Re: Building a radio controlled (electric) traction engine

Loved the video Greg, it was a bit steep that hill…. :)

Re: 16mm and its relationship with other scales

We so need a "like" button on this forum. NO...NO...NO... never! We need sensible communication and response to posts, not the simplicity to say 'like'..... that is the end of conversation! I agree with Peter and others…No “Like” button for me. On the subject of snobbishness, I was at a l...

Re: Cats and Dogs Railway (austrian narrow gauge)
