Re: Another Faller Railbus
I do like a railbus, never seen a Faller railbus I didn't like but these are particularly nice. Loads of character and quite distinct.

Re: Blog, Pictures, and Videos
I use Wordpress for blogging and would recommend it. You can start a Wordpress blog for free on wordpress.com (the software itself is open source so lots of people - like me - host it themselves, but using wordpress.com is simpler). I think it's easy to use, but that might be because I've been using...

Wonderful photos. You've turned a (near) tragedy into a triumph there!

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
The resin all looks beautifully crisp. I must resume the struggle with my resin printer, if the rewards might be anything like that kind of quality!

Re: How make stl files poseable with Blender
Thanks Philip these look like great instructions, when I have a moment I will definitely work through, it'll be so useful if I can learn how to do this!

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
Once I got the hang of it, it was quite easy and potentially opens all sorts of possibilities for posing figures. If anyone wants to know how to do it, just shout. AHOY THERE! Yes please, thinking back to when I bought my first printer, figures was one of my key purposes, but none of my half-hearte...

Lovely consistent finish across both new and refurbished elements, great looking loco.

Those prints are superb. How did you orientate to cab interior to print it?

Re: The Railway in the Valley of the Mill
Excellent! Looking forward to running round there.
I had thought it might be a bit of a squeeze behind the veg, but I can see the space you’re making turning the bank into a wall is substantial. Does look really great. (As do the leeks by the way!)

Re: HGLW loco tweak
Fresh from all of these centre-cab discussions, I was having a little read of the latest SMT and on p44 there was... well, more of an off-centre cab loco, this Jung Motorloc at the Katwijk Narrow Gauge Museum.

Re: HGLW loco tweak
My HGLW loco - an LB1 - was Moel Rhos' first is still the most used. Same chassis. I do really like that steeple cab, have been sorely tempted many times. This is not that similar - not even narrow gauge - but it's one of my favourites: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6b/Hellingly_R...

Re: The Railway in the Valley of the Mill
How long will the completed line be? And how long will it take to complete a single trip? Depends how fast you go of course, but back in May it took me 13 minutes to get to just this side of the steps in Trevor's photos... I was wondering if there was an equivalent to acetone for PLA so looked it u...

Re: Mamod Brunel
It's single cylinder isn't it? So starting it (normally) requires the 'hand of god' in the form of spinning the flywheel. Certainly that's how it is with my single cylinder Regner Konrad, which I've fitted R/C to anyway - it's useful being able to control the speed and stop it remotely, and most imp...

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
Magnificent. Somehow, just absolutely 'right', like that's the only way a 3'6" gauge blue BR Garratt could possibly look.
