Thanks

Appologies for going of topic. How's the Merseysider loco getting along?

Hello :) I plan on purchasing Andel Moelwyn soon. I asked Andy to send me some pictures of the maroon version (Moelwyn's current colour). To me the colour isn't right so i'm thinking of painting it. I wondered if anyone know's what the colour is for Moelwyn and a where I could purchase the paint. (o...

Saw this at Stoneleigh and had to get it. It's scratch built and very well painted with lots of detail and even came with its own box for £40! :) Did anyone else pic up some great finds at Stoneleigh? ./myff/1032036/IMG_2329.JPG ./myff/1032037/IMG_2324.JPG ./myff/1032038/IMG_2327.JPG ./myff/1032039/...

I was talking with the Jurassic guys at stoneleigh and they said a website was in the works due for release sometime this year The models looked excellent too

Phoenix precision paints use to do it but they discontinued the Ffestiniog colours :/

Hi All, Ive been able to get a bit more modelling done this week as most of the coursework is now done  :D Just a few little bits here and there  :( Anyway, I have started painting the slate wagons in their new liveries, so far I have painted one red oxide and two in a quite dark grey.

That was an idea I had in mind but the speed controller is not as smooth as I hoped but having a lever means I can nudge it slightly to make fine adjustments

...and now it's gone What was it anyway?

A little bit more work done :) Drilled out the front grill. Just need to add some mesh. New speed control lever in the cab as well which makes controlling the loco a lot easier! Bit of copper wire will be added for a handle. Sorry for the bad lighting. ./myff/1025774/IMG_2315.JPG ./myff/1025775/IMG_...

Hi
I could give it a go. Fairly good with photoshop

Great video! The DeWinton's lovely. Scratchbuilt? And a hefty log it's pulling as well! There's something special about a DeWinton eh? :)   It is scratchbuilt.  The logging trucks are fully ballraced and roll very easily. Dave. DeWinton's are fantastic! Such character with the vertical boiler. The ...

I really like this, it's looking great! Do you have a track plan that we would be able to see?

Just an update :) Finished making the control panel which just needs a drop of glue to hold it in place. Thinking about what to use for a handle for the speed controller as the cabs quite tight to get your hand in. Any ideas? ./myff/1018028/IMG_2308.JPG ./myff/1018029/IMG_2310.JPG ./myff/1018030/IMG...
