Re: Tram engine 'Ellie'

I would love to have a go at building a loco..but don’t have a lathe, surface grinder or a bench mounted drill....the CEO would go mad if i bought any of them :) :)

Must be a loco i could build without any of that stuff. :?:

Re: Vale of Fairway

Thanks Derek, will just have to keep on looking and see what i can find and hopefully they are the correct scale, but if not i am not too bothered, i like the way garden modellers do their own thing and don’t care about all the rivet counters of other scale modellers.... :thumbright:
