As a break from work / full size steam / steam modelling - and following the success of Plodwynn (see earlier thread) I've just ordered the latest offering from IP Engineering - the Ezee Diesel Railcar. (A brand new loco for less than £30?! Got to get me a one of those!). http://www.ipengineering.co...

Very good luck with the kit Garrett - I'm sure you'll have a great time building and running her. A very capable little engine by all accounts when done! I'll be watching this thread closely, as I'm about to buy one myself - and would like to know any problems or suggestions you might have! Cheers, ...

Wow - cheers for the replies guys! Was just proving a point about IP railcars - not fishing for compliments! The skips are next in the paint-shop - after finishing off a gas-fired Merlin loco. They were bought as a job lot at the steam toys in action do at Leicester - although they were rather hideo...

Just to prove she'll do it! Plodwynn pausing on the uphill with 5 skip wagons and a loaded slate wagon.

(and I know the stone cat isn't quite 16mm scale!)

Hi Guys, Just a quick query about the cheap and cheerful Triang / Novo 'Big Big Train' Rustons - has anyone had much experience bashing these into something which looks remotely good? I'm buying a couple, and want to hack them into a matched pair - but if anyone's got any pictures / advice / etc I'd...

Hi All, Firstly apologies for not posting much recently - but it's the old story, work takes over! However, now the daffs are out, it's time to get back on with the Woodlands Light Railway! Here's a couple more pics of Plodwynn and slate wagon after a bit of a cosmetic overhaul. Apologies for the qu...

Lets do it! I'm game if you are! Cracking little things like that need recognition.

Looking good there MHLR - nice to see you've got a cracking little loco in the fleet! Snap on the IP wagon behind as well.

Hope Daisy brings you as good service as Plodwynn has for me!

Looking good! Might have to invest in one of those little darlings for the heavier works-trains on the WLR. Thinking of purchasing another IP Railcar and making a double-heading radio controlled pair - but we'll see.

Keep up the good work Chris!

Thanks for the replies guys. Much appreciated. I put some open-gear lubricant on the gears originally but still get the wearing problem. I'll get that off and try something like vaseline to see if that makes much difference. I don't really like the look of the bare wood one as per IP, although the l...

Hello all, Just a quick first post really to show my part completed IP Engineering Railcar (Christened Plodwynn) and wagon. I intend to add a lot more detail to it soon, but wanted to get it running satisfactorily first. The first non-steam loco on the Woodlands Light Railway. Has anyone had much ex...
