Had the same thought! Makes me wonder how many times I.N. Spectre has covered enough distance to circumnavigate the globe..
Always happy to help.

Re: Mamod Brunel - Mark 3
The boiler bands really balance the look of the thing. I really do like these little Mamods.
How much are you pulling on that single cylinder, anyway?

Looks like a Sten gun.
Edit: That's what I get for replying before reading all responses.
Beautiful job. Those dummy valve spindle guides give it away.

Re: It's a Sign!
You're making perfect sense. I agree, and feel I'm in the latter category. At least for now. Would love to take a course, it would certainly make it easier to learn how to plot things by hand. If only I could afford a trip up there.. Funny the topic of signwriting comes up, I just painted a new shop...

Re: Chassis thickness.
Back in my 7¼" days, I seem to remember most steam and coupled-wheeled diesel locos at my club had frames of around ¼" / 6.4mm thick. 8mm seems slightly overkill to my mind, but the extra weight and rigidity certainly wouldn't go awry. 5mm does sound a bit flimsy; but I think could be made...

Re: It's a Sign!
Beautiful work! It's not easy to do, but very rewarding.
I'll admit to cheating by making my designs in the computer, then tracing it out. Drawing it by hand isn't something I can do too well on 16mm scale shopfronts. Haven't yet tried it on something larger..
Looking forward to seeing more.

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
I'd imagine you must have a portal to another dimension hidden away somewhere. No idea how you manage to fit such a vast collection in that shed with the indoor section of your line.

Re: New Guy Introduction - Steam Newbie
My Roundhouse Bundy Fowler was bought through Anything Narrow Gauge, they sell a wide variety of used live steamers. Andy (I think that was his name :scratch: )tests and fettles every loco before sale. I mention this because like you, I am not in the UK. The loco was very well packed and has been a ...

Really liking the even-narrower-gauge mine tramway. Miniature trees are always nice to see, too.
