I could watch those all day. Likewise Pendopilots vids. 16mil steam trains puffing their way through pleasant garden scenery.

Wish i could see the DVD everyone's talking about. My PC is currently having a sulk and refusing to play DVD's. :cry: It is better I agree if near scale speeds are adhered to - not always possible with my Mamod- thought about naming it Roadrunner!

Firstly, No not Bundaberg.

OK a quickie while Tommy Dodd is preparing his fiendishly difficult one.
(at the risk of two running at once)

a) a range of hills

b) a glass of stout

c) a N/G loco.

Er, would it be a dual guage line where the 'common' rail is being
