Pics from yesterday´s Boxing Day running session with a Peter Angus Single Fairlie and a new-ish Mamod "Brunel", picked up at Llanfair this year Since I don´t use flash, some of the trains seem to be making a quick get away, due to the long exposure times.

Yesterday´s session was composed of an attempt to get the enclosed cab Decauville 3t. I used almost all the gas on the first run just trying to get the burner lit (without setting fire to the rest of the line).

A few pics from yesterday´s session, which was for the benefit of a visiting neighbour. Luckily the Double Fairlie behaved impeccably. Photos are courtesy of young Miss K&NWLR, which is probably why we have a baby elephant next to the signal box.

The K&NWLR as dusk falls, the time when unexpected visitors arrive on or near the K&NWLR.

A quick and wobbly phone video, which also gives a glimpse of the Kent end of the line.

These two locos are made by Finescale. Hope this helps.

Nice Hunslets. Do they do a version with R/C to?

Too small for R/C, I would think, and Finescale delivered their last batch of Hunslets some time ago. This one was second-hand.

Had a few questions a while back about how all these little bits of the K&NWLR fit together, so I´ll post some pics which show an overall view. It´s not pretty, and there are things that need a lot of work, but it may help to get a better feel for what it looks like.

North Wales side first, with Kent to follow in the next post.

Work bench is a big word for the first piece of furniture I bought when I moved to Switzerland in 1985. It was then called a "desk / dining room table / workbench".

I've just read through this thread from top to bottom. Others have said it along the way, but it bears repetition -- this is totally amazing! The high standard of construction, the vision and composition of the scenes and the sheer scale of it all. I moved outside and started digging to get a railway with a feeling of being substantial, this achieves all of that and more -- and inside too!
