Re: TVT - Dylanesque
I find your gallery web page is a great resource, as there are types of models on there that I'll never see locally and you take a good clear photo. I would second that, I've used Tony's pictures more than once for inspiration (thanks Tony) and I particularly liked the work you did on the weathered...

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Thanks Jake, yes much work has had to be done to this shay firstly by Gordon under warranty. Many pipe leaks and fittings to be remade. Then comparing the drive shaft lengths with Graeme's shay I found out mine were much shorter, strange as I had already silver soldered an additional 3mm to mine bec...

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
A photo posted by Jake (Tropic Blunder) has caused me to let the cat out of the bag. The lumberjack driver has been in the boss's ear for some time, that loads and grades are getting too much for the engine. The engine has done many miles and breakdowns happen more often. He's concerned he may end u...

Re: North East Victoria Railway

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
Some body is keen, I like the masking on the wheels. At first I thought it had white rims!

Re: North East Victoria Railway
Extremely jealous of your second last shot,I admire the mechanicals of the Aster shay very much. I do hope the blowthrough is the cylinders and not the valve faces. Integral valve chest and cylinder castings make that a rather larger job to fix.

Re: North East Victoria Railway
Your night shots look good, if La Nina doesn't rear it's head too much this summer hope you are able to do more of it. I'm certainly hoping to be able to put the sawmill out this summer.

Re: No piston action
I notice there is a Phillips head screw in the middle of the flywheel on either side of the engine/cylinder arrangement. I presume this is what locks the flywheel to the crankshaft. Could yours be missing or perhaps what ever method positions it correctly (a square shaft or a flat!) has been sheared...

I've pushed some of the elements of Philip's second shot, for clarity. No offence Philip.

Thanks Andrew, though I think he's ahead of his time fashion wise. With that shine on his pants I assume they're leather

Re: The Bishop's Woodland Light Railway (BWLR)
I am in an area which is sitting on pure sand I too am on pure sand and agree with your comments re drainage and ease of forming. I find the ants love the hole provided in the sleepers and the hollow underneath and although they only remove the sand one grain at a time, I just wish they would put i...
