website and the closest they do is 16 SWG PIANO WIRE which is 1.6256mm. Do I need 17 SWG which is 1.42mm as I can't find 1.5mm on the net?

Cheers Tag.

My SL (like my railway) is still very much in progress, however, the cut down buffer beam does make a big difference in my humble opinion so thanks for the compliment.
