Re: Atropos Rolling Stock Kits
No idea. I've just done a search on t'internet, and found nothing definitive in terms of numbering systems for miniature screwdrivers. Flat bladed all seem to be measured in fractions of mm and mm (and are colour coded). Cross head are numbered but only go from 000 to 1. I did find this on numbering...

Re: The Railway in the Valley of the Mill
Me too, it sounded quite blustery at that point- I was expecting any moment for the brake van to take a short-cut .....Peter Butler wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 9:58 am Wonderful video Trevor, proper train in natural surroundings. I was a little anxious as it crossed the trestle, though.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Could have been devastating by the looks of it. As Graeme says, the gods must have been watching over you. It would have been a tragedy if your lovely line had been destroyed.

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
More seriously, what do you use to produce the lovely schematic diagrams like this one. It obviously doesn't take all that long to do, given the response time from my post to your reply.

Re: 32mm/45mm railway
Another possibility is that the 3' gauge railway is the 'mainline' and the 2' gauge railway is an 'Estate Railway' transporting goods and passengers from/to the mainline to/from a stately home.

They must have existed but not yet tracked one down.
Of course, the Peckforton Light Railway is a three-foot line with two two-foot feeders (copper mine and sand quarry) ....

Re: A short 4-wheel wagon
Almost forgot. Some skip wagons have inside frames. You'd need to shorten the wheelbase, though.

Paint job looks fine to me, Steve. I'm never sure about having a high gloss finish on ng locos. I tend to dull mine down with a coat of satin lacquer anyway.
