Wow! Very impressive railway. What engines have you got besides mamods?

ACLR · Post by **ACLR** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 8:59 pm

I only have mamods at the moment own 6 of them but only 2 ever get a run.

Ok. Mamods are great fun. I know, I've got 2. My friend Sam sparkes surrgests very oftern that a get a Edrig. I would-if my mum would let me.

ACLR · Post by **ACLR** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 9:20 pm

maybe I could swap my unfired sl6 for one
but dout it

Hi. I've got the money to buy a Edrig. The problem is that my mum thinks that its a waste of money, and that I shuold stick to what I've got at the moment, which isn't much.

typical of mums
I have a wife that says the same thing

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 9:38 pm

Yeah. I'm currently trying to persaude her to let me buy an IP engineering battery loco kit. She's said that if I can make the money to buy it, I can buy it.

Look out for Garden Rail article number 3!

Im hopefully getting an Edrig for christmas next year

mhlr · Post by **mhlr** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 10:20 pm

I'm getting one this year!!!

Maroon with R/C!!
Matt, tell your mum, from me, that they are not a waste of money and these live steamers hold there value nearly 100%! You see some on Ebay go for the same price as they would be new!!! Anyway, why not buy one if you have the money, if it's your money, it's your money! Do what ya like! That's what I do anyway!

GWR green for me. Only colour for an engine with a copper chimney cap running in the west country

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 10:24 pm

Godd advice, but I've tried telling her the good points, and the answer that oftern comes back is "well what about the ones you've got at the moment?"

It gets really annoying.

SJ: I want Maroon, cus everyone else has a GWR green one! So it'll stand out at steam-ups and you can tell whose is whose!!!!

Matt: well, tell her that the ones at the moment are not as good as the Edrig, and you need a bette loco for... (ie To haul longer trains!)
I had to persuade my mum why I was going to build a railway. I just told her, what was the point of sewing nice patterns?!!!

Lol, a little off topic! I'm also having one for christmas, I'm going to mod it up in the long term, all will be explained in the new year!

mhlr · Post by **mhlr** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 10:38 pm

I'm going to mod my Eddy, with R/C on the reg., perhaps a cab if I do that, and some other cosmetics.

I think i shall send it to lightline and get it line out. Maybe fit a DJB whistle. A Milton Loco Works regulator handle, coal bunker and water filler valve. And a few other detailing odds and sodds

mhlr · Post by **mhlr** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 9:18 am

I want to get lining from Locolines (Lightline I can't afford!), and a chuff pipe, water top up and gas gontrol dummy brake from Milton Works. Then fit R/C to the regulator if I can.

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 9:22 am

Is it me, or has this got a bit off topic. Why are we dicusing Edrigs in the projects section?

mhlr · Post by **mhlr** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 9:26 am

Yeah, I don't know! It could be discussed in locos, I'll set up a page there!
