Just catching up Jim .......very good! - I particularly like the sheep and humans sharing the railbus and the sheep coming off worst!

Cheers Tom - thats a kind offer -but I'm getting the guy who fitted it to have a look as I'm passing on one of my trips upt'north as it maybe just something daft I've done - if the problem continues, I'll give you a shout

Thanks

Yes it does Tom - nice and slow and that video is based on manual control as the servo is playing up - just shows how effective it can be - does need an oil though!

Cheers for todays messages of encouragement - all very welcome Yes The Yorkshire Group is very active and has a sub group near where I'm hoping to live (Huddersfield area) so that will be bonus - will miss my Kent contacts though! Rik - yes the wasps were very active around the maturing grapes - tak...

Thanks Peter & Jim - sure it will all work out...........eventually

Cheers Tom - my hope is that my next line will be a lot more visitor loco friendly (ie have wider clearances) so who knows you may make it to CHLRv2!

I hope the move goes well and that a new line makes an appearance as soon as you're settled back in the homeland. I look forward to the commencement of the 'Batter Pudding Special' service!

Cheers - yes I think I'll need a new headboard - The Yorkshire Pudding

Hi everyone - you'll have noticed I've been a bit quiet on here recently - the reason is that we've decided to relocate back to Yorkshire (numerous family reasons) from Kent AND around the same time i was made redundant from work - add to that a mum with Alzheimers and things have been a bit hectic ...

Great scene Rik!

Great video - some super trains and stock and some great editing there!

Welcome aboard - totally agree with all the points above - the 16mm society handbook is great but meeting people locally via the groups is a great way to learn so much more

And I also would recommend Rik's blog - it shows how a line can develop and Rik is brilliant at explaining how he does things!

Thats me diving into the back of the shed tomorrow to see if I still have my old camo netting!

Agree, a really helpful article. Particularly pleased that the 16mm Assoc is prepared to publish articles showing battery powered steam outline locos. I might have a go with an article about one of my builds. Rik Rik - you definitely should - also the 16mm SMT magazine and the Garden Rail magazine ...

Beautiful!

Full write up now available at the 16mm Society website - Tom, you were right, they were interested in it as model of the month! https://www.16mm.org.uk/2018/07/01/meteor-a-steam-outline-loco-for-the-chlr/ PS - since writing that I have now fitted deltang which has greatly improved the controllabili...

Just like the real thing, you are deploying pragmatic solutions - hence they look natural and fit into the overall appearance

Rik, HGLW do crates, and will, I believe, personalise them. There is also Red Star SPC on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RedStarSPC Thanks Phil Rik Trenarren also do them - can vouch for their suitcases and have a long term plan for some fruit workings on my line too! https://www.trenarrenmodels...

Lovely crane!

A bit of chain and a hook and you are sorted

The low relief buildings are they kits? The main station building is certainly a Modeltown resin kit, but looking at their website they don't seem to do the low relief versions anymore? Hi - it was their wrinkly tin station kit built as two halves - the front and the back are the same so lend thems...

What a great resource - may tempt me into some scratch building!
