BTW loved the old locos video, you have had a fair few correct green locos havent you.

The 'faded' GWR green Leader gets its first quick video (just off my phone). <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9Dlsb1v10AE?version=3&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="tr...

Don't worry, it will give me an excuse not to clean it... Or I could just call it sunbleached western green.

but I must say my favorite of your engines has to be that one with the square spectacles and Hackworth gear called "Warrior". Something about it really looks authentic and workmanlike to me. What kind of engine is it? Yeah Keith one of my favs too, it's a Roundhouse Carrie, based on the e...

Cheers for the tip Matt, gave it a good look round but found nothing loose. :D Ok raining still but hey! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/GhostCav/CVLR%202012/DSCN0204.jpg On shed. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/GhostCav/CVLR%202012/DSCN0205.jpg A lap light engine to loosen up a bit. h...

Well taking a leaf out of the wifes book, when things get you down a bit it's gotta be retail therapy. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/GhostCav/CVLR%202012/IMAG0185.jpg Of course she knows squat about retail therapy! This is how you do it. LOL http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/GhostCav/C...

Usual story, work, family, stress etc etc. Finally managed to put a fire in a loco this evening..Infact while I was at it I decided to light two & then went a little mad with consist size. Zach best not watch it.  :twisted: <object width="560" height="315"><param name="m...

laalratty - I wonder how he (LMSjools) accomplishes running 2 engines with one transmitter? Have engine #1 set up on left stick, and engine #2 set up on right stick? No, with 2.4ghz you can map both locos to the same transmitter. Thus when you open the regulator on the transmitter both engines will...

Nope, as bought low detail awaiting strapping fitted to emulate door opening on sides as per L&B opens. A job I hasten to add that I wont be rushing to do! They need end bracing as well.

The CVLR's 7 new wagons get put straight into traffic with the existing opens.

He needs to inspect Shane's traverser, and the lack of a point indicator at the "tunnel" end of Chyknell loop - which has already led to accidents - should be looked into as well. PMSL! I will have you know the issue with Chyknell tunnel end points has been resolved (mostly). The traverse...

Looking good there Zach, Tightly packed in line but without the track saturatation look that sometimes comes with smaller lines.
That hessian idea is interesting, may have to find some of that.
Top work.

After lots of near misses I am issuing a warning - no drinking at the keyboard any more...

HAHAHAHA.


I would of thought that 90% of people on here ignore H&S, most seem to display common sense anyway/

Superb, I like it.

Very nice, they look superb.

In my rule book from work it states what speeds & when trains have to be halted with various depths of water & snow. There is no mention of these kind of obstructions!!

Ahh no Mr Lockley, LMB board on that peg is something of a little experiment the CVLR is conducting. It's not finished yet so is showing wrong but that home signal is actually to be fitted with route indication via the route board system. L (loop), M ( Main), B (Branch). After making it I realised t...

I like it a lot. Just looks superb, can I borrow your grandad?

I'm just PMSL here, I didnt catch the "nothing else matters" line before. Didnt notice the music as what it was. Then suddenly starting singing " so close no matter how far, couldnt.."etc! Nice one.
