SM32 foot crossing timber kit

CC3F229D-4E35-455A-BC00-7E511B2315E1.jpeg I’ve photographed a foot crossing constructed from a simple resin kit. In the photo the model has been painted but only put in place for the photo and needs to be fitted properly when I get round to ballasting. My question is, Where did I buy this kit as I ...

A photo good enough to deserve more than one viewing to appreciate it gets my vote. This is such a photo.

Just be grateful that she hasn't noticed those very much larger rocks a bit further up the track that would fill the wagon quicker.

Lovely shot.

Re: Garden Railway Gallery June 2021 - ENTER HERE

I like the crane, is it one of the Pechot type ones from Wrightscale? Your comment about the tractor makes me think of Father Ted... "This one is small, the ones out there are far away"! :P Peter The crane is from Wrightscale. I also bought 2 additional crane chassis and converted them in...

Eng. dept. digger for the Crowfoot Light Railway

Sadly this project was initiated as a result of the passing of a G scale modeller, who I didn’t know. I was offered a box of goodies for a reasonable price to help out. Although I didn’t need most of the stuff I thought I would be able to sell it on at Peterborough and excess profits could perhaps b...

Re: Garden Railway Gallery March 2021

You said ‘silly’ and that is what you got. I may replace this closer to the cut off date. The PAW PATROL on their annual holiday to The Crowfoot Light Railway. This was April last year and I didn’t get buildings and lineside stuff out as this was a quick running session for Granddaughter. 24030666-7...

Your videos are always worth a good look. I'm very jealous of your locos and their control system.

The Kippo models look great and you have finished the paintwork well Andy. For model paint supply I have used 'Goblin Gaming Limited', on-line who sell the range of 'Games Workshop' acrylics, and many others, at the same price as in the shops, postage is additional, but getting to the shops isn't f...

Re: Crowfoot Light Railway 2020 spring clean in progress

Those of you who have been to one of our past open days will know of our lovely golden retriever ‘matelot’. Unfortunately he died on 19th May. In his memory I am renaming ‘Seqoia Falls’ as ‘Matelots Halt’ as this is the closest station on the CLR to where his ashes are buried. Below I’ve gone over t...
