Some time ago I bought a Tx22 (and other bits) from Rik and a couple of days ago I finally unpacked it and found that it had a small problem with a component. Rik advised me to return it which I did and I've already had the postage refunded and the repaired controller is on it's way back to me. An e...

Thanks for that. There are a couple of videos of a quarry railway over in the 16mm Facebook page and the chalk faces look very much like a section of a rough rendered house wall with a few thick coats of masonry paint on it. I might try a few small sections with various ideas and see how they come o...

Chalk Quarry
My railway includes a chalk quarry. Now the frosts are gone I want to start rendering the sides of the quarry and incline. I had thought of using of plain cement render and then 'texturing' it when partly set. However I thought I'd ask on here first as it's a mine of information. Has anyone any brig...

DON'T go to Blackham transfers - he should be treated like the late Tom Cooper - buy it if you see it on the stand! He was the chap who told me, after an enquiry, that he was working on something similar to what I wanted and would I mind him sending some samples for comment when ready. After emaili...

The bricks are only temporary! However I intend making at least one of them out of concrete. In 1944 my Grandfather drove a USATC 2-8-0 off the end of the turning triangle at Eastleigh shed - he'd not driven one before and nobody told him the steam brake was relatively useless and needed a lot of wa...

All the ‘main line’ track is down, not all fixed yet though. From right to left – three road goods yard, loop, main line with the train in it (there will be a platform on the left of the train) station back road, loading dock road. In the background is a two road loco yard. The quarry tramway inclin...

I made a number of different links today, using soft iron seizing wire because it's malleable and easy to shape. The photo shows the best one now made in stainless steel florist's wire. As far as I can see the free end needs to be square and fairly wide, there needs to be a bend to clear the buffer ...

Binnie Camarthen Couplings
I've standardised on Binnie medium Camarthen Couplings, mainly because they are cheap! Peter Binnie tells me that 'The Camarthen couplings were intended to be used with a wire link rather than chain'. Has anyone out there a drawing for a successful wire link please?
