Try Narrow Planet http://www.narrowplanet.co.uk/ who will design to your style / specification but you'll have to find the umlaut on your keyboard when you email him...........

Narrow Planet will be down for a month. I have a Zillertal (well a customers that never collected), The beck valve gear wears very quickly. This one will just about run in reverse and will not run forward due to the huge wear on the valve gear and axles. After much searching the only solution to th...

TommyDodd and I were the only two with nametags at the meet yesterday! I had a great time designing ours, so if anyone would like one you just need to find me a suitable small image (your avatar if you'd like) and tell me the name of your line and what colour you want your name to be and I can whip ...

And she needs a name. I'm considering Rotkopf Mädchen if I can order a nameplate with an umlaut from somewhere... What does that mean?

Anyone own one of these? Picked one up on the M2M stand yesterday and gave her her first steaming last night....it's a little sluggish and seems to prefer being run backwards! I'll get video up soon. Opinions on what we need to look at to get it running smoother are always welcome! And she needs a n...

I came away with a new loco......2 plants....a cutting mat....and a syringe.

Tim bought 1 book and 2 DVDs.

...and this is supposed to be *his* hobby!

My response to all of this is: Unfortunately, NWAG members will be having steamups at this time of the year for at least the next two years, as the Association has a 3 - year deal with Peterborough. It is very difficult to find ANY venue big enough to accommodate the Show - the only bigger one woul...

Yes. Dave B's line

How dare someone set it on fire!!!

So sorry we missed today. Tim had to work a 12-hour shift, so I spent my morning at North Scarle (7 1/4 & 5").

Right Language, wrong country

I have been advised to say "getting much warmer" (*I* got it straight away...and no, TommyDodd didn't tell me!)

(followed by me exclaiming "WHY Do i know this stuff?!?!?!")

I think this one is my favourite out of all that I took...

I've got the few seconds of Amazon running around it! LOL

I think we've already done the bulk of our purchases between buying the coaches from MDLR and picking up various bits at the Lincoln show and NGN, but I'm sure we'll find something! I think the past two years I've actually picked up supplies for my other two hobbies (beading* and scrapbooking) as th...

facebook won't let me comment on the pics!

MDLR, you give me advice over the phone, and then I forget.

What was your suggestion for the roof?

"Ew, it got on my hand." "Good thing you're wearing protection."

You're much better off with a sloppy mix (if you'll pardon the expression) - they may take a little longer to dry off but you can guarantee that it'll flow into all the detail. The same applies when  you cast window frames, doors and other details from car filler - keep it sloppy! The ones that wer...

Keep on dropping it on the bench from about 2" off - you'll get rid of the bubbles that way...................... Your trick worked! It's just that as we were trying to work out the measurements of cement/water it kept getting too thick to work with and we almost ruined the mixing pot at one p...
