I use windows movie maker, fairly simple and is good enough for me!

I like the railbus Where can you get them, or are they the type that crop up in Ebay now and then?

I like the railbus collection, the BR green speed whiskers one looks good

Yeah the squeaking was bugging me, I can't find out what it is either, although I think it's something to do with the axles/wheels/bearings area

Well, had a fairly successful day today, the loco ran fairly well, the only problem being the makeshift battery-pack coming apart frequently and the motor mount somehow moving, and disengaging the gears, but these are going to be sorted out!

Oh and I forgot to mention, the chassis have been fully sprayed, and is now finished

leave it as general goods then you can use it on a maintenance train too. Good idea, I've bought another wagon which is painted in grey, and looks like a maintenance one. Now I know this is technically cheating, but these two I couldn't resist, for £7 each, they were a bargain. I will still be maki...

That looks absolutely brilliant, the lining really finishes it off nicely.
Well done

That was quick to disappear
An open wagon, grey permanent way type thing, another one for my very mixed rake!
I'll put a pic up when receive it

Another bargain I think: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAP...eNa ... 500wt_1156

Did they stop in time?

Some really good pics there, I especially like the one with Superior exiting the tunnel, lovely looking loco

Thanks for the positive comments guys
At the moment I'm in two minds whether to make it a Coal or slate wagon, at the moment I'm swaying more towards coal, what do you all think?

Well, the truck has been painted, the body was sprayed with grey car primer and then black bits picked out by (a rather unsteady) hand. http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt102/ste234/P3275589.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt102/ste234/P3275588.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt102/s...

Now that is a good idea

Looks like there isn't a report post button, some other forums I use have them for cases like this, just click report and it informs the mods of the post and action can be taken

Had I not been out bid on them and won one or two ( ) I almost certainly was going to remove the couplers and fit center ones, and possibly change the wheels.
I must admit, they will look very good in a full rake outside

I'll let you know when I install it, I've yet to buy the radio system

I've used M'troniks on a R/C boat before and they perform great, so I have bought there Loco one for mine, I can't believe how small it is!

Good, I've bought the 4wheel drive chain for mine, don't know if it will make much difference though!
