Re: Tytherington Light Railway
Really liking the even-narrower-gauge mine tramway. Miniature trees are always nice to see, too.

Re: Mamod Quarry loco - hellllp!!
I couldn't help you on the boiler threads, but as for the running, your video gives me the impression it just needs a good few (8+) hours of running in.

Re: Simplex Yard Shunter
11/04/24 Cheers gents, glad you like it. I really do. :) Those of you keen to see weathering will either be intrigued, or disappointed - maybe both. I've decided for this one, to try something new. Something a little different from my growing little fleet. I want this one to look like a recent repai...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
The all-over grey really suits the loco, and adds to the gruff charm of the thing.
I will admit I'm no fan of cheapy sound, but through the video, that doesn't seem half bad.
That quarry railway is really neat, too.

Re: What filler?
I like automotive filler primer. I've found "Spray putty" tends to be a slightly thicker filler primer, and for the same money it's better for smoothing printed parts. If you're any good with a spray can, it's fast, easy to apply and a can will do 2-3 average-sized loco kits. I like to eit...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
Well, so far it's had an initial grey primer spray, 2 coats of acrylic black spray, a coat of black acrylic brushed on, and another coat of grey primer on top! Egg on my face, then! :lol: Perhaps a sliver of aluminium foil could be positioned in the 1mm slot, above the LED, with tweezers? It's thin...

Re: Simplex Yard Shunter
12/03/24 A Deltang Rx63 receiver was removed from another loco and fitted to the Simplex, using some very small connectors. Surprisingly, (even out of sight 6 meters away) the whitemetal bonnet doesn't seem to affect the signal. The receiver (and bonnet) are held in place with blu-tac. https://i.pos...
