I really like the overgrown track work, though I hope no one lives in that grounded van! More nice shots, and I second BertieB about that station building, just love the exposed framework inside.

Really like that first shot. The weathering on that loco looks so typical.

Nice one Graeme, Borun and train look very typical. Seems you got a good flat finish on the dogbox.

Great detailing Aaron, particularly like the depression in the centre of the coal load, as opposed to the full to the brim look.

Re: TVT - Ezard's Rail motor
Those front wheels look so typically timber tram with their tread width, I suppose exaggerated by their small diameter. So where's the hessian bag?

Re: "Calloway", a Roundhouse Bundaberg Fowler Rebuild
Hi Ted,
The injector is SOFT soldered together in one go, using the tiniest amount of solder. (actually too much in this case!). I silver solder most of my boat fittings as strength is generally a requirement.
My apologies to Aaron also.

Re: "Calloway", a Roundhouse Bundaberg Fowler Rebuild
Hi Ted, I'm guessing that any problems one might have making these small items, really comes down to soldering. To go with the injector above, cutting the various pieces of K&S tube should be fairly straight forward ( I use a jewellers piecing saw, an aquired taste! ) Filing the "U" sh...

As Philip said, a very open and airy design. Lovely work as usual Rik. It is certainly a very long vehicle to be on six wheels!

I can only echo what others have said, a superb series of builds. Your first introduction to garden railways is off to a very good start.
