Re: Vale of Fairway
Thank you, that's a very kind offer. I had a look at the Melody Jane website though, and the image shows it with a 10 pence piece, and i think it will be a little too large. I think I'll probably go with Tenmille asbestos sheet - that's intended for Gauge One and I think scales about right for 16mm ...

Re: Vale of Fairway
I like the old Nantmor station. I had a similar one by Wills on a OO gauge layout. A similar one may appear on my railway when it gets built. Are there any drawings for it or plans? Ian Well, there's this one, which I drew at lunchtime yesterday! Plan.jpg Just a doodle really, to see whether it wou...

Re: Vale of Fairway
Gut feeling tells me some nail art rivets along the roof would add some interest. Always! Probably more to scale for 7/8ths too... Despite not having done a huge amount of modelling of late I'm about to start my second box of nail art gems - I can't have used over 1,000 already, can I?! The buildin...

Re: The B.E.R - Construction begins
I would be interested to see how you run a session using this setup, video available? It might also be interesting to see a juggling performance involving two loco transmitters and a video camera! My end-to-end line used shunt release at the lower terminus for a while, although I decided to add a f...

Re: Vale of Fairway
show’s that you don’t need to make a model in 4 days. Absolutely! I'm full of admiration for those that do, but equally inspired by those who manage to maintain momentum for a project over a long period - I tend to snatch my modelling time from the rest of the day in hour long chunks and often only...

Re: Clatterbach Valley Light Railway
Great little railway! I'm really taken with the way the station sits on the edge of the patio too, just right... Re ballasting, you could consider a "Rowlands Mix" of some sort - that's kind of semi permanent, but looks pretty good, aids smooth running, is easy to do, and it's not difficul...

Re: Progress on my small railway today
That's looking really good - only a small space, but you've managed to get in a lot of interest without it looking cramped. Like the extension plans too...

Thanks or the advice! I'll contact RH and see what they say. And i'll definitely have to rtry to get down to Kent Tom, thank you. Tony, if it all goes pear-shaped (as it did with my attempts to fettle my Bertie) then you'll get the chance to try my RC in North Wales for yourself, because i dare say ...

Getting Russell Right
Hello all, As you may have seen on my railway thread, last night I steamed my RH Russell, which confirmed some issues I've known about for a while. I had thought I might send it away to one of the professional engine-fixers for attention, but I'm a little short of hobby cash at the moment so would l...

Re: The (Windmill Hill) Welsh Highland Railway
Afternoon all, Like Tom, I was tempted out into the garden with some trains on the longest day. The sun's disappeared over the house by the afternoon, but other than that everything was just right for a steam up. The wagons that didn't get to go anywhere at the weekend were retrieved from the shelf ...

Re: Cats and Dogs Railway (austrian narrow gauge)
I really like your little railway Daan, you've achieved so much in a small space. Nicely filmed too - but the shots of the trains going over the bridges terrify me! Has anything ever fallen in?!

Re: The (Windmill Hill) Welsh Highland Railway
Sorry, Andrew et al, a bit of thread drift here........ That's not thread-drift Rik - for large parts of the time the (WH)WHR exists as a kind of thought experiment anyway, either because I'm not at home, or because i'm doing other things. 99% of the services that operate over the line do so only i...

Agree with Dwayne, you have a certain atmosphere that is wonderful to see. Yep, I agree too. Just like the real NG lines, you can look at a photo of the RWLR and instantly know that's what you're looking at - you could perhaps describe it as minimalist, in that there's not space for loads of buildi...

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock
Hi all, Another two slate wagons reached the "nearly ready" stage after work this afternoon. Would've been sooner, but I dropped them on the floor and had to glue the axleboxes back onto one of them. I was pleased to note that the bodywork survived the fall unscathed, although I don't plan...

Re: North Avenue Line
That's looking great, full of character... It reminds me of the Silvertown Tramway in east London, which I vaguely remember from what must have been its dying days, with rusty rolling stock on rusty sidings. I think it linked the Tate and Lyle sugar refinery and various scrapyards with the mainline....
