Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
Thanks Rod. Same here. It all works fine on all my Mac / iOS browsers (though there was a time when Chrome and Firefox would have you pulling your hair out). Different browsers on different OS render differently and things can change whenever there’s an update. I’m afraid the Windows and Android kit...

Deary Me. Apologies. This kind of thing comes round not infrequently. I wonder what it is this time? Thanks for letting me know.

Re: (WH)WHR Rolling Stock
Very neat — and the video too. The ‘cheesy’ music is cool. “…boarded the 2:15 to Dinas Junction. Can ‘Russell’ outrun Rover?” But, after a tense journey, fraught with suspicion of seemingly harmless other passengers, he’ll find the train will have mysteriously terminated at a previously unknown stat...

Re: Semi-scale BR: Class 33
Thank you all — glad you’ve enjoyed it (and relieved).

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
33_runs_7.gif It goes! I’ve stuck a couple of large lead ingots over the bogies — and it runs pleasingly smoothly. It was time to finish wiring up the 33 and give it a go. Switching it on and fiddling with LocoRemote, you can imagine my surprise when the front, directional lighting glowed bright re...

Re: Semi-scale BR: the fantasy, Southern Region branch, again
“…to both build items of rolling stock and remember to take pictures…” Thanks. It’s useful to have taken snaps, I find, when you go back a few years later, to repeat, repair or modify — and you can’t remember what you did (especially electricals, which I’m clueless about). They fill up web pages to...

Re: Semi-scale BR: the fantasy, Southern Region branch, again
“…pondering what I built a garden railway for, really...” Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve gone on before about my early fantasies regarding an agreeably laid out, lush garden, with a lengthy railway meandering through it (not unlike the BLWR on this very forum!) populated by chirpy t...

Semi-scale BR: the fantasy, Southern Region branch line, again
Steam (outline) locos do laps with the relatively recent coaches.
Little line-side interest (beyond the weeds) I’m afraid. With added noise, for those who like that kind of thing (like me).

Re: NGG16
I recall reading the suggestion that, inevitably, all garden railway builders will eventually succumb to doing a Garratt (I certainly intend to). This one will be terrific, I’m sure. Love it.

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
Thank you. It was all OK. I grabbed both, as the loco collided with the phone, fearful something was going in the pond. I may have had Lonsdaler’s gravity train, pond story at the back of my mind.

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
https://youtu.be/ccrhiVj2DOo It's a bit silly. More to come... I spent a couple of days digging the weeds and tidying up the permanent way, while the shunter trundled round (for the first time) at very slow, scale speeds —without incident, until I decided I should film it for a few minutes. Of cour...
