This evening I tried something different for a change - I had an hour spare just before dusk, Bertie was already half filled from a short customer demo steaming so I decided to do some evening running, which I thoroughly enjoyed - watching the loco run light engine up through the undergrowth looked ...

Nice

Same here...

Unfortunately the Jack is not going to be brought back, I spoke to them a year or so ago about this but after the limited edition model they don't have any plans for a return...

Got it in one... ;-)

Mountaineer, it will be orderable until 31st December 2016. I did like Mountaineer, shame it is too big for my Railway!

Can't help there I'm afraid...I'm guessing it will be the same hardware as the Harlech with bespoke sounds for the NDM-6, but obviously I can't be sure of that

Its 10am on the morning of Peterborough, so what else would I be posting? As a Roundhouse dealer, please allow me to introduce...

Looking good!

Oh no! You've guessed it in one - but you forgot about the directional lights! Oh wait I think I have read the email wrong...

We've just received the dealers press release and no-one is terribly close I'm afraid, but for those of you not at Peterborough I'll be posting pictures at 10am tomorrow morning, as I'm not there either!

I'm afraid we're under strict instructions not to release anything else until then, sorry!

Wow this is all looking really good, I'm following this with great interest

Nice idea

I'm liking the fact you're building the points yourself, they look nice and well built

Pictures of the first model to actually make it to us, I would have had some sooner however the first two we had vanished when the couriers van was stolen whilst they were in shipment from the factory to us! So a special batch was run just for our replacements... ./myff/1968377/Bulldog1.jpg ./myff/1...

Very nice looking engine and thoroughly explained I do agree that 'westernising' anything makes it nicer... (tin hat on, prepare for flak... )

Like that, very interesting!

You seem to have a tram bias Ace? Not that thats a problem, I'm looking forward to seeing this

Hi all, Some more updates from the PFLR! So the Newqidas coach arrived today, and I must say I am rather impressed. I thought the livery finish was going to be typical moulded plastic but it isn't actually that bad, and as a result I don't think it is going to be resprayed. It also has some nice wei...

Regarding the couplings - the version I have has a buffer on, which with some wire to form a hook, can be converted into the centre type Roundhouse buffer very easily :-) Hope that helps
