It's the parallel universe where British Railways seems to have been 3'11" gauge, again - with some sort of smaller GWR mogul, with inside-cylinders (!?) and other untypical GWR features. Well, really it's just an attempt to put a more agreeable body on a Bachmann Large Scale 'James' chassis: m...

Wow! There's so much to admire here. It's all beautifully realised. Some very nicely composed and satisfying shots too. Strewth... [shakes head, slowly]

Thank you. Signal kits (and ladders) are from Cambrian Model Rail.

Here’s another daft video:

Still struggling to get it sharp, mind.

Probably best watched on a phone or small tablet (with headphones), to tighten it all up.

(Oh. And I broke my soldered connections to the smoke unit while inserting the batteries...)

...mixing post-war BR livery with pre-war syncopated musical stylings ? Preposterous ! ;) Sorry I can't help the crotchet counter in me. Max Tingewickmax - Quality feedback, thank you. I'm still after reasonably brisk tempo, agreeable British instrumental sound track, without copyright issues... Pl...

Ooo-er. Well, there's a bright and chirpy video of the pannier tank but, rather dozily, the subject's often not sharp... https://youtu.be/az58bWCXHP0 Another one with more, um, variety: https://youtu.be/sJODAcNDmmI [link fixed] Both have G-scale stuff masquerading as BR, not always convincingly. But...

Ho Ho. Thank you. Same size as G-scale (fortunately, as they use a lot of it) but to a different, inevitably elastic, scale - smaller than G3 (not that I've ever seen any). I have to cheat with the proportions because of available motorblocks, wheel sizes, track radius and so on. Gauge, I suppose, w...

Welcome to the parallel universe where British Railways seems to have been, in some strange way, metre gauge, or thereabouts... and where the Bulleid Leader was fabulously successful. Here's the smaller, shorter derivative, the 'branchline' version, I guess. It's plasticard on LGB motorblocks and in...
