I admire your choice Aaron, I knew it would probably be a Ford from the tail light. A friend down here in Melbourne has three of them (at last count!) so have seen plenty of pics, and yours looks superb. Hope you get to enjoy many happy miles in it.

Re: How's this for a near miss
Yeah! saw that this morning, unbelievable.
After the loco passed the speed sign, I thought this must just be an explanation of what happened, but the truck was still to come.

HI Aaron,
Have sent you a PM, in case you haven't seen the icon (I mostly don't notice them).

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
Mitch,
Do you get the trucks to turn it into a 2-6-2, or are they an extra?

Re: Which Track Manufcturer to go with as of Sep 2023
Hi Fred, Don't know how much sun you get in Eastern PA, I have used AMS track down here in Melbourne and found it to have little to no UV resistance. I remember reading of some in USA complaining of the same thing. They may have fixed the problem (I doubt it) but just to give you a heads up. Mine ha...

Hope your not becoming deceptively delusional Graeme!
The bigger cab definitely takes some of the lengthy appearance away from the original, much better looking.

Re: TVT - Start of Steam Operation
The weekend was good for running wasn't it. Managed to run three of mine, and gave all a good sudsy wash after to prepare for more running this winter.

Beautiful work inside and out Andrew and will match your other coaches perfectly.

PS and of course I do like the steps and the wear on them.

Re: TVT - Mt Delusion O&K
Glad the paint worked out, looks nice. Of course you're far more patient than I am, I'd be running it round the layout to dry it!!
I never realised how much surface area there is to paint on a paddler, acres and acres and in this weather.

Yes, as Andrew said great pictures and it certainly sounds like fun clearing the line in the first place. Unfortunately something I doubt I'll ever get to do down here.

Re: TVT - The Skylark That Couldn't
Was going to say, that's an enormous load for a Skylark. I have found that setting back with log bogies is a good test, especially through S curves.

You guys are lucky with your cooler temperatures showing nice steam atmospherics, down here they're far less obvious most of the time.
Nice shots Andrew.

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock
I can only agree with what's already been said, great job on the weathering. Wondering if a piece of cotton thread pulled between the axle box and wheel would ease out anything stuck there, particularly if it's dry.
