Re: Llewellyn Loco Works #1

Brilliant craftsmanship Dazza has usual from you. :salute:
Love the light by the way.. :thumbright: Those videos on Flicker are a wee bit small, but I loved the smoke coming from that superb loco.

Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd

Happy New Year Phil, Great to see your line with some great friends. :thumbright: very nice smooth slow running of your rake of coaches and that little milk van looks perfect with them also. Hopefully we can get out and do some more on our line soon, really far to wet and the grass is a bit long als...

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?

Yes it is Peter, I usually ask our little local heritage railway who are brilliant by the way, if I can have lump sometimes. Last time I did a got 3 biggish lumps and I still have loads of it left. Best bit for me though was smashing it down to bits,
Great fun 🤩

Re: Garden Railway Gallery, Winners Thread

I agree with all comments. A well deserved winner, that's a photo that could go on a calendar and be proud of it to be seen by hundreds of people.

I would buy the calendar if it was on it. :thumbright:

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway

Thats a really nice attempt Drew. Well done, although I have used modelling knives for mine in the past, they usually end up not that straight and not square, even if I use a steel ruler. Thats why I use my little saw now, though the stock on the saw can get off square a little bit if I'am not that ...

Re: FINAL NEW FWLR LINE

a train for the 3 year old, brilliant way of getting them into it. I wish I had started a lot earlier than I did, early sixties for me, what time I wasted pursuing other so called hobbies, although I did enjoy some of them, beer and wine making ect ect.... :lol: :lol:

Re: FINAL NEW FWLR LINE

I will be building some more of those Little Vans Drew, but will mix them up a little I think, some with sliding doors and some without, but it will look like they can be opened. Also some more 2, 3 and 4 plank wagons. I really enjoy scratch building in wood and in my eyes they do look more realisti...

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?

Greg and the rest of the guys are so correct. The 'Master' has done it again and turned out a superb model of a Garret. The weathering is perfect and shows what can be achieved with what is some excellent scratch building. One question :?: Peter. Did you take a photo of how you did the wiring, it wo...

Re: Biting the bullet - wholesale conversion from 45mm to SM32

Sell your 45mm gauge stuff to finance getting more 32mm from the UK, especially the track. You could get some Cliff Barker track. It's all made to order and fairly cheap and it looks brilliant. https://www.cliffbarker.me.uk You would then have what you like more and enjoy it more Keith. Keep on enjo...

Re: FINAL NEW FWLR LINE

Hi all, Back to building again, although not too full strength yet, but I am getting there. This is a little kit that Peter Butler sent me to help me to start building again. It's a small van, no idea where it came from, but it's taken me some time to build mainly because it comes with plastic wheel...

Re: Video editing tutorial

I'am afraid that's what all the mobile phones companies do, it's par for the course unfortunately. It's mainly because the tech gets better and better and the updates can't keep up with them, that's why they have updates I think for that reason and so they then decide that they won't give out update...

Thanks Rik. I will have a look at it, maybe I could utilise a different motor. No harm in printing it off with 32mm in mind. I just need to reduce the end buffers don't I.. :thumbright:
