i think a lunatic mixed gauge layout would look brilliant, could get some really crazy point work on the go. dual gauge single slip?

for me it would always be 32mm for 16mm and 45 for 7/8s .

I am hoping it will hold up with a good covering of wet rot hardner. I have ordered your roofing material and i will let you know how it goes. Love the detail on your line by the way peter

the stone effect is exterior filler, engrave with a dremel type multi tool. you can carve while still green but i prefer to do it when dry, to get a better edge. i got the idea from 'the art of garden railways, reaching for realism' by ian stock; Peter do you cut that into to individual slate or mou...

'Dorsert born and bread, strong in arm and good in bed' is the local saying down this way. :D ./myff/1912761/20635598429_74e8b14d4d_z.jpg More progress on the engine shed, just need to carve the other two walls and plaster the inside, then it well be a good coot of wet root hardener to weather proof...

thanks alan, complete setup now comes in at 27 so still a bargain!

couple other questions if you don't mind, its is definitely reversible, and did you find a worm gear arrangement the fits the motor OK? I'm atm thinking i only need the esc anyway and no the motor

thanks

'making the best of a bad job' is more me i think.

Has anyone got any advice on two things, 1) working lever frames and 2) a regner Vincent ?( run time etc )

James good luck making sginals, i need two for mine and keep putting off. However i just read riks post and they look great. Might give it a go.

A few pictures from recent workings, the home made Oscillating quarry hunslet is on a RWM Janet Chassis. The yard area is really starting to look the part. The engine shed is having all of its stone carved atm. And wild rose chassis is coming along nicely, the isibutu was sold as could not do the cu...
