Whistle and servo position In our Lady Ann
We recently had a regulator servo failure in our Lady Ann so while the body was off to replace the servo and set up the regulator I done a short video of the servo mount and whistle lever position. Mounted this way there is no interference with the body removal other than pulling off the silcon stea...

Re: My build thread of the Kerr Stuart Brazil my first real Loco
Done a little more finally closed the boiler up and finshed the smoke box shell, After pressure testing the boiler I decided to paint both the boiler and the smokebox with cylinder head paint which i fired off in the kiln for an hour at 200c http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w385/dizzyfpvgirl/2019...
Re: Post box

A bigger diesal for the PSLR
After a visitor from up the line visited us last year and enjoyed a day of steaming on the PSLR . We were both instantly in love with one of his locomotives. So thoughts gathered on the purchase of said loco however the ready to run version was indeed a fair few pennies. So since we had a Round hous...

Re: Update on the Pasty and Serpentine Light Railway
Hi guys next step completed during a sunny if a bit windy spell, thank for your interest. I am winging it a bit here never built a turntable before, however its become very obvious to me if a bit late that this really needs to be far more accurately made than i first visualized, but hit on the idea ...

Re: Update on the Pasty and Serpentine Light Railway
Thanks peeps for your lovely comments I managed to scrounge some stainless steel sheet today so got stuck in and made a start on the turntable :D I decided to go with a shallow pit turntable and base it on A Ransomes and Rapier design so it stays in keeping with our 2ft gauge Railway . I painted the...

Re: The Emerald and Gembrook Creek Tramway in 16mm
I like the fact that your planning on a couple of passing places within your railway we could do with at least one more ourselves don't be surprised if it grows from your drawing :D Ours did very quickly lol. Good luck on your PW work take your time and enjoy :D regards Steph and Gloria from the PSLR

Update on the Pasty and Serpentine Light Railway

A lot of thought was put into where and how...
