I generally search ebay daily for 'SM32' so if this isnt in title or description there may be a few bits I miss! So if people do list anyhing on here of interest that would be great! Not seen the edrig. Might have to have a looky at it! Also, T&M models pretty much have permanant listings of the...

You at home cecil? or do you have access while elsewhere. Probably pop round on wed to do some work on t'box, so leave me instructions of what needs doing!

thought i was stood next to cecil!

Sorry, i had to say edrig as my mamod does my head in! It is so flamin unreliable! One day it will pull a decent length train for ages, others it won't pulll the skin off a rice puddin'! all the edrigs I have seen have run well consistently! That being said, I don't want an edrig! My sights are much...

Who is eric? does he live in morecambe?

Cool, have you seen the battles they have at Peasholm Park in Scarborough, with the 30ft long boats with blokes in them? Ruddy fantastic, there is a video of YouTube, but it doesn't convey the excitment and coolness of being there. Have I? lol! Being from Scarborough (until a few years ago) I have ...

HI laalratty, just want to say a big thank you for a great afternoon on the Afonglas and Nant Llywyd Rly! Look forward to seeing some of your pics and i'm sure cecil and I will be posting some in due course. After a great deal of worry about the gradients, I think they really make the line very inte...

Hey cecil, you forgot the mad burger flipper coming down to the Afonglas and Nant Llywydd Rly also! How level is the line ratty? I'm prob bringing my mamod! <-----------------This One---------------------- She has a welsh name, and this is the first time she'll have run on a rly with a welsh name si...

Perhaps pulling the skin off a rice pudding might be the ultimate challenge for an Accucraft Garratt! Back on topic however, I would have to agree that the Lady Anne does seem to be the loco of choice! It's certainly on my shopping list, even if I will have to buy it in stages and build from a kit! ...

there was one show we watched when was living in swansea in 2003/4 which realy made us laugh. trying to think of it now it was a wesh family sitcom will get back to you on that memory is slipping lol Was it 'high hopes'? Just googled welsh sitcom and it was one of the programmes that came up, and i...

Just looked at the stats at the bottom of the page. The most users ever online was this evening at 20:47 (actually 19:47 in the UK). I guess the forums are growing!

I've just been looking at the pics of your prototypes elsewhere in the forums. Very Nice!

With regard to blown mamod sight glasses, I have had a few over the last few years! However, a good idea is when they do go, don't rplace them with standard mamod loco sight glasses, get the traction engine sight glsses and round off the corners so they fit. They are thicker and will last longer! Ma...

Hi. Since I only own Mamods and a Jane, and my line uses sharp mamod track, derailments are common on my line. One of the most serious crashes involving one of my engines happened on a line in Carlisle, when one of my mamods ran full speed into the front of a stationary Mamod. Mine survived without...

I wouldn't necessarily say it started with Big Big Trains, but I did have a couple of the sets that I used to play with on the patio when I was little! Around about my 7th Xmas (or it could have been a few years later), I was introduced to live steam. My Uncle (PTLRCecil's dad) bought me a Mamod Tra...
