Those are wonderful, well done! And I thought you said you were slow - you're making fantastic progress. I've not even tried curved windows (actually that's not true, but it's painful to talk about...), and the lining's great too. The complete rake's going to be a fine sight... Thanks for posting yo...

Sure enough, I did get a second one of these this morning, along with a pair of PVMR 3 ton slate waggons. Got something to be getting on with anyway Well those 4 are going to make an unusual train... Like the bogie van, very nice! Watch out for the clearance between floor and wheels on the 3 ton sl...

I'm planning a model of Louisa but trying to get the efficiency required has been proving tricky... That is until someone suggested a single oscillator between the frames. As the most it will ever be pulling is 5 slate wagons it should run fine. Sorry to be dim, but what (who?) is Louisa? I'm intri...

Very nice indeed! I can see why you'd be tempted to try and adding something to replicate very work paint though, just to see if it's poossible - maybe you could try on just one? Can't think how you'd do it, very difficult to improve on the look you've got there. Did you use iron filing-type rusting...

I'm guessing it's not the sort of thing you're thinking of, but my single-cylindered geared Regner Konrad is fantastic. OK, it looks a little odd (Vincent is slightly more conventional), but it's powerful, contolable and runs beautifully. If anything I plan to make mine look odder - big headlamps (f...

Hello, I used the reed type stuff on my old line, nailed into the concrete blocks with horseshoe nails. Here it is when new: http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/08/94/56009408/photos/The%20IP%20diesel%20escapes%20from%20the%20yard.JPG I was pretty pleased with it, especially once the sticks had mellowed...

A useful thread, thank you, I'll be adding poles at some point myself... Thought I recalled seeing something about making poles somewhere and just found it - here's a step-by-step guide! http://gardenrailwayrealism.pbworks.com/w/page/13270197/Telegraph%20poles Putting them in a tube seems a good tip...

I have a half formed plan to add a Bertie to the Millie that already trundles around on the CLR, but I never seem to have the folding stuff in sufficient quantities for long enough for it to happen. Peter in AZ All you need to do is have twins. I persuaded my wife of the need for a Bertie while she...
