I too like doors and gates that open, makes for realistic pics loading and unloading. Nice work on the cattle van.

Re: TVT - Dog Box Carriage
Nice one Graeme, Borun and train look very typical. Seems you got a good flat finish on the dogbox.

Re: "Calloway", a Roundhouse Bundaberg Fowler Rebuild
Great detailing Aaron, particularly like the depression in the centre of the coal load, as opposed to the full to the brim look.

Re: TVT - Ezard's Rail motor
Those front wheels look so typically timber tram with their tread width, I suppose exaggerated by their small diameter. So where's the hessian bag?

Re: "Calloway", a Roundhouse Bundaberg Fowler Rebuild
Hi Ted,
The injector is SOFT soldered together in one go, using the tiniest amount of solder. (actually too much in this case!). I silver solder most of my boat fittings as strength is generally a requirement.
My apologies to Aaron also.

Re: "Calloway", a Roundhouse Bundaberg Fowler Rebuild
Hi Ted, I'm guessing that any problems one might have making these small items, really comes down to soldering. To go with the injector above, cutting the various pieces of K&S tube should be fairly straight forward ( I use a jewellers piecing saw, an aquired taste! ) Filing the "U" sh...

Hi Aaron, Don't know if this is any help or what type of under cab injectors you need, but these are what I made to represent those on the NA's of Puffing Billy. Simple soldering job with various bits of K&S tube and brass turnings with hex's ground on. You could of course use brass nuts. Puffin...

As Philip said, a very open and airy design. Lovely work as usual Rik. It is certainly a very long vehicle to be on six wheels!

I can only echo what others have said, a superb series of builds. Your first introduction to garden railways is off to a very good start.

Re: The Hollycross Railway Company!
It always seems the "Permanent" way is never permanent, still much as in the real railways I guess.
Good to see trains again on the Hollycross, and that your enjoying it.

That entire train just oozes narrow gauge charm. I really like that cowcatcher on the loco, sets the whole thing off for me.
