Looked even better "in the metal" at Exeter- fit & finish of everything was stunning.

Looks like a "good gig".

Wish they'd take them blummin' BR (WR)- esque 'plates off the Monster though...

Wot he said!

Thankyou for sharing- some of the most atmospheric 16mm photos I've seen.

Thanks Al. I like the look of the DJB Robert loco, but I wonder if coal firing is a little ambitious for a relative newcomer to 16mm steam. I would be interested to know if the Robert body could be used with a gas fired boiler and RH chassis. John If you go to the "New Products" page on t...

Can't help with the safety valves, but that looks lovely

That looks ace

That is quite something isn't it

Rhos Helyg Locomotive Works may be able to help you (Tony is on here and will doubtless make himself known if he can ;) ) Or I've heard good things of Mike Darby at Chuffed2bits who is an Accucraft authorised repair chappy. I've never had him do any work for me but have spoken to him about a few thi...

The traditional industries this country was built on were the cutting edge technology of their time. It's the fact that we sat on our haunches (and/ or picket lines) and carried on living in the past that we are no longer the world leaders in many of the fields we once were. I work for an engineerin...

Snap!

I think it looks rather smart. I'm waiting for Polar Bear to appear in her 60's livery though...

Adam, I know it's technically off topic, but could you please remind us how much your much maligned Baldwin cost you? I saw the Sabre prototype run and it seemed to go well enough, considering it's prototype nature, 'tho it needed a few tweaks. I can't really say anything about any of the other engi...

That looks fantastic Mr Neil

Was worried for a minute you'd painted your blue one...

I agree that you need one in Ailsa green though

TAN!

And not only 'cos it'll annoy laalratty

It'll be a copy I'm afraid, we trawl the stands at the steam rallies and there's usually more Hunslet plates on sale than Hunslets built

Brilliant bits of kit.

A veritable fleet... stationary engines?

Just down the road from where they were made. In fact a couple of the old boys at our place are ex Listers, admittedly working on newer stuff than you'll have...

Not this year.

Did it last year (Land Rovers). Presumably from "listerboy" you have an auto truck or stationary engine?

Might be there next year in the heavy haulage section.

JOhn

That's simply fantastic.

:hello2: I presume most people know there is one in the UK too ?  At Towyn in the Talyllyn Museum. http://www.talyllyn.co.uk/imagebrowser/view/imagecache/164/half_inner_page :wave: Last time I looked, Belfast was still in the UK ;) Point taken however... I knew there was one on this particular lump...
