Loving reading this build Tony. Cant wait to see it done!

Yeh, I have one and it might make quite a good job as it is quite light! How does he fix the large pieces of metal under the chassis?

112 hairs, 113 hairs, damn it! Lost count. 1 hair, 2 hairs........

Do you reckon he can ever do a Super Fowler?

The loco in the first pic by Andy is (I cant quite remember his name but I think its richard?) a large model of the C&M Chevalier on a ragleth chassis.

We have considered that and still are! We just have a visualization of someone coming and throwing it right down to the point where it just breaks

I get your point but realistic figures dont do it justice. Plus, I think this is in the wrong section

That ballast is only being used for Thorpe anyway, I will be shifting to Limestone further round!

Thats about how high they will be Bryan but I still want to work out where the locos overhang on the curves.
Thanks Andrew, we did take a lot of time over it! No I dont know the stone grade but it looks about right for the scale. Its actually a Lawley but we do have a Ragleth as well!

I know doesn't it. Makes it even more so since it was FRRRREEEEE :p

Now, lets get up to date shall we? Sunday seemed a good enough day to finish off Thorpe running wise and do the little fixes we had been meaning to! First, the No 2 road loop was connected up to the rest of the track. http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u636/PerrowMatt/IMG_4536_zpsc576908f.jpg My li...

Thanks, it certainly adds interest.

Right, in March I said I would update on the progress then..... its now May and during my exams so as a destresser, I thought I would get this up to date and keep on top of many activities starting with what happened in March! Well the track was laid out in a rough way to see what we wanted. Note th...

Thanks Chris. The whole knob came off a number of times even after loctiting. Then when we tried to braze a new one, the thread on the spindle ect is buggered! I got rubbish service from dream steam when I got it a year back. They said they would set up a contact thing between me and them and even a...

The only thing stopping mine from running is its regulator being fixed. A new handle needs making but the threads knackered and cant get a spare from mamod as far as I know!
Mine has been nameless mostly but has been called many names, mostly in french or german

I need to get around to posting pics of my brunel at some point. I think its the second version but not totally sure!

Now where does this go? Probably not important

I have just dug up some jubilee sleepers!

Good to see it through Andy! I remember it from the first post!

Haha I like that one Doug! You can see the official one here! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lakeshor ... ts&fref=ts
