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.

Re: Mamod Quarry loco - hellllp!!
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...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
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'...

Re: Baseboard Construction
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...

Re: Early editions of 16mm Today magazines
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 They are interesting historical documents of early days of 16mm modelling and well worth reading.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....

Re: Vintage footage
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.

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.

Re: HGLW loco tweak
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...
