Wish I had the money to go down under for your Spring our Autumn/Winter…but alas it can’t be….

Looks a very interesting line indeed and some nice Locos and Rolling stock too.

I have found HGLW (David) very good to deal with. There have been times when things have gone astray with me too, but David has replaced them and I must say he is most helpful when ever I have asked for his advice, even to the point on recommending another supplier for something else.

That is such a shame Andrew, it was looking to be an layout one could be very proud of…

I am content when I do anything with our line Peter.

Love where you have placed those street light’s also, they all look just perfect….

(Having a bit of an issue with my eyes this morning) not checking on what I have written first……….

Hope your’e feeling better Andrew….

Seen this also today at £95.70 plus postage of £14.97 = £110.67 which isn’t that bad, nice looking bridge though https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRIDGE-LGB-ACCUCRAFT-ROUNDHOUSE-LIVESTEAM-GARDEN-RAILWAY-NARROW-GAUGE-45mm-sm32/153211527833?_trkparms=aid%3D444000%26algo%3DSOI.DEFAULT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D201702...

This person had this up on the 6th Aug, then re-listed until the 20th, the cheeky person had put it up £50…….. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Part-Built-Portable-SM32-Layout-amp-Loco-039-s-amp-Rolling-Stock-/283096530173?item=283096530173&ViewItem=&nma=true&si=99bR30YvQt%252FmiFRUwzA96Pvw3IA...

Just seen this Phillip, not bad but it ended on the 6th, so the seller re-listed it, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Part-Built-Portable-SM32-Layout-amp-Loco-039-s-amp-Rolling-Stock-/283096530173?item=283096530173&ViewItem=&nma=true&si=99bR30YvQt%252FmiFRUwzA96Pvw3IA%253D&orig_cvip=true&a...

For the life of my Andrew I don’t know how I missed your thread…That’s a fantastic build and a simply brilliant idea :idea: Have you got any further with it. It would be great if you have Andrew. Lets see some more please…. I know just like other members, that ideas and other stuff get in the way to...

Love your main colour Peter.

Finished the bridge…It needs a load of fettling done with it. All the top struts and the two long top rails need replacing because they were too rotten to try and fill. Did a bit of filling though on the angled struts, they seem to be ok. The paint work before was a light coffee colour, so I used th...

Wonderfull builds Paul, I love them

There was a bit of controversy Rik wasn’t there, with those guys who thought they were going to win even before the judging started. We didn’t like them very much, Missiden, I think they are called, you know the ones who can’t count, 10 pre-built items instead of 6. The captain was almost crying wit...

I am sorry I didn’t Tom, will go back onto catch up and look again.

That tall guy, Tim Shaw I think is his name does irritate a lot. He was even worse on that car show make over program, a bit like pimp my ride, but it does at least restore the cars. But that guy is the most irritating for me.

I think I am the only one that liked “B” in your first post, I think a change from the norm is fine. Your second post do look alright and I would go with coach “F”. Don’t forget, it’s your line and rolling stock. Peter Butlers tip on doing the overlays first is a great way of not getting over runs o...

Utter cow dung….. :twisted: Just like all the small gauge shows I used to go to, everybody criticising everyone else for doing this and that wrong….. So glad I am now in a far better and friendlier scale…. Long Live 16mm…………. Why don’t the program makers do a reality show on 16mm, then we could show...

One thing though, I have counted 5. Did you already have one made before mate. If you read the first post in the thread, the Y turnout was built first as a test, to determine if the methods I used in HO could be scaled up to Fn3 scale. It was successful, so the others were built as a batch some mon...

Think I will get some then Rik.

Great to hear from you again Grant….Always love your line.
