Try ther 16mm Facebook groups. SOMEONE has got to have a set they can copy for you? Or....could you contact DJB Engineering direct?

Accucraft with TALGARTH and SABRINA only had CAD design drawings, whereas RH had a fully working model of JENNIE to show [and play with]. A binus was that JENNIE and its tender was in the same maroon as the display Bertie, allowing one to match the tender up and take a look. The tender, which will b...

Interesting Phil. Late May Bank Holiday I was at Kingsbury and got bit on my left arm. I was left with a red rash that became very hot, burning even a few days later [but NOT targetlike. Red, growing and even grew outward in a little tail until I was given some antibiotics by my doctor. I did some ...

If it's the same chassis as a Boulton, it'll be a good one. Hook it up with a repainted Newqida coach or scale-modded Upwell Wisbech coach...

Yorkshire Show is this year because Elsecar was somehow doublebooked, but many hoping for a return next year.

Gralyn - repaint it, make it more Anglican and it would be perfect.

Use number three hundred and twenty six for these Newquidas...

Hi Ian,

Thanks for photo - very cringeworthy indeed, yes, a fresh coat and lineup would be a salvation indeed

Might as well! I'd be curious to see the effects of bad paintwork

Strange, but despite the popularity I don't recall seeing any Berties in either of my local area groups. I think Lady Anne is the most popular,followed by Katies. I'll have to start counting them. Ian LA and Katie are both Classic with full running gear and can be fully RC. Suspect this is a factor...

Lovely stuff IanC! I remember when you'd finished the first and showed it off, elsewhere :) I'm currently working on a fifth one, in full Great Western express livery - after two years of promising myself I'd do it, I finally bought a coach, wheels, vents etc at Pboro 2018 and dug out all my surplu...

Tempted to get a wee stationary engine myself just for my amusement...

I could do, couldn't I...?

Fennec isn't finished yet though. Touching up the wheel lining for one, and getting handrails on saddle plus lamp irons for a start...

You certainly get around, which is great if you post photos of your visits, some of the locos are, in fact all of them are absolutely brilliant. :thumbright: The Bertie, does seem to be a very popular engine and the detailing on them are brilliant. Maybe a real possible next live steam, when funds ...

Good to see you again Doug. Great pictures. Memory plays tricks sometimes, but I think I was at Elsecar last year. Or was it the year before? Ian Glad to be back Ian, it's been a while, especially as we'd got lost after the downing of the 'old place'. Good to see you still going strong in the hobby...

That was something I noticed - Penrhyn no.2 was built then sprayed in Halfords primer. It had warped ever so slightly which is a shame. I have to admit, AnDel and SW16 kits have been a more pleasurable build. I had problems in 2013 when the wood totally warped beyond rescue, then 2017 building the L...

Some great photo’s there. There is even a photo of the RH Millie “Susan” with my Anne walking past the stand. It was our 1st show and you are correct, it was a brilliant show. We also are looking forward to Bradford and we can’t wait to go to Llanfair in September. Thanks for looking by :) Small wo...
