Re: TVT - Mt Delusion O&K

Glad the paint worked out, looks nice. Of course you're far more patient than I am, I'd be running it round the layout to dry it!!
I never realised how much surface area there is to paint on a paddler, acres and acres and in this weather.

That six wheeled wagon does look nice, looking forward to your paint job.

Re: The (Windmill Hill) Welsh Highland Railway

Yes, as Andrew said great pictures and it certainly sounds like fun clearing the line in the first place. Unfortunately something I doubt I'll ever get to do down here.

Re: TVT - The Skylark That Couldn't

Was going to say, that's an enormous load for a Skylark. I have found that setting back with log bogies is a good test, especially through S curves.

Re: The (Windmill Hill) Welsh Highland Railway

You guys are lucky with your cooler temperatures showing nice steam atmospherics, down here they're far less obvious most of the time.
Nice shots Andrew.

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock

I can only agree with what's already been said, great job on the weathering. Wondering if a piece of cotton thread pulled between the axle box and wheel would ease out anything stuck there, particularly if it's dry.

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock

Yes Andrew, I noticed as the train arrived at Tan y Bwlch that the second grey wagon did look different. Noticed two crew walking either side of the stationary train feeling the axle boxes for heat.

PS heavy rusty train sounds the perfect reason to me.

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock

Andrew, don't know if you were watching Ffestiniog webcams at 9-40 am (your time). A goods train came into Minffordd headed by a small England, with what looked like (to my untrained eye!) two of your recently modelled grey coal wagons in the consist. Also noticed two of the old bolster wagons that ...

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock

The Ffestiniog Van 4 is looking superb as usual Andrew, how you hand cut all those windows so accurately is beyond me.
Oh! and of course it has step boards as well.

Ah!! I'm sure we can help you appreciate the benefits of live steam if we twist your arm a bit. :lol: There are other means of propulsion there.

That's if there was any Jake. I have very strong doubts!
To find the shafts short was one thing, but to discover after I had added 3mm mine were still shorter than Graeme's was a real surprise.
It has finally ended up a runner in the end.

Re: TVT - Dylanesque

I find your gallery web page is a great resource, as there are types of models on there that I'll never see locally and you take a good clear photo. I would second that, I've used Tony's pictures more than once for inspiration (thanks Tony) and I particularly liked the work you did on the weathered...

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway

Thanks Jake, yes much work has had to be done to this shay firstly by Gordon under warranty. Many pipe leaks and fittings to be remade. Then comparing the drive shaft lengths with Graeme's shay I found out mine were much shorter, strange as I had already silver soldered an additional 3mm to mine bec...

Yeah! I reckon the growth this past winter has been at least one and a half times greater than previous years.
