I hope you manage to get a photo or two of the recent supernova that has come to light in the norther hemisphere if you get the chance!

I thought you also liked cabbing locos as well?

No where near the same standard's as Gremlin's photos however I thought I'd share this photo of Jupiter I got last night with 4 moons visible!

My OCD is running overtime at that last photo...

What a picture! :love10: How long did you have to wait for that? Cheers! About 40 mins. I live about 1/2 mile from the tunnel that the line goes through, so I got a picture of it heading to Bleanau from the other portal, and decided to get another picture from the other side on it's return! :) I lo...

They say pictures say at 1000 words, so this lot should be rather conclusive :lol: http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af347/DolwyddelanLightRail/IMG_8464-Copy_zps355735f8.jpg http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af347/DolwyddelanLightRail/IMG_0968_zps3d77d969.jpg http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/...

First offs, I have to apologise for the lateness of getting this off the ground, I've had to prioritise time with regards to Uni-work which I had a backlog of due to breaking my jaw earlier to December! Well done to Philipy who managed to win with his excellent entry in the December 2013 Season, who...

Other way round.

Orr eck, shows what I know!

If its a dry day, then I believe 12 is the "official" maximum (although the real limit is the length of the run round loop at Caernafon, which limits train lengths to 10 coaches) but I think they could possibly manage 14 or 15, however a damp, leafy, Autumn day and as has been mentioned y...

Hmm...Lyd in black...

I wonder if the model will begin to play as many musical tunes as the full scale "model"?

The FR has not yet reached its peak, that it wants to achieve like other railways have done so already. Th TR, The VOR etc. The FR still has to rebuild all the England Locos and a rake of all the types of quarrymans coaches plus a lot lot more. In achieving this yes it has to promote itself and put...

Have to say it was fine weather everytime I went that way!

Any space to fit a pre-heater? There's quite a few preserved locos around now with them, and they are seeing easier starting, less smoke on start-up, etc. Plenty of space inside for a preheat of some form, which is on the "to do" list one day when the powercar is more operational (and mor...

I thought I'd share this vid for the amusement, 41001 cold starting after 2 months of hibernation <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/UYZN5qGR2lw?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullS...

Handbags away Dan & Chris

Merry New Year and all that!

Peter L is right, if someone views the thread multiple times each visit is a "view", of which about 20 of those are probably from me! :lol: However, it seems philipy has won with a deserving photo! I shall send a PM soon. Sorry about the slight delay in mentioning anything on here, I may h...

Only a few more days to get your votes in! Looks like philipy has a good chance at this rate!

Ah..one of those subject that doesn't actually teach you (or if it does, just skims the surface) the actual meaning of the subject. GCSE "art" got me going with cameras, however it never actually taught me how to use it and more in researching into others and copying their ideas which wasn...
