After the recent small snowfall, CHLR had a few drifts - see the images below https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6p-qniyR4Oc/WH5tkW06nOI/AAAAAAAABa8/XQbDR-XNlCkgo_gjwdeAA5765M4u7EASACLcB/s640/IMG_1212.jpg https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1vSMm5YJIBw/WH5u2U-X6_I/AAAAAAAABbI/khpornHHYO86d7cyeZ8wYwy93sz5ZD14wCLcB/s6...

Can only agree with what is said above - great kits from these guys - I have a great loco (see my avatar) with the same worm and grub - works fine and mine's seen loads of action - eventually I guess i'll replace with all metal but at the mo its great. I also use Deltang in both my petrol outlines -...

Like our house, the white chocolate ones look the most popular!

Fancy a challenge at ID'ing a motor? Bought a job lots of O gauge stuff a while ago at an auction that included a battery loco - being O gauge I was after the chassis - after stripping away the bespoke made body shell I was left with this. ./myff/2033866/IMG_1180a.JPG ./myff/2033867/IMG_1181.JPG ./m...

Deffo agree with the chairman - its got to be a dog (well 2 in my case!) - Before the dogs, I tried all the commercially available anti cat products but nothing worked!

Brilliant - use of the screw eyes - genius!

Good old Poundland - I have various houses lit by their LED set ups

That's my approach too! Better security and less corrosion - double win

Again - quality modeling! Setting the standard as usual Peter

They look good - I like the gradient signs especially One quick query to you and any others, how do you attach your platforms to the ground? I have problems in getting my to stay put - I've tried various bonding/stick products - just wondered what others use? My are wooden and need sticking to woode...

Lovely wagons - very jealous

I love the sun at this time of year when it puts in an appearance - the ones below were taken on Saturday morning with :- a) the PW line checking Wickham Trolley, driven by Philpot meets up with our local postman, Pat for an early morning chat. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ndVuzE8DTOw/WDYJyKOorZI/AAAA...

This weekend, before the big winds, the railway management managed to run some bird for relief trains up the line to the bird feeder - here we see number 3 (now proudly showing its 'Kenny' name plates) easing over the bridge out onto the phase 2 section of track.

Hi Piotr It's Mark - the markoteal bit came about hone email addresses first came out - my full name had already been taken and I was thinking of a different naming approach so joined my first name with the first word in my address - (Teal Court) - the 'o' was just something to join them together! T...

Hi - we avoided the worst of it - just heavy leaf fall in Junction Station area - see the photo below before the PW team got busy on double time! And the roof of Junction Station had worked loose and was 'flapping in the wind' https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RmqkK_Iijs4/WDIcdsO5q9I/AAAAAAAABX4/LaMSIU_ExC...

Here's my latest stirrer items - its the goods yard platform that sits at the end of the line at the CHLR where freight goods are transferred from NG to the main network - through a gap in the fence to Churn Sidings Installed this weekend - its all a...

Nice work - its great that we can convert items like this - just keeping my eye out for suitable donor engines in the local charity/bargain shops - then visit small relatives can have a play without 'dinging' anything valuable! And if they really like it, its a great Christmas pressies with some che...
