Depends really how much time I have spare. Designing takes a couple of weeks ( I like to do drawings to work from), then making is usually some months. In the case of the obs, i obtained a drawing from adrian gray and modified it. Its been under construction since about early november, but i'm not a...

Ok just reread comment I know you said some not one[/u]

LOL very good, thing is are you sure that it was just one, I mean those baguleys looked familiar

Thats a pitty :-(
I found that very careful saving = live steam loco (eventually)

I got one of the opens for christmas, they are deceptively big! It is wider than my scrathbuilt stock. Still awaiting final painting

It was running in the train today and it has a near twin in number 6, which has 2 first class compartments insted of one (just had to make them slightly different didn't I!)

yep the wooden building is a model of the original building at eskdale green. Its the only model on my line to go anywhere near an exibition, dad used it on the ratty society stand at kendal model railway exibition a couple of years ago

Roundhouse have the best customer care of any company I k...

Right there he's definatly changed. All you have to do is watch the old repeats on Dave and see the differences. Top Gear is by far the most entertianing show on earth, and the alabama incident and the 31 into the car are both on my favorites on youtube

I always wanted a garden railway, but the spark was ignited when I saw an advert for a DVD called The Garden Railway. I purchased the DVD and as soon as I watched it, I started making plans...... When I got some money for my birthday, I brought 12 yards of track and an accucraft Lynton and Barstaple...

i have to make do with the lounge table (when mums not looking!)
