Re: Wellington arrives at CHLR

Thanks Peter- those two look great examples - with 12v they’ll have plenty of power to call on - yes I was very pleased as it was a few months since I’d run this one and it performed perfectly out of the box - now fancying doing the Ruby http://pdf-models.com/steam-locos/ruby/ 0D66AB5C-68AB-4505-880...

Re: New quarry engine

Re: Welcome to the CHLR

Well the good weather tempted me outside into our yard - it’s a rented house so no perm garden railway but 20 feet is down on a very temp p-way - the inspector when he arrives here will have a field day! 61504E93-9E6D-4F94-9BD3-DCF0193FEAF2.jpeg AE025DCE-52E7-4BF0-B25B-7D8F3C3C464E.jpeg 43D33652-40F...
