Re: North East Victoria Railway
Lots of interesting rolling stock there. Particularly impressed with X class diesel.
I like the idea of the aluminium container flats too.

Re: The Potters Orchid Railway
Just watched the video right through. It gives an idea of how just how much work has gone into this quite complex system. Faultless performance. Not surprising as obviously no corners have been cut with the trackbed which is top notch. A great run through a superb rocky terrain which will be even mo...

Re: Ideas for a bridge replacemnt?
You're up a gum tree here.... sorry. That tree is at a heck of an angle by the look of it. Does it sway much in the wind ? That could affect the alignment. Is there no way you could keep the existing bridge? It is clearly a goodun and one that you are fond of. Can the approach to the bridge be reali...

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
Its a charming item of rolling stock. Impressed by the elaborate curved sides.

Re: NZR Df (1954) locomotive
I never saw one of these during my younger years in NZ. How long did they last? On my local line it was class Da and and few De locos. The latter were an EE design too I believe and bore a family resemblence to the UK class 20's. Shunting and trip working at our local yard was mostly done by De or t...

Re: Early garden railways
Not as old as some of the above but I've always been fascinated by the modelling of Mr G Llyffe Stokes. This gent was clearly no spring chicken when I saw a piece he penned about his garden line in a copy of Model Railway Constructor in about 1967/68. I still have the copy in my store of old magazin...

Re: Semi-scale BR: an ‘air-smoothed’ Bulleid
You always know that anything posted under the Semi-scale BR heading is going to be interesting, and refreshingly different. The latest offering doesn't disappoint ! You got the air smoothed Bulleid look to a tee. Well done. As to livery I'd suggest one or the other. Green or Black. Malachite? BR gr...

You have really done the railcar justice. Lots of us have a soft spot for the CDR railcars. It fits in perfectly on your line.

A grand build of an interesting and iconic prototype. If that is your first go at building in brass then hats off I say to a fine job!

Re: Neighbours of garden railways
I'm fairly lucky I guess. My line isn't complete yet so not a lot of 'traffic' to draw attention. Fortunately we have so far been very lucky with our neighbours. All nice people. Our garden is L shaped and extends behind next door's garden so technically we have 3 adjoining neighbours. Behind our ga...
