You’d never tell there was issues with the Humbrol paint, that’s a stunning job!

Beyond brilliant, as always!

He’s definitely still active on FB. He has a number of Colonial locos that are right up my street.

Was that a scratch build Rob... :?: It is, but not by me. There’s a guy who sells them from time to time on eBay. :) [quote=FWLR post_id=152392 time=<a href="tel:1585811140">1585811140</a> user_id=1833] Was that a scratch build Rob... :?: It's nice, isn't it? Looks like it probably works ...

Thanks Guys!

As part of an ongoing drive to improve safety and standards, the CLR S&T department have today installed a home signal at Charlwood station. Similar installations will follow at Top-End.

Thanks Rod! The more I see them the more happy I am with them.

Excellent!

Thanks Rik!


I’ve just posted a video of them in action on YouTube...

The two tone stands out really well, new here, and I couldn’t see what your base model is, it looks like a Bachmann, hope lam not insulting you :) Not at all! The fact that you don’t recognise them is a good sign I think! They are indeed Bachmann ones. I’d have preferred the LGB ones but the price ...

I’ve only had a quick flick through mine, but I certainly instantly stands out as a quality production. Very much looking forward to reading it properly!

Great paint job, I like the darker brown roof of the top pics. the livery gives them a very V. R. look when ours were carriage red and moonstone. Grant. Thanks Grant. It’s also similar to SAR/SAS livery, which is what I based my 009 carriages on. Its a very attractive livery in my eyes. The idea be...

That looks fantastic! Thanks Andrew! There’s a few things I’m not 100% happy with, the roof being the main one. The masking tape I used wasn’t my usual choice, and there’s a bit of bleeding on the clerestory and I’m not convinced by the colour. These were always intended to be tinkered with so I’m ...

Getting there! https://i.imgur.com/gouWi6p.jpg Please excuse the loose wire, I haven’t put everything back together properly yet... https://i.imgur.com/uJ1LIeT.jpg I’ve also added a small piece of chain across the gap in the railings on the guards balcony. All other balconies will now be fitted the ...

Thanks Rob - it's always a pleasure to see pictures of your line. The carriages will look great running together. You've inspired me to do a little clearance work and maybe run a train myself... Cheers, Andrew. Thanks Andrew, I’m hoping so. Over time they’ll have some of their Americanisms toned do...

High maintenance or not, it looks great!

I actually quite enjoy the maintenance side of things.

Thanks Guys, it’s good to be back out there! I must say I also like photos to be taken from a low angle (as you can probably tell). I guess it’s to do it being more immersive. Anyway, today’s job was to get the other Jackson-Sharp into a state that it could run. In other words, it needed couplers fi...

The weather is good, so what else is there to do whilst under lockdown and self isolating?

Well Rob, job sorted.... :thumbright: I have an App that monitors scammers and hackers, even though Apple do have very secure operating systems, they are not totally secure. They will tell you that themselves. If a scammer or hacker wants to get in they will. So on the App Store, Apple have some ap...
