Hi, Some of I hope only the older Mamod parts aren't very accurately made.

Hi, Today I go to play trains in the Bristol area, given the weather thankfully it is indoors. I intend to take a steam tram that I made from a Mamod carriage. But other than a flat bed wagon which is designed to if necessary carry a camera it normally has a motor car as a load, I don't have any Mam...

Hi Bruno,

I do like your model locomotive, it certainly captures the essence of the original locomotive. If this is your first attempt at a small gauge steam model you must be very pleased.

Hi, The weather yesterday in Old South Wales was a little damp much like the rest of the country. A typical Bank Holiday! We had only a couple of very brave souls visit us. The garden railway wasn't run at all. A couple of photographs taken mid afternoon. ./myff/1792883/IMG_0109+LR.JPG ./myff/179288...

Hi, Yesterday we returned from a long weekend in Tywyn. We had been visiting the Talyllyn Railway on their Beer Festival weekend and their garden railway was open as well! So it was Real Ale, narrow gauge steam engines and model locomotives. We left Cardiff last Thursday going North on Wales's equiv...

Hi Andrew & Peter,

Looking forward to seeing it at Llanfair.

It would be good to meet both of you and any other members of the forum at Llanfair or anywhere else come to that.

We are off to drink beer and play trains at the Talylyn until Monday.

Regards Tony.

Hi,

I had meant to include another boiler that used a 35 mm 'T' connector as its boiler it was made at the same time as the other one, as yet it is just a wagon load but it might get put on a Cracker type chassis.
