An international forum for garden railway modellers in all scales and gauges. It is free to join and is funded through voluntary contributions by its members. Many thanks to all those who keep it going.
I haven't added to this thread since mid February and failed to notice the viewing numbers have now shot over the one million mark, and then some! It is hard to believe it has proved so popular and I have to say a huge thank you to each and every person who has followed this thread and made it such ...
Aha! I thought you may have gone this way with it... https://topstastic.blogspot.com/2023/05/mcewan-pratt-petrol-locomotives-for.html [media]https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIldNF5AgoYuP_wTTfuG2bbstA8evCMydlEt0RbDIXG7-Dqs4nF0ykHvD1P02-13z-oAF6F1U7H1fHl99gqTSY90GJLtPvWva81...
C'mon guys, your Forum needs you! These magazines are nearly thirty years old and still in good condition. Certainly too good to throw away.

A truly incredible story of ambition and dedication. You can't begin to imagine how impressed I am with what you have achieved. I have read every word of your journey and, despite not understanding car mechanics, have thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I'm envious of the F-100 Pick-up model truck too.
Continuing with the build, I found a motor with attached gearbox in my 'useful' collection and, to my delight, the axle fitted the second set of wheels.... 100_0765.JPG More modification (AKA destruction) of the underside soon followed in order to sink the motor inside the body shell. Fortunately, t...

The yellow and white one appears to be a smaller scale and not to be confused with the die cast, Road Signature manufacture. 1:18 is the nearest to our 16mm/ft. scale.
Constantly thinking about what to do next my eyes gazed upon an item which I have shown in the past. This is something I decided not to modify, but time has a habit of changing things and so I set about it as my latest project....

For various reasons (excuses) I have been unable to give you the final images of the Kerr Stuart built, Hunslet overhauled loco, which now runs as Edward Thomas on the Talyllyn Railway. The Boot Lane Works kit enables the builder to choose which version to make as parts are included for both. As pre...
