Re: Camping gas…
Hi, Sorry you've had to wait so long for a reply. There certainly used to be an adapter to fit the threadless 'camping gaz' type canisters (A4, I think, is the classification), because I have one - it just slips over the nozzle on the canister and activates the release mechanism as you press down. U...

Re: LGB point frogs
Difficult to see the change you've made to the frogs on the video, but it's obviously helped. Well done.

The notes in the accompanying text are 'interesting' to say the least! Chinglish at its finest🤦♂️ Note: – When you use a motor, can not have bound items, such as adhesives do not flow into the rotary shaft through bearings, and obstruction of the operation of the motor. – The rod of rotation of the...

Re: North East Victoria Railway
I did look (and listen!) out for you Jake with the intention of saying Hello, but I clearly missed you. As you say it was a hive of activity. You have managed to capture a photo of one of the guys I was there with though!

Re: LGB point frogs
Rik's solution is ingenious, but I wonder if the same result could be achieved now via 3D printing? It would save a lot of fiddly labour. Various outlets will 3D print, and I'm sure one of the talented 3Ders in this forum could knock up the required .stl file for you? Just a thought.

All looking good Aaron. That's quite an array of storage boxes you have there.

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock
That looks used and careworn - brilliant modelling. (I'm assuming that's the look you were going for ). You, and I think everyone on this forum, are far more prolific than me!

Re: Questions: Inside Frame Skip Wagon - Operation and any drawings
I think the reinforcing bars on the skip body are there to act as the contact point on frame/wheels on the wagons in the top pictures.

Your enthusiasm and work rate are awesome Trevor. You could always dig out a pit at thend to make the operating height more comfortable!

Re: Planning a new line
Sorry to hear of your issues Don, and especially the loss of that palatial shed. But - a move to known territory and access to like minded souls can only be a good thing. I'm sure you'll be whetting our appetite with ideas for your new line soon.

Re: The Great Garden Railway Inspection Reports
A lovely report of a great little railway. I was slightly disappointed that M. DePuty didn't feature in any of the pictures. He needs to make himself known so we can be prepared should we meet him unexpectedly!

Re: A new supplier - Invicta Model Works
My 'Dandy Wagon' is from their range and makes into a very nice model. Horse not supplied but suitable one by Schleich helpfully suggested by supplier. IMG_9111.JPG I thought it looked familiar! I've just ordered one as well as some detail items. I already have a few horses, hopefully one will fit....

A new supplier - Invicta Model Works
I've come across a relatively new supplier for both 16mm and 7/8th scale garden railways. Particularly useful if you haven't gone down the route of buying your own 3D printer. You can find them on ebay at https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/invictamodelworks or by email at invictamodelworks[at]outlook.com . ...

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
Thank you. It was all OK. I grabbed both, as the loco collided with the phone, fearful something was going in the pond. I may have had Lonsdaler’s gravity train, pond story at the back of my mind. All's well on that front - still works over 12 months on! I must let Chris Rennie know that his gravit...

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Delightful again Rik. Shouldn't Tatty Viaduct be in the Tatti valley in mid Wales?🤔😅 Just a question about the marvellous replacement viaduct - does it live outside all year, or does it get brought out for operating sessions? I tried the Compton stone on a model building (textured balsa slips on a f...
