Wonderful piece of engineering

Roundhouse do a two part whitemetal kit (you just have to glue the handle onto the lamp, it's very easy, even I can do it!).

Here's some info: http://www.derails.co.uk/index.php?rout ... ct_id=1411

Lovley looking diesel, and I'm especially liking those buffer castings keep it up!

Good news anyway. I love Brandbright kits.

Same! I've always used them for rolling stock parts too so I can resupply soon! :-)

We've been in contact with them recently in regard to stocking their items, and the machine issue is indeed ongoing.

When do you all meet at Drybrook by the way?

Monday's and Friday's, 7:30 till 11ish. You've been before haven't you?

Ooo Dan please tell! By the way how much are the 0-4-0 chassis; I would like a go at a kit at some stage (once work and HNC calms down)... I'll be starting another thread shortly....... Here's the info on the chassis, plus a price: http://www.derails.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&filter...

The first Bundaberg Fowler has arrived here at Derails - it's a 'British' version, black frames and without the spark arrestor, as I knew not everyone would want a colonial looking engine! It's also got R/C. Here are some pictures taken on my Samsung, we have another one (Maroon, black frames, with ...

Looking good

If its 45mm the back to backs should be just over 40mm if I'm correct supposed to be about 4/5mm clearance to allow for tight curves and jolts, etc

EDIT: Grayln beat me to it by a minute!

Nice job that

Not a bad looking loco, the valve gear looks very chunky, which I like! Look forward to seeing more of her :-)

I may take you up on that sometime Danny. The crossing was the one immediately adjacent to your signal box at Lydney. I think it was when the by-pass was built. Our contract was with GCC if I remember correctly. Yeah carry on, best thing to do is give us a couple of months notice so I don't book my...

Looks good Danny! How's the Speech house road extension coming? Interestingly enough, last week we had a discussion about the Wye valley line and the we concluded that the rest should be rebuilt as 2' gauge; using the NGG13/16s and NG15 currently at the Exmoor Steam Center! The answer to that is ho...

Hi all, Thought some of you might be interested in some of the photos from the Dean Forest Railway's biggest gala of that last 15 years! Four visiting locos meant that we were in for a good ride, and today I managed to get cover for the last two hours to escape on go on a photo hunt - being staff I ...

Danny, most of us in the Traffic Departmen t would see moving on to the loco department as a demotion! :shock: I've never been interested in getting involved in footplate work - I spent enough time in that location as a Guard, Movements Inspector and Pilotman to have had my fill and more! Haha yeah...

I vounteer at the Dean Forest Railway, Ticket inspector, Crossing Keeper, Guard, that sort of thing, hoping to move up to loco crew later on this year.
