Hi, I have yes, once I have the Superbarns nailed I will be looking at producing (in no order) Barns, Carnforths and Tin Cars. I have already started thinking forward to the Barns as they will need similar construction techniques to the Superbarns. The laser cutting has been done for the prototype a...

Hi all, That's a nice looking rake that Tony. Just thinking how good that would look with a WHR rake. @max, I thought you had, but no worries it was interesting to hear. I agree 32mm/45mm gauge is the way to go. I had thought about the AGM however I will be busy operating at the show. I am aiming to...

Hello Max, Thank you very much for your feedback. With this rake of Ffestiniong railway super barns I will be aiming at the taliesins, penrhyn ladies, New elr double fairlies, lyd and any other engines I have missed mountaineer? Regarding costings you have listed. I do have it in mind that £500 will...

Hi,
Price does seem to be cropping on most peoples minds. Mine included! I will have a rough idea of price after the prototype has been built.

Hi Peter,

Sorry I am intending on making batches of RTR models only for the time being. Although I potentially may sell the bogies separately.

Hi All, I have been developing a model of the FfWHR's Superbarns. Just a few details like the battery boxes, door handles and Vac/electrical pipes to go. The carriage shown is an accurate 16mm scale model of the carriages 121, 108 or 103. https://www.festipedia.org.uk/wiki/Carriage_108… With a few a...

Might say on the website? He mentioned a 9v battery as being the easiest, mainly for testing. So I am guessing some form of 9v charger would work.

One thing that was mentioned last night was that the blue servos didn't react as quickly as some of the other servos. The recommended servo was http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__16257__HobbyKing_8482_HK15178_Analog_Servo_10g_1_4kg_0_09s.html Cheaper too at £1.50 a pop. Apparently the bounce...

http://modratec.com/ Modratec is one company who do interlocking frames and all the control mechanisms required for them. One of their products is wire in a tube. Just listened to a talk by Dave of Megapoints at the Huddersfield MRC. http://loolee.org/megapoints/ It was very interesting and seemed a...

Hi all, Are there any kind folk out there that could lend me some bits of mamod track for this Sunday the 25th Jan. My flatmates and I are doing come dine with me themed nights. I have the first night this Sunday. For the entertainment of the evening I am looking for some mamod track to borrow and s...

I will class myself as one of those "Nerds" that doesn't necessarily enjoy just watching a train go round and round in a circle. We used to use a beeper arrangement on Rowlands Lodge which didn't receive any complaints. More complaints were made about the LGB stuff going round with repetit...

Some close pictures from when the prototype came to Dads line on test.

Well said dweller of DVT's (ex dweller?). In our own imaginary histories of the lines, whose to say how many of a certain loco were built. Maybe there were some other locos shaped uncannily like Beddgelert that were destined for an overseas railway but unfortunetly for Hunslet of Leeds the order was...

Hi folks, I'd like to congratulate my Dad for organising what seemed to be a very successful layout this weekend. Thanks to him and 5 other builders we managed to run an impressive first outing. Many thanks also to the people who helped setup/ knockdown and also those of you who helped keep our loco...

There was a queue to order one before the doors opened. A lovely Welsh prototype. Good to see they listened to the feedback they were given.

Ffesty Double Fairlie?

Basis of engines using power bogies?
I may be a bit biased about that though...

Darjeeling c class could only be topped by a Beddgelert in my view. Both engines fit the proportions of roundhouse engines ie not too diminutive. I wonder if roundhouse would ever produce a coal fired model. I would be surprised if they did, but it would be a great surprise. Good taste injin. Correc...

My only gripe and worry is the WHR platform placement. When the welsh weather does its thing, WHR passengers will get very wet. Also worried that it will end up with a canopy like Caernafon. The signalling although complicated will be interesting. In thirty years time it will be common practice and ...

For my sins open ttd is a good way of wasting an hour or two

Particulary like the citybuilder ones
