I definitely prefer the Lady Of Sherwood name! Lady Anne does rather mess up the naming arrangements of the line (theres no Wombles called Lady Anne!).

Since the bark removal I've had no problems with buried track, I've actually been able to run stuff without clearing the rails for once.

Its just occured to me I never actually took a photo of the finished livestock wagon with all the details on! I shall do that later.

well the railway is no more, after it was found the purple Millie just didn't like those curves. The track has been lifted, and a large quantity of brand new Peco G-45 is waiting for its new track bed. I intend to have quite wide radius curves this time (managed to get planning permission ;) ) which means I can get on and make the locos I want now without constraint.

Excellent news, nice sweeping curves then. The sounds of flange squeal will be a thing of the past! :twisted:
Tommy Dodd may have an ARS key but I have a TASS button & a Rope Ladder, just like pirates, except the TASS button bit.

Well I do use the old "The louder you scream, the faster the ride" line to moaning punters at work. Havent rolled it yet though.. LOL.

I thought you 45mm lot did not have stability issues.... ;)
