I'm testing the parameters with this one. Does 'in bloom' mean flowers only or will any sort of foliage qualify?

Not sure Rik. I have my view here, but I've asked Peter (BWLR) for his thoughts since it is his theme.

Lovely picture BTW, this is shaping up to be a good competition!

Excellent start Peter, thank you.

BWLR has proposed: " Garden railways in bloom” for this quarter. Now I know that many of you have very nice gardens, so lets see some bloomin' good pictures!

Rules as always, closing date for entries will be 10th June.

Assuming that yours is glass, I tend to use IPA routinely from time to time, just to collect dust etc that has accumulated, and Acetone if it has any kind of adhered build up. However, if you let the glass cool down comp...

Hi Dave, Like Rik, I don't have an Ender, but I do have a Creality CR20Pro, which is very similar. I don't actually recall a plastic film on the bed when I got it 12 months ago, but it may well have had it. I'm sure it needs to be removed though. Do you have a magnetic bed or a glass one? My CR20 Pr...

A quick bump with only a couple of days left to vote

Well done, that looks exactly right to me.

I thought only one motor would be pushing it a bit!

With my penchant for oddball loco's I was tempted to have a go at this once I read the article, but at over a foot long it's too big for my line. I've always fancied a Shay and this has that look without the outward complications, but...

Nice build Graeme. I'm not quite clear as to whether both bogies are powered?
I do like the look of that loco, shame it was so unsuccessful in real life, just hope your version gets on better.
