I really love this detail. Particularly the mugs hanging under the shelf!

This sounds a most exciting project. Seems like a best of both sort of solution!

Looks like a grand time was had by all. I wish I could have been there but had a wedding to go to.

I do like the wagon with the flap down sides.

Blyth is 1/5 of the way there already Jim!

A new build Lion would be first on my list I think!

The loco looks very well at the head of those pairs carriages Doug.

A little time has elapsed to say the least! Mainly because I managed to loose the pump! I was rather angry with myself for loosing it - it must have fallen down as it was found in the soil of a ground level flowerbed by the Mother 8 months later I've overhauled it and changed the arrangement of the ...

Sad news when a railway closes. Do you think you'll have a chance soon to set back up?

Wow, what wonderful shapes you have already captured. I can't wait to see this progressing. What is your plan for the window material?

Looks like it will be a good addition to the fleet. Its the only other one of those I've seen apart from the one in the WHHR gift shop. Its interesting - on your video it sounds like the camera is picking up the transmitted signals?

I didn't have my "subscriber number" sent to me but I found the people on the end of the phone very helpful and the transaction was made over the phone rather than online.

Would it be possible to put a gentle S bend in those long straights? A free running steamer could build up quite a bit of speed down there!

A little fun from 7 years ago. MHLR's rather fierce gradient was a little hair raising with a manual loco to say the least...

I wonder how many forumers will remember the first time this was posted here?

I suppose it depends what you want out of your railway. If a "Hands off" driver its probably best to go for flat, if you enjoy driving your locos a stiff gradient can be great fun esp if your locos are light footed. On GERick's line I visited with my Merlin Little Wonder. It plodded round ...

Thank you kindly for the link! I'm quite please with how much I payed for mine...

These photos are really wonderful. Everything seems just right!

I picked it up from the Model town stand at Peterborough. I only saw that one and a 4 wheel motor bike one. The reason why I bought it was the Mid Suffolk Light Railway (where I volunteer as a fireman) had one for their "Plate layer's Gala" a few years ago and it was a lot of fun (if exhau...

Thank you again! I've got a question to field. With the idea of having seperate locos owned by the Coprolite Company (How does "Bawdsey Coprolite Company Ltd." or "Deben Phosphates" sound?) I was wondering what livery they should be. I've got several ideas but am in a bit of a mu...

Thank you for the kind comments. The tiny plants is actually one very wide spread plant! It's called "Mind your own buisness" or Soleirolia soleirolii. It is incredibly invasive but looks rather nice as it has very small leaves. Mind came from one small cutting from DLR Dan and each time I...
