So you could add sandboxes that span the boiler like the L&B. Or you could add the brake gear and westinghouse? Full footplate seems quite popular at the moment with Locoworks doing the parts. We do have "spare" vac pipes from brandbright that I could paint up and mount. I've seen Loc...

Hi all. I've had my Lady since 2007, and it's a beautiful thing (as are all Lady Annes these days), but now that my Katie has been completely rebuilt, it looks odd compared to them... Any ideas for mods anyone? :) ./myff/1310311/LVLR_2008_Forest_Lady_halt.jpg In 2008, as the "new engine" a...

^^ This contains many Double headers. Some manual, some radio, some both.
Some of them are quite impressive.
Cheers.

Does anyone know the actual original colours of the carriages, brakevan and Corris Railway waggons (not private ones)? The Talyllyn and Corris carriages currently being used are apparently in original livery (brown), but the Theodore Press drawings book states that it is deep maroon. The same with t...

Sorry about the quality, it's raining in Gloucester so I had to find a good-ish pic of mine.


Painted in Anitas acrylic paints you get from Hobbycraft (wine and black) and the whitemetal was simply painted in humbrol "brass"

Dads latest project, 2 are currently at paint so he started this one.

That particular locomotive would be a "Climax", would it not? It's a difficult engine to categorise into a specific "type". ./myff/1290507/vulcan.gif (http://users.powernet.co.uk/hamilton/) It's based on 1 of 5 proposed Garratt types for the Rimutaka Incline in New Zealand. The ...

Hoping I can make it this Wednesday but may have to work again. Looks like it may be a little damp again anyway! We'll hopefully see you on Wednesday! :) And for everyone who wants to see more small Garratts: ./myff/1290258/rsz_lvlr_nb2007_nbloco.jpg ./myff/1290259/rsz_lvlrpercent202009percent20mot...

Thanks everyone! :) It had run several times on Ttarrag shed, and you always get afew heads being turned from it. ;) I must admit I assumed the three Garratts we saw running last week was the sum total of your articulateds... it would appear I was wrong We currently have 7 articulates, one is for sa...

Please - post old pictures! At the moment alot of the older pictures need scanning, but here are some of them together with some from 2 years ago. ./myff/1289639/LVLR%252096-02%2520Rachel%2520Halt%2520Garratt.jpg Railway one in SAR black.

My tiny Garratt, made by my dad when I was 7, was repaired yesturday after a long term chassis and linkage problem (crank pins coming loose ect...). When there was a break in the weather today, she came out for a test run after new crank pins had been fitted, she now runs well and after a year of ab...

Swift Sixteen are amazingly beautiful and quirky! No other manufacturer can capture it's style!
Recommend them to everyone

Mountaineer looks LOVELY! I have to admit, I wasn't expecting the "Beast" (FR term) to be made by Roundhouse, but a lovely model nether the less.
Charles looks ALOT better, I'm sure Roundhouse will make less of a loss by only making 1 configuration.

Check the price lists.......

It isn't on the download file, but on the website I do see an engine that hasn't been there in awhile

Many people have speculated the Dylan (Silver Lady style) and the Carrie/Pooter on the Facebook page.

There will also be another little surprise with the return of an old friend.....

-From Roundhouse on facebook.
Let the speculation begin!

Ah I see!
Afew of our engines are also in need of a rebuild, so we usually only use 5 engines atm...

Thank you everyone!
I resized the pics, they're on the Railways and Layouts page.

I won't be bringing a loco Sunday so I'll make sure I bring a camera instead

Why no engine?

Today was a nice day, and because the buildings have started to be placed out, I thought I'd take some pictures of the 1st test run. ./myff/1280144/rsz_002.jpg ./myff/1280188/rsz_11003.jpg ./myff/1280170/rsz_005.jpg ./myff/1280171/rsz_006.jpg ./myff/1280172/rsz_007.jpg ./myff/1280174/rsz_008.jpg ./m...

Thank you!
I shall look at modifying them right now!
