Have you seen the bogie passenger wagon for 5'' guage on ebay?
Currently running at £350 odd i think.

Love the video, that really does look like fun. By the way, are you the terminator? I only ask as I can see the red laser eye dot in the screen!

Nice earth fault at the end, I did think you were off the first lap to be fair..Dog had a narrow escape as well.

Hehehe. I did de-rail on the second lap going over the points, they need looking at, as they don't seem to want to sit in the right place.

I've already got a similar bogie wagon to that, but thankyou for letting me know Invicta.

Now then, I wish I was the terminator... but unfortunetly it's only the light off my camera to show that it's recording.

How about some more pictures of some more recent work?

I'm giving you the photo's so you shouldn't miss that much of the build.(except for when we did something, and i never got round to taking pictures!)

Here are some shots that I put on another forum to show what work was needed. : (now been done.)

That's all for now.

Cheers.

These are all a few months old (You can tell by the plants in the veg patch) but show you the story so far almost.

,

If it's a video, it'll just be the camera sitting on the bogie wagon with me pushing, unless we can get the loco to work that is.... We'll see what happens.

So, it's just under a year since my last post here.
Progress has been made believe it or not.

Here is the most up to date video of the railway, apologies for lack of sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS86920IlGE

in other news i am currently in the process for purchasing a steam loco!! I thought i would treat myself.. Pictures will follow when i purchase the loco.

Cheers,

Stew

What steamer are you going for?

Stewart Gethin · Post by **Stewart Gethin** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 9:53 pm

Hopefully. It is going to need some work before it can be ran, but atleast it will give me the sense of having actually done something to the loco before being able to run it. Think you get more of a feeling of it like that than if you were to just pulling it out the box and running it.

I didn't know it was still for sale (or are you going for a different gemma)

Gemma is a loco which would be on my wishlist if I had a job and wasn't a student...
Lovely looking locos and from the right company too...

Stewart Gethin · Post by **Stewart Gethin** » Tue Jan 29, 2013 5:02 pm

Sorry if im missing something, but what is this Gemma?

I've been wanting a steamer for ages and this came up and thought it was lovely.
