Looking really good. Like you, I enjoy finding cheap but effective solutions to detailing.

I agree with Rik on both points.

Excellent; that's what I enjoy about this type of NG modelling, you can let your imagination come up with all sorts of vehicles that probably would never have existed in the prototypical standard gauge world. After all its your railway and the directors can have whatever they want running on it, eve...

Fantastic Peter. In an earlier reply I think you said something about not building to exhibition or competition standards; I disagree. Not only your individual items, but the entire railway, would not only stand shoulder to shoulder with many exhibits but stand head and shoulders above them. Your wo...

Better and better; I love it!

Very useful and very well illustrated instructions; I'm sure that people will find it useful. Fortunately my 40 year old Mamod was built from a kit which had everything needed to build as either 32mm or, as my case, 45mm gauge, so I have never needed to do a conversion. It has also been converted to...

Had me going as well, Philip, even better for it at that size. The only N gauge crane I had was a Lone Star body on a modified Peco LWB chassis with a swb chassis as the basis for the runner. As you say Grant, couldn't do it now, but I still have it, over 40 years on!

Love the crane; really does look the part. Just one question, what sort of time dilation apparatus are you using? The days in your location are obviously a hell of a lot longer than those that we mere mortals enjoy!

Indeed, fantastic atmosphere.

Looks great Grant.
I see from the station building that the Directors used the same image consultants as the SLR Directors; BR(WR) influence

Could be genuine, but doesn't read like it; smacks of a con to me and I wouldn't have anything more to do with it. And if it is what it looks like, I just hope nobody gets taken in.

Very impressive indeed; and as already said, thanks for the tips especially regarding the tile manufacture.

Not had the problem, as described, with my Ragleth, but I did have an issue with the safety valve sticking open, which following a clean and reset did not really improve things a great deal, so I replaced it; I've had no further problems and a 40 psi pressure is maintained with ease. The only other ...

These are Modeltown signals with added lamps and ladders. For the initial price and the cost of the lamps, ladders and bits of Plastruct, etc I think that they make very acceptable signals at an economic price. This is two of four currently in service, with a least another four to be built. The powe...

Brilliant - they look superb - hard to believe what they started out as. A repaint of at least one of our two rakes is now definitely called for, but I will not be trying to emulate the artistry of yours.

Thanks Grant, I'm no gardener and the fact that there are different varieties of Box is something that never occurred to me; so Dwarf English Box is has to be then.

Thanks for the feed-back on the miniature tree, Dwayne. We've got a few Box, recently planted, which will eventually screen the void under one part of the elevated track-bed, but you've trimmed that one into such a convincing shape that I didn't recognise it - now that I know what it is, a visit to ...

Fantastic railway Dwayne, it has a unique character and charm even at this early stage in its development. I look forward to seeing future pictures. As Charlie has only recently discovered his Figment deposit, where did you get your initial supply as there is obviously plenty feeding your imaginatio...
