Really looking forward to seeing the entries for this one. Details are always fun to pour over.

Not a lot of detail on this one, but here's mine.

Lovely jubbly!

Mamod's have always had 'interesting' running characteristics🤦‍♂️, but to begin with I think Aaron is right - it needs to be run in before you begin to see its true running characteristics. By the way - your railway looks like an excellent candidate for an Inspectors visit - I can see a great yarn d...

Can you borrow a prog 4 to programme it with, or borrow a different TX, like a TX20? I have a Prog4 but it no longer works with the serial cables/Coolterm.. it's all obsolete. Nobody I know within half a days journey to borrow from ( I think you are about the nearest! :roll: ) unfortunately and it'...

Fibre cement sheeting is available from the usual stockists in the UK, usually advertised as bathroom tiling backing sheet. I have 2 boards which have been stored outside ready for a project I have not yet got around to. They are completely unaffected by the elements so far (rain, frost and sunlight...

I would be a +1 for the gif tutorial, even for uses outside the forum.

The winner of the March 2024 Gallery is Lonsdaler with " My Stock with Not My Stock". It's been an interesting one this time and the variety of entries has been amazing, so thanks to all who entered. So, well done Phil. Please may I have your proposal for the next Gallery subject in the n...

That looks really good. It'll be interesting to see it complete with a 'weathered' appearance.

Excellent. Any room for a steam loco soundcard?

Hey Chaps, Been a little while since i posted last. a couple of exciting things have happened since i last posted. I finally have acquired a Bachmann Davenport for use as the tramways main diesel. this will be converted to battery power when funds are available to do so. i have been slowly investin...

That's an impressive conversion. Look forward to seeing it running. And thank you from me for the link to the wiring diagram software.

C'mon guys, your Forum needs you! These magazines are nearly thirty years old and still in good condition. Certainly too good to throw away. They are interesting historical documents of early days of 16mm modelling and well worth reading. Will someone please offer £10.00 and I will pay the postage....

It's a great piece of filming. I've always felt that Lynton was missing some element - a 'je ne sais quoi' if you will. I think the railway is it - it justifies the cliff railway and the lovely architecture in an otherwise isolated town.

Aha! I thought you may have gone this way with it... https://topstastic.blogspot.com/2023/05/mcewan-pratt-petrol-locomotives-for.html [media]https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIldNF5AgoYuP_wTTfuG2bbstA8evCMydlEt0RbDIXG7-Dqs4nF0ykHvD1P02-13z-oAF6F1U7H1fHl99gqTSY90GJLtPvWva81...

And that was the video I've been waiting for! Fantastic job Aaron, and a really engaging blog. Well done

Absolutely incredible effort there, Aaron, and the first drive video was worth the wait. Your Mom (I presume) is right - it's pretty cool! Well done.

'Ang on, I thought, 'oo's this? Screenshot_20240223_093937_Firefox.jpg Don't look like the Old man Aaron that I thought I knowed? And then I looked at your profile picture again... Screenshot_20240223_094020_Firefox.jpg And knock me down with a feather, you aren't as old as you look!🤣 You've certain...

Nice to see another sister to my Mochyn. I couldn't get rechargeable batteries in mine with radio gear and one of your 'greeting card' sound cards, so I plumped for a permanent tool wagon, which I don't think looks out of place. Using a pair of 18650s, it will run all day and then some - I didn't re...

Keep this coming please Aaron. It's in 'off topic' so it's in the right place
(BTW, I genuinely thought that was you laughing about the mismatched and loose manifold bolt )

That's stunning Aaron. What a way to arrive at garden rail meet ups
