Brine tank looks good! I made a 3D printed brine tank a while back, need to dig it out and finish it!
The prototype is currently under restoration on the Ffestiniog.

Re: Avonside Heisler loco info?
Hi Tom, Hope your back is getting better. I sympathise as my mother suffered back problems on and off for many years. At times it was very debilitating. I'm glad you have ordered the Peter Angus book. It's full of information both full size and 16mm model form and the section on Avonside Heislers i...

Re: Internet "forums" are a thing of the past
I would say that forums are gradually improving as more younger people are leaving social media. I currently have no social media (along with my mates) but I do regularly use forums as a reliable source of information. Despite the negative association of forum sites such as 4chan and Reddit, a lot o...

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock
As requested. The two slate waggons are a Lineside Hut followed by a Binnie. These are representing the NWNGR first generation slate waggons (apparently "almost identical to the FR type"). The bolster set are modified from a Lineside Hut kit to represent the NWNGR bolster waggons. All the ...

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock
I do like the red you use Andrew. I saw Bachmann painted one of their 009 WD wagons in "WHR red". Is there any references on the WHR liveries? I would like to use red for the Swift Sixteen D wagon but ideally would like a reference to this livery actually existing.

FR Mountaineer
Hi all,
A new website has been discovered for the FR Mountaineer project.

Re: Full size railway reference and picture thread

For those that don't know, this is an African themed train with unusual carriages. We managed to get som...

Hi all, After a quick discussion on the suggestion board, I'm going to be starting a new thread for use by forum members to post their pictures and sources of information regarding full size railways. This will enable other members to use them for "inspiration" with their own modelling. Pl...

Does 124 have louvres? Been a while since I've seen it in the flesh.

IP Engineering Jessie rebuild
So I've recently acquired an IP Jessie diesel from the interweb, seems complete although it's apparently got glued wheels (45mm) which will need modifying and the general finish is a bit rough but will do for now. Haven't had a chance to test it yet but the wiring seems to be all connected up, will ...

Re: First Steam Loco
Millie is the best option. We've had several and a few members have started with Millie's and they are still their favourites. You get a basic engine which can be very customisable with various bits from Roundhouse (cab, some/GWR bonnet). Edrigs are also a good option although they are much bigger t...
