What an incredible collection of things which many people would otherwise think of as scrap.... I love 'em!
Plenty of inspiration there.

Re: Early editions of 16mm Today magazines
C'mon guys, your Forum needs you! These magazines are nearly thirty years old and still in good condition. Certainly too good to throw away. They are interesting historical documents of early days of 16mm modelling and well worth reading. Will someone please offer £10.00 and I will pay the postage. ...

Re: That Car I Keep Alluding To
A truly incredible story of ambition and dedication. You can't begin to imagine how impressed I am with what you have achieved. I have read every word of your journey and, despite not understanding car mechanics, have thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I'm envious of the F-100 Pick-up model truck too.

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
Model T's make into great rail conversions. If I had one it wouldn't last long!

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
Continuing with the build, I found a motor with attached gearbox in my 'useful' collection and, to my delight, the axle fitted the second set of wheels.... 100_0765.JPG More modification (AKA destruction) of the underside soon followed in order to sink the motor inside the body shell. Fortunately, t...

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
Thanks for the link Graeme, I thought I had recollection of something similar but expected it to have been in model form. Perhaps it has been done somewhere?

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
Constantly thinking about what to do next my eyes gazed upon an item which I have shown in the past. This is something I decided not to modify, but time has a habit of changing things and so I set about it as my latest project....

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
For various reasons (excuses) I have been unable to give you the final images of the Kerr Stuart built, Hunslet overhauled loco, which now runs as Edward Thomas on the Talyllyn Railway. The Boot Lane Works kit enables the builder to choose which version to make as parts are included for both. As pre...

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
Phew!!! camera returned and tested, everything seems to be back in order. So, now for something different: A friend mentioned a new(ish) model railway magazine he had recently purchased and that I was included in it. The title is, 'Let's Go Railway Modelling' and is a Peco publication dated 2023. No...

Early editions of 16mm Today magazines
For sale.... a small collection of eight, early editions, 16mm Today magazines from February 1995 to February 1997. Numbers 71 to 79 (minus No. 76 unfortunately). These are in used condition but clean and intact. An interesting insight into garden railway modelling of that period. They contain lots ...
