Re: Making points.

Re: Making points.
Hi Rik, That is very kind of you but I am not very good with computers so not sure if they would be useful. But if it isn't too much trouble for you I will have a try. I have read Garden Railways but never subscribed, I have met Marc Horovitz a few times who was and still might be its editor. Even c...

Re: What can be done with a couple of Paste Tables.
Hi Rik, Are the locos powered off the shelf or more of your clever mods? They are modified children's toys mostly bought in charity shops for a couple of pounds. The ones I mostly use were marketed by a company known as 'Golden Bear' in Telford; I believe they were discontinued some years ago. They ...

Some Narrow Gauge and Garden Railways in Wales 1997.
Hi, I have been copying some more of the many old videos that I made many years ago. In 1997 a friend had been employed as a tour guide for 14 Americans visiting railways and garden railways in the UK. Unfortunately at the last minute the assistant tour guide fell ill and I was asked if I would like...

Re: A boiler for Ellie.
Hi George,
They are staple shaped heat exchanging rods made from 2 mm solid copper when straight these are often referred to as hedgehog pins. They increase the heating area of pot boilers and are well worth the effort in fitting.
Take care Tony.

Hi Simon, Good to hear from you. Gaynor and I at the last minute were asked to escort 14 American tourists on a coach tour of some of the Garden Railways and narrow gauge railways of Wales, we could have done with a couple of Border Collies but that is another story. For many years I had used cine a...

Alcoholic Mamod Bashing!
Hi,
Even after almost a year of lock downs I never thought I would tire of playing in my shed. So for a bit of a change I have been going through old photographs and video and attempting to copy those that I thought might be found interesting.
