But it’s not ugly I tell you!
It’s subtle, elegant, refined…
Thank you both.

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
Thanks for the encouragement — and stuff.
The lengthened, narrow(er) gauge Leader: a bit scruffy now, obviously, but it’s coming along. Will I have to re-landscape the garden to accommodate it? (Or move?)

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Lots of nicely composed and neatly handled shots, as always, especially all those with no glimpse of the real world looming in the background (I do appreciate how difficult it can be to avoid it). Set-dressing with all that ‘snow’ is extraordinarily convincing… 0-6-0 Harthill is very pleasing too. S...

Thanks Rod. Same here. It all works fine on all my Mac / iOS browsers (though there was a time when Chrome and Firefox would have you pulling your hair out). Different browsers on different OS render differently and things can change whenever there’s an update. I’m afraid the Windows and Android kit...

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock
Very neat — and the video too. The ‘cheesy’ music is cool. “…boarded the 2:15 to Dinas Junction. Can ‘Russell’ outrun Rover?” But, after a tense journey, fraught with suspicion of seemingly harmless other passengers, he’ll find the train will have mysteriously terminated at a previously unknown stat...

33_runs_7.gif It goes! I’ve stuck a couple of large lead ingots over the bogies — and it runs pleasingly smoothly. It was time to finish wiring up the 33 and give it a go. Switching it on and fiddling with LocoRemote, you can imagine my surprise when the front, directional lighting glowed bright re...
