Hey Folks,
Are there any railways, friendly enthusiasts or a 16mm Association area group in South Wales, specifically around Bridgend? Moving there in a few weeks and looking to build a railway in our garden but don't know where to begin!

Re: A stream for the Elderbury & District Light Railway
Egypt had a rich history of 2' 6" lines (although none survive now), always tempted to do an Egypt based 009 layout set in the 1920s based on a fictional narrow gauge line from Port Said or Alexandria to Faiyum via Giza

Re: Newqidas on the Block
Love the black and orange, doesn't sound like it should work but absolutely does! Similar to the WHR/FRs odd yellow and grey livery for PW items

Re: New beginnings of a small railway
Is that AnyRail? How are you getting on with it as a piece of software?

Re: Newqidas on the Block
Slightly highjacking - is it possible to fit chopper couplings to the Newqida coaches?

Figures
My brother-in-law commented the other day "it's interesting that the detail of model railway figures gets better and better the larger the scale, until you get to 16mm when they become almost caricature-ish" which got me thinking - where are the high detail model figures out there for 16mm?

Re: Trams
I've seen these Occre trams before, apparently they're an absolute pig to build! Not sure how to get overhead power in but might be a good place to start

Trams
I've been considering dabbling in trams, powered by overhead electrics. Anyone else done this and suggest a good way in?
Thanks

Re: A Way In
My inkling is that newbies would be looking at getting something running as quickly as possible

A Way In
Hi Folks, There is a strong chance I may be abandoning the hobby for a while as I'm drifting towards bigger trains (I've been offered a 7 1/4" deal that I don't think I can refuse). Exploring ways of keeping my fingers firmly in the pie as it were, I started to think and reflect on the best way...

Re: Boaz - Simplex
Jim, terrific as ever. Have been after an IP Simplex for a while but my complete inability to do battery and r/c fitting renders that a long way off

Re: HGLW Empire Coach
That's perfect thanks!
Does the profile of the coach look "right" behind a Ragleth - looked pretty good to be from that photo
Thanks

Accucraft Baguley Sound
Hello Folks,
Are there any companies our there that do sound fitting for Accucraft Baguleys? My current one has a very very basic sound card in and I'd like to make it a bit more exciting.
Thanks

Criccieth Castle vs Accucraft Baugley
Hello Folks,
I'm looking at a good quality, viable diesel locomotive for my future railway. I currently have an Accucraft Baugley but I must admit I'm not completely happy with it. I'm looking at Roundhouse's Criccieth Castle instead - what are these like? Any available out there?
Thanks
Chris

Re: Moving again
Oh no Jim, we were just moving to the area and I was hoping to book in a visit!
On a side note - are you ordained in the CiW? Might have to pick your brains if so...
