Well after just over 2 months of work, the buffet car was put on its wheels today, and many of the details are being added (including 3 lego glasses that are just the right size, thanks to the person who suggested lego for detailing). The couplings are on so the carriage can be towed as well, but y...

i sort of agree with them matt. If you are lookin to get a loco cheap keep it shhhhh! However, I do think it is great letting others here wh dont check ebay quite so often as myself or mhlr becuse sometimes people miss things, especially if they are poorly titled or described. so theres a lady anne ...

there is also a roundhouse russell on. search in rails of sheffield store under live steam. also a railcar from them.

i was watching that and all the other bits they were selling. still out of my price range. sort of! Not as cheap as the old colonial version of the Lady Anne that PTLRcecil told us about from Stoneleigh....

no i'm not. its being exchanged for something else!

lol! i'm currently strippin the bits of paint that did stick to the frames so they are as good as new. ready for their new owner.

Well it arrived, I painted the wheels, attempted to paint th frames, made a mess of that, and my lady anne got put on the back burner as more pressing issues needed to be tackled, such as building a new station for the PTLR. On top of that funding for the rest of the kits has dried up! Does this mea...

Have you got to the one with the mad play dead fellas. Do you mean when they get sent though the teleporter to different places and caboose and the chief end up in the middle of a game of capture the flag? Gotta say one of my fave scenes is: "But i'm a pacifist!" "Isnt that wht they ...

Never mind.  What's your new signature from ptlrcecil? A machinima series called red vs blue. All done using computer game engines and hileriously funny. You can find it on youtube. sorry this is O/T but just have to say cecil goes on and on bout RvB but i have succumbed to it and am now hooked! up...

Thats looking spot on mate. Wish my attempts at scratch built carriages looked half as good as that!

It's a lubricator that ptlrcecil's dad fitted when he rebuilt the mamod for me.  I'm not to sure which maker it's from. I belive it's a genuine Sparkes Engineering article? I've been chatting with the PTLR staff this evening and I believe it to be a genuine Sparkes Engineering lubricator, but pleas...

Looks like you've really enjoyed yourself in Yorkshire. Being a yorkshire native also, i'm not remotely surprised! I'va also been to most of the locations photographed, with the exception of the 'Grand Designs' house. Can't beat a bit of grand designs... gives you something to dream of one day when ...

TO:DGH, staff & volunteers of the NBR, and anyone else i may have offended in my earlier posts regarding the North Bay Railway's official website. It appears I have been mistaken and my comments have somwhat aggrivated people who have a connection to the line. For that I give my sincerest apolog...

So what is everyone planning for the holidays? Is the Bure Valley Railway, and the North Norfolk Railway, any good? Both are great, as is the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway which is also in the region. For Easter I'm spending a couple of days in Yorkshire, going to the NYMR's LNER festival to s...
