I got some track work done two days as the sun came out, however, since then we have had rain, cold winds and snow! :evil:

Great level of detail Rob.  Is that to fit a RH Bertie?

Also, do you have any more info on your Lady Anne body kit and will it be suitable for coal fired locos?

Cheers chaps, its taken a while! I think the only changes I will make in the future is to replace the points on the loops with the new Peco short radius versions so I can have a gentler curve connected to them (these were not available at the time). Still plenty to do. Scenery, station, buildings, e...

After two weeks of braving the cold (and getting a cold in the process) I have finally completed a circuit of track :twisted: This is my first go at a YouTube video as Photobucket does not allow you to host videos at a decent resolution: Watch the 'First complete run on the RWLR' I did film this in ...

Live Diesel on YouTube

This is the best sounding attempt at building a live diesel I have heard:

Anyone know anything about the builder?

Oh the fun you could have with captions if a loco with a female name was in that pic ;)

Great looking line Zach. I like the changes you are making so keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Tom

Great looking train Chris. The weathering is spot on!

It was nice where I was yesterday as well so I managed to get some more track down. One more loop to go and hopefully I can get some videos of my SL running uploaded :)

Looks very nice Tom, what camera do you use? Its a Nikon s9050.  For under £100 I can't complain, however, I did edit the picture first before posting. Enjoy your new loco Kjell. Look forward to some pics of your one? Thanks to everyone for their kinds words.  I still think my SL is too 'shiny' but...

I did not intend for the line to have a coastal look to it, however, when I found the Dorset shingle it looked the part for me (and I like the coast anyway) :)
