I am surprised my little line is of that much interest as I always feel like the underdog on here compared to what others achieve. I do need to sort out my SL's paintwork soon as it is far too glossy, it really shows in my videos. Tom i think you really do have some great modelling skill’s, if you ...

Great modelling Rik, hope to achieve some modicum of skill such has your’s...

Thanks chaps. It's the usual case, now I've made one I know how I ought to have done the job. Not sure I'd want to make another, though - part of the fun is figuring out how to solve each problem as it arises. When she's finished, I'd say my outlay; secondhand Otto, batteries, radio control, materi...

Nice looking loco that, i am new to this, can you please tell me what make is the loco and are they still available. :thumbup: It is a Roundhouse Lady Anne but it has had extra detail added. Thanks Tom, she is a beautiful looking loco that’s for sure. I have dropped little hints to my partner who i...

Correct there Rik, but there is also the question about oncoming cars overtaking parked or slow moving vehicles i.e. Bikes, parked cars, milk floats, tractors, you get the idea. Oncoming vehicles, whether the by cars, vans, lorries and even tractors themselves do not wait to let traffic coming towar...

Love the photo’ of some very nice locos and trains, i also loved the Panniers, you cant beat the real big steamers....

I agree with Tom, love the colour scheme on the coaches.

Nice looking loco that, i am new to this, can you please tell me what make is the loco and are they still available.

Great layout Dave, love the way it passes under the footbridge, and the little bench on the tunnel. brilliant...

Some great photo’s here, shame again i can’t see the Photobucket ones.

Is there no more winners to show now.

Really interesting thread of some beautiful locos, unfortunately i am not able to view your’s Killian Keane, Photobucket want me to upgrade my account for which i won’t do.

But looking at the others, they are really fine looking locos. :thumb: Can you still get them.

Fantastic looking steamer, love it.

Looks great, hope i can be has successful..

Love this Rik, can you make me one lol.

Great job on the bridge Tom, i love it. :thumbup: Looking at some thing else though, when you were uncoupling your Silver Lady, i noticed the levers moving in the cab, is it not possible to put a little driver in there with a movable arm so it looks like he is moving it, or is that a stupid question...

I agree with you Rik about car and van drivers, also lorry drivers who speed along country lanes, while we was in the Lakes last week a few lorry drivers were going that fast around bends that they were over the white line. But i don’t think drivers of cars or any other vehicle have to give at least...

I agree Peter that they should pass a cycling test, but they will argue that they have done a proficiency test, which is all well and good, ( I did mine when I was 10 years old, flipping heck, times have moved on. Also about the trialists they also can be a problem,near me there is a club that do tr...

Why do cyclists think they are immune to using their BRAKES...just come back from the local shops and i had 2 near misses with them, now i know they will say us motorists are just has bad, but we do at least us our brakes. One of the cyclists and i even ended up on the wrong side of the road because...

....... our partnership was doomed, but a new one began and has lasted 47 years on 29th August. Looks like a partnership that has made it over the 1st,2nd,3rd,4th and 5th innings, batting so well :) :) :) Congratulations in advance Peter on your forth coming anniversary... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Well good news, :D i have got the tram to bind, i put the selecta to channel 2, pressed the red led and it started flashing and hey presto, in 2-3 seconds it stopped flashing, it was weird seeing my thumb go red lol :D :D . Though i think the RX for the Pickup i don’t think is the correct channel, i...
