Great pics Laalratty

Are those station buildings based on the ones at 'Irton Road' station, and the first 'Eskdale Green' station?

great pictures mate love the layout
can never get enough pictures

yep the wooden building is a model of the original building at eskdale green. Its the only model on my line to go anywhere near an exibition, dad used it on the ratty society stand at kendal model railway exibition a couple of years ago

Ok just reread comment I know you said some not one[/u]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you've got the scenery done nicely, and I'm loving those coaches, very FfR 50s inspired all they need are red ends!

Great photos, and thanks for sharing them with us.

Looking at other members photos has persuaded me to look into joining the 16mm NGM, and I've been invited to a Garden Railway meet today for a chat, and asked to bring a loco as well. Unfortunately due to last minute contract work in the last 2 days I did not get the modifications to my IP Jane done in time so I've charged up my JD Models Hunslet to hopefully give it its first run on a Garden Railway - need to get the camera & video charged up now.

What you need now is a model of that station which is just a rowing boat, ifact I think one of those would suit the SHR.....

I gave my first IP enginneering 4 wheeler red ends at first, but I thought it was too many colours on such a small carriage. So I chose the 2 colour livery. As for a model of miteside halt, I think that is one eccentricity that should be left for the ratty! I know of someone who put one on their own line though

Love the first photo of Gwydion. A very nice piece of work and a definate contrast with your Caradoc (looking forward to see more photos post overhaul). Have you thought any more of names to give her? How about Efnisien?

Ok which mythical person is that?

Posted: **Fri Feb 08, 2008 8:27 pm**

Gwydion's nephew if I remember rightly. A hot headed warrior. I was thinking of the spiiting problems you had with her before fitting the chuff pipe.

HI laalratty, just want to say a big thank you for a great afternoon on the Afonglas and Nant Llywyd Rly! Look forward to seeing some of your pics and i'm sure cecil and I will be posting some in due course.

After a great deal of worry about the gradients, I think they really make the line very interesting...and my mamod charged the bank no bother!

I am just putting the clips that I took into a short video, so I guess we will both have additions to make to youtube quite soon. I'd love to see the mamod round again sometime, along with another selection of ptlr stock, it was certainly the best selection of locos I've ever had at a steamup, you got the award for the first mamod (well that hadn't been converted into a tram!)
Thanks for coming
