Oh heck - we'll have to batten down the hatches!

The CHLR wishes to report the arrival of a mansized travelling case into its COVID quanrantine siding today. A formal social distanced opening will take place this weekend and the special guest can begin his studies of the CHLR in its current (and historic) various guises - his report will probably ...

Good spot Rik - cracking descripssion

Very good - me next - the inspector is going to have fun at my temporary railway! I plan to divert some of his attention to comment in the old CHLR operation as well - we await his arrival with interest!

Great story - looking forward to part 2

Great model - looks spot on!

Thanks Peter- those two look great examples - with 12v they’ll have plenty of power to call on - yes I was very pleased as it was a few months since I’d run this one and it performed perfectly out of the box - now fancying doing the Ruby http://pdf-models.com/steam-locos/ruby/ 0D66AB5C-68AB-4505-880...

Yeah - nice to get a little run - planning extending temp operations after a successful run today

Thanks guys - it’s taken a while to get it balanced weight wise but it is now running sweet - as you say Tom a great shunting engine for a few sidings - a bit under powered for the main line

Here’s Wellington running smoothly, her rechargeable is still running well

Now fitted with Deltang and has been running on the temp line - video to follow - can crawl VERY slowly

Well the good weather tempted me outside into our yard - it’s a rented house so no perm garden railway but 20 feet is down on a very temp p-way - the inspector when he arrives here will have a field day! 61504E93-9E6D-4F94-9BD3-DCF0193FEAF2.jpeg AE025DCE-52E7-4BF0-B25B-7D8F3C3C464E.jpeg 43D33652-40F...

Just catching up on this one Grant - fantastic work - love the pics, so much atmosphere

Great photos - love ‘em

Yep - nice to be back! Been catching on you BIG loco - looks impressive!

Hi everyone - firstly apologies for my silence - continued delayed house moves and of course now Covid chaos have interrupted my involvement with Garden railways (ie I still don't have one :( )- however I have said I will take my turn of hosting the inspector and have dropped Phillip a line to say t...

If I had a 'Bucket List' this would be one of the first items on it....... one of our esteemed colleagues on the Forum, Rik, very kindly offered to visit the B&UR and shoot some video film. This has now been done in Rik's highly professional style and the finished film is now available on YouTu...

Great pictures Peter- setting the standard we all aspire to!
