When do you all meet at Drybrook by the way?

Monday's and Friday's, 7:30 till 11ish. You've been before haven't you?

Ooo Dan please tell! By the way how much are the 0-4-0 chassis; I would like a go at a kit at some stage (once work and HNC calms down)... I'll be starting another thread shortly....... Here's the info on the chassis, plus a price: http://www.derails.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&filter...

The first Bundaberg Fowler has arrived here at Derails - it's a 'British' version, black frames and without the spark arrestor, as I knew not everyone would want a colonial looking engine! It's also got R/C. Here are some pictures taken on my Samsung, we have another one (Maroon, black frames, with ...

Looking good

If its 45mm the back to backs should be just over 40mm if I'm correct supposed to be about 4/5mm clearance to allow for tight curves and jolts, etc

EDIT: Grayln beat me to it by a minute!

Nice job that

Not a bad looking loco, the valve gear looks very chunky, which I like! Look forward to seeing more of her :-)

I may take you up on that sometime Danny. The crossing was the one immediately adjacent to your signal box at Lydney. I think it was when the by-pass was built. Our contract was with GCC if I remember correctly. Yeah carry on, best thing to do is give us a couple of months notice so I don't book my...

Looks good Danny! How's the Speech house road extension coming? Interestingly enough, last week we had a discussion about the Wye valley line and the we concluded that the rest should be rebuilt as 2' gauge; using the NGG13/16s and NG15 currently at the Exmoor Steam Center! The answer to that is ho...

Hi all, Thought some of you might be interested in some of the photos from the Dean Forest Railway's biggest gala of that last 15 years! Four visiting locos meant that we were in for a good ride, and today I managed to get cover for the last two hours to escape on go on a photo hunt - being staff I ...

Danny, most of us in the Traffic Departmen t would see moving on to the loco department as a demotion! :shock: I've never been interested in getting involved in footplate work - I spent enough time in that location as a Guard, Movements Inspector and Pilotman to have had my fill and more! Haha yeah...

I vounteer at the Dean Forest Railway, Ticket inspector, Crossing Keeper, Guard, that sort of thing, hoping to move up to loco crew later on this year.

Then Oop's  the locomotive in steam ran out of track!

Someone going a bit fast? Must have been ribbed solid in the beet tent that night!

Great pics Doug

If its joystick stuff your looking for (like model aeroplane controllers) then I use Planet equipment, its not the cheapest 2.4ghz gear you can buy but its not the most expensive - its also good quality.

Excellent thanks very much for that Dan, very useful.

Thanks all for the responses. Much appreciated. I'm usually okay on this sort of stuff but this question threw me slightly so I promised I would research the matter. So (and Mike please tell me if its not okay to utilise your image), as far as I can see (and DLRdan has mentioned it above), a Goodall...

Hi all, I have a customer that would like a Roundhouse Billy but would also like a water top up valve - the engine obviously does not come with one however does anyone have one fitted/know someone that has one fitted and how it was done? I would guess you'd need to fit a water gauge too? Any help ap...

Nice start!
