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.

Re: The Charlwood Light Railway (CWLR)
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 ...

Re: The Charlwood Light Railway (CWLR)
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...

Re: The Charlwood Light Railway (CWLR)
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 ...

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...

High maintenance or not, it looks great!

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...
