Re: HGLW loco tweak
Nice to see another sister to my Mochyn. I couldn't get rechargeable batteries in mine with radio gear and one of your 'greeting card' sound cards, so I plumped for a permanent tool wagon, which I don't think looks out of place. Using a pair of 18650s, it will run all day and then some - I didn't re...

Re: That Car I Keep Alluding To
Keep this coming please Aaron. It's in 'off topic' so it's in the right place

Re: How's this for a near miss
The consequences for the driver's of trains that strike vehicles/people can be life changing, even if the driver survives without injury. And clearing up the remains is very traumatic.

Re: TVT - Dylanesque
That looks the business! And the shade of green works very well with the lining. Lining is something I need to attempt - I can't afford to get my engines done professionally but it would be nice to line them out.

Re: A relaxing watch.
Well, we don't have such ridiculous climbs as Mt. Washington, but our Schafbergbahn doesn't have to hide either. A difference in altitude of 1200 meters (3937 ft) is overcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A849T3Gc1VI It is run with the original steam-powered (very rare) locomotives or with newer...

Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd
Riveting fun for a wet Friday morning:- I have a Plateway Narrow Milk Van in construction (it's in the paint shop now!) which has lots of hinges. Taking comfort from the fact that I have glued rivets to a couple of engines I decided to have a go at the hinges. I ordered some 3mm nail art to do rive...

Re: North East Victoria Railway
Glad you made it home safe n sound. Your green Chilean HC looks as though it's been dropped at some point, looking at the bend in the running plate. I hope you can return it to running order👍🏻 The footplate is made that way, to accommodate the inclined cylinders. Great photos! Ah, understood. Never...

That looks good Phil, and more prototypical for NG I feel.gilfachphil wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:55 pm Rod,
you and Anne will be very welcome.
A picture of the reduced platform height, it's now only a couple of mm above rail height so hope that works. Not finished fixing yet.

Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd
Thanks Phil, The plastic is Stokbord which I got at my local Wynnstay Farmer’s shop. Peter has been over this afternoon and we investigated the platform with some of his locos and rolling stock. I think I will take up your suggestion and reduce the height by half below the plastic top. This should ...
