One way to find out Peter! Some dry days forecast soon so we could have a running session. Phil Those coaches look terrific Phil, as does the platform. To minimise loading gauge issues, I made all my platforms so that they are level with the tops of the rails. I've not had a visitor yet whose stock...

Glad you made it home safe n sound. Your green Chilean HC looks as though it's been dropped at some point, looking at the bend in the running plate. I hope you can return it to running order

Quiet location with occasional traffic.

I am interested in making some buildings for my SM32 layout using the Jig Stones method. Since the original moulds seem to now be as rare as the proverbial 'Hens Teeth' I thought that I may be able to make my own from silicon casting rubber. Only one problem; I've never actually seen the jig stones...

Thank you Phil, that is most useful and I can work around it I'm sure. I still have little understanding of the fittings but as long as it looks purposeful I will be happy. That's exactly the approach I've taken with my tram engine cab. When I'm back home I will try and get some pictures together. ...

Well deserved win Bertie.

Lovely looking coaches. Good work.

I'll be very interested in the cab detailing when you start that. It will either look like a children's toy or Concorde.... I need some guidance I think! I've used a YouTube video for guidance, in particular this one https://youtu.be/5hgtrt0-asY?si=SGhL__hG5lBKLQ-E which has nice cab views. Plenty ...

You certainly come up with some ingenious solutions to the problems that modelling throws our way. I'm looking forward to the next instalment

Oops!
Hopefully you will get replacement parts, but if not it shouldn't be too difficult to make your own. Fingers crossed

There are grub screws on the wheel bushes, same as your Leader.

Thanks for the heads up on this Philip. I have recently started to have some issues with my TX22, whereby control of my Boulton locomotive almost appears to be suffering from interference. I need to do more testing using other locomotives on the same TX first to see where the problem may lie.

That won't cover your lorry though!

That is fantastic, and rounded off my breakfast nicely.

Again, it's the other way around, it's garden train related, but has a real model. https://www.mylargescale.com/threads/mt-washington-cog-rr-build.90900/ in Action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xeb2xgGG-o Also very worth seeing :shock: Greetings from Austria, Gerald ;) Thanks Gerald, That is a ...

I can't offer any help, but look forward to hearing from 'someone who knows'.
Fantastic photo, by the way. It almost looks like a winking face with that offset hooded window.

Very nicely-filmed. I wonder why the tender wheelset has a cog on it's axle.. I think it's a third connection to the rack. Obviously the tender and loco are a set and presumably the weight of the tender (especially when loaded) helps with adhesion on those ridiculously steep parts! EDITED to add: D...

Looking good Aaron. I'm sure you'll make an excellent job of it whichever spec/colour you opt for, let alone the weathering opportunities.

Good to see you back and engaged with 16mm again. And that is a brilliant looking baby G. I'm sure Malcolm will be pleased that he can be sure that it will be cherished by you.
