The N.L.L.R
Hello all,
My first post here. This is my railway, the Narborough and Littlethorpe Light Railway, a narrow gauge preserved railway, set in Rural Leicestershire.
The rest of the back story can be found on my website http://www.freewebs.com/nlrr/
The railway was built in the summer of 2006 and has been slowly growing since. The line currently owns 7 locomotives, mainly of European origin.
The lines first loco, like so many other's, was an LGB Stainz; 'Guido'
The next loco to arrive was LGB shorty, 'Mike' probably the line's most powerful engine.

Hi Keith, nice to see a familiar face
Next was an Aristocraft Little critter in BP livery 'Carl II'
And then perhaps my favourite, 'Cropston' a LGB 2-6-0 Spreewald, the line's largest tank engine.
And the latest to arrive is 'Terrier'. She started out as a yellow LGB Kof diesel, that I have repainted and added a mock up of a compressor tank to.

There were at first Kieth, but over the winter the filter failed (which is why the water is so green) and we took them out to try and give it a chance at keeping it clean. When we scrub the thing out in the summer I will have to suggest putting some inKeith&Joanna wrote:Ricky, if you get some plants in the pond they will help to cover up the edges :) me likes plants

Gradients are a nuisance aren't they? What really makes me annoyed is when a coupling comes loose and the whole train ends up in the pondAHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRAHHHRRRRG! (That's the sound my drivers make when steaming down "Death Hill" on River Butley on the MHLR!) Looks an interesting set up... What is the track layout in the shed?
Drew up a quick track plan

I've been thinking about that. Do do it all I would have to do is remove 3 of the boards in the front of the shed that have been cut to make an entrance. It would also the transition between the gradient and the shed a bit smoother as at the moment its over the fishplates.Mr. Bond of the DVLR wrote:Coor that is quite a problem! Is it possible to lower the boards in the shed to reduce the gradient?
