I think I see what her motive is-its the reason my mum wants me to get a car reasonably soon. She wants you to drive her around! (and I know that you don't want to buy a car from another post)

What a depressing sign of the times if parents are now automatically assuming we'll need cars as soon as we turn seventeen...have they never heard of public transport? If you'd rather have an Edrig that's your call.

As for the Bible...a) it contradicts itself in a lot of places and b) it shouldn't always be taken literally (I expect most Christians don't believe Christ literally becomes a vine when he says "I am the living vine", for example). Besides, Paul's letter to the Roman's states that "he who by faith alone is righteous shall live"...God allows for the fact that humans have weaknesses...weaknesses for Accucraft Edrigs, for example...so I'm sure he'll let you off breaking that commandment just this once as long as you have faith... :P

Sorry, I know I shouldn't twist religion in that way...please don't take my comments too seriously ;)

Don't worry MuzTrem, I get this sort of comment all the time at school. The pupils there probely spend more time asking me questions than doing school work :lol: !

As for public transport, parents would support it if 1, some money was actully put into it, and 2, the goverment had paid no attention to Mr Beeching.

I'll have to have a flick through Boyd to see if there are any I like. Wouldn't mind doing a barn actually........

Ps Barn is the term given to the modern wooden stock (100-107)on the FfR to all those who don't know

I want a fleet of barns to go behind my 'Taliesin' (if and when I get it).

The orignal Ffestiniog Railway bogie ballast waggons are nice.....

Silly bill buys an engine and gets someone else to build the stock to go behind it.

I dont know why, perhaps its cos PTLRsam recently visited the WHR (C), but i'm quite tempted to build one of the wagons used on each train for carrying bikes. Just cos it seems like something a bit different. Would need to find some piccies, and maybe some drawings!

Today the buffet car was launched into service at PTLRfest, the large gala of the Pine Tree light railway. First pic shows final testing on the ANLR and second pic shows the carriage on the PTLR's large viaduct
