Re: Disasters, Out-takes, Accidents, Fails etc.
No pictures, but my Lady Anne has had a badly bent buffer beam when it derailed and hit a very substantial bridge support. It also suffered a dent, since removed in the tank side when it fell from an elevated section of a friend's railway.

Re: Another Wild Rose Project
Steve, I am not an engineer, I haven't worked in, or for, industry. It doesn't stop me from following your threads and builds with interest. I doubt I will ever own a lathe, pillar drill or any other type of engineering machinery but there are still things I can learn and I enjoy seeing something co...

Re: Merlins Castle Line
A cracking purchase. A most handsome loco. Nice colour too. To restore or preserve? A vexing question indeed.

Re: More IP Coaches
Are they going to be red like the others? Yes, the intention is for them to be in the same livery as my existing two coaches. I've got the paint ready. Any difference will be down to a different paint batch although the new batch is from the same source so I'm not expecting any differences. I can't...

Re: More IP Coaches
The main visible changes are the roofs and vacuum pipes, except on the right hand coach which has had handles rails and step boards added.steamgeorge wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 8:27 pm They are looking much smarter now, I'm looking forward to seeing them completed

Re: DMLR - Photo Day
Impressed also with your camera techniques. Have you got a fancy camera which enables you to adjust the depth of field (eg through aperture settings?) or does your camera have an auto 'large scale models' setting? :) Rik Rik, The way to get a good depth of field is to use a tripod to mount the came...

More IP Coaches
Steamgeorge (Wadebridge Light Railway) recently sold me three partly completed IP Coaches. These were from the long since discontinued Roundhouse sized range. I already had two, and wanted more to make a longer rake. The coaches have entered the carriage and wagon works for finishing off. The work s...

Re: The Charnwood Forest Light Railway
Interesting stuff. I'm tempted to use breeze blocks for my railway when (if) I get a round tuit. I did consider filcris or recycled plastics for durability. I guess the solution is to leave plenty of large expansion gaps if expansion and contraction proves to be the issue?

Re: Two Dogs Railway
Dwayne,
Glad you're pressing on with your railway. I've always enjoyed your posts. Sorry to hear of your marital issues. I do sympathise. Glad you've both been able to move on.
