Is the invasion of the TR loco an attempt to keep the invasion of Mamods at bay at Butterley? :lol:


Stunning locos however! :D

:hello2:

Seriously impressed and envious of your fleet ! And in the "right" livery too. I've always thought it a shame that TR have played around with all colours of the rainbow -- your photo with them all together in one livery just confirms it.

You could always come and help wield a paintbrush... I spent nearly 20 years 'playing around' as you put it painting those engines! Grr..

They look absolutely fantastic Matt, and not only that, but the composition and depth of field on the 3rd photo down (a closer look at Talyllyn) makes it an astounding shot! :D
Really looking forward to Midlander!

I already have 1 x 30ft + 1 x 45ft steamboats to paint/varnish and 2 x 5" locos to maintain -- and 1 more in the making !

Don't get me wrong Mr MdC (my son volunteers there as well) -- the engines are kept in great condition and always turned out well -- but that doesn't mean I have to agree with the colour schemes.

Cracking line up, presume there will be a feature in SMT in due course?!

So come on, what's your favourite? :lol:

That has to be the finest fleet of 16mm locos I've ever seen.

They're all STUNNERS!! ;)
What chassis did you use for Talyllyn? I know it doesnt use the Bertie chassis that Corris 3 uses.
