Those coaches are very very nice Phil. Yep a live steamer pulling them would look great, but what you have looks the part I think, but what do I know, others with far more experience in these things might suggest something else, who knows. :dontknow: But remember Rule 1 Phil, (it's your line and if ...

You do have some nice rolling stock there Peter. Love the trams and vertical boilers, in fact I love all of them....

Those wood piles would make for some great wood smoking on a barbecue or a wood burner in the house, even wood chipping like you say your could be getting a chipper in, would help in combating the weeds or (sorry Grant I can't think of the word I need)... angry9:.. Anyway they would come in useful f...

Shame about SVLR Andrew. I know how it must feel note being able to get the line up and running because of some problem or other. Has you know mine is my health problems with is a constant pain in the old backside it really is. It seems like every day is a struggle for me, but I get by with the help...

Read this morning from Leanne Farley, that she is having to close the business, which is a real shame. They produced some fabulous models and they are going to be sorely missed. I for one have had loads of help from Peter and those that took over when he passed. There maybe someone who is willing to...

Just wish I had a bigger bed now for printing things that length, but it's not going to happen for years yet. Yes, well I'm fortunate Rod. I couldn't have afforded the big machines myself either, but technically they both belong to SWMBO's company and were bought to do a job for a particular contra...

Brilliant Drew. It's worth all the effort when you see a scene like this. Wont be that long before you have the line complete, but then comes the rest of it, buildings, rolling stock, people....etc etc.

Looking forward to more photos and updates.

Love the video. I especially like the two steamers very much.

Thats just brilliant. The lighting is superb and a model to show off quite rightly.. :salute: The idea for talking history with your line is also brilliant. Unfortunately history isn't taught that much now in the schools and what there is it's mainly about the Romans from what my second youngest gra...

Going to be brilliant that again Philip.

Just wish I had a bigger bed now for printing things that length, but it's not going to happen for years yet.

Anyway, looking forward to more of your build Philip.

Thats mightily impressive. 0.1 short of 1000 mtrs. It looks just like you are flying over it, it's so realistic.

They are neat Peter. Will have to get some from Jerry I feel.

I hate watching painting dry Peter....

I have for sale some Wheels Sets that are surplus to my requirements. They are brand new, even though they look used, I can swear that I haven't had the need for them. I bought them not knowing what the size meant, see my explanation below. A couple of them have got rust on them, but nothing to be b...

Love it Peter. Great finish and looks just the job.

Looks great Peter. Likings the colour

I use Trimline also and I have used it when I’m painting half and half, but the slightly wider ones.

You really need to post photos at the same time as your description. No good just posting without photos.

Oh No! Hopefully it all goes back together OK Annoyingly, I ordered too new packets of fishplates for the relaying, took 'em into the garden to make a start last weekend, and misplaced them somehow. It's only a small garden, but I've got no idea where they are! Same here Andrew, I loose most things...

Thats looking fantastic already Peter.


HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY PETER

Sorry I forgot to send a card
