Hello All
Back in April NWAG took a trip to some rather famous lines in North wales and Shropshire and I finally did video of it.
Enjoy

Thanks Chris much appreciated. Not planning on running her a lot, nor with huge trains just nice to know where I can get spares if she starts passing steam.

Hello Chris Could you tell me if you replaced the PTFE pistons and If so did you buy them in from anywhere please (tried Milton but they are discontinued). Just bought an early Major (no drop links) and although the PTFE pistons are not worn Im just trying to source some spares for when they do even...

So thier Quiet unless they are under load, Just the way I like a chuff pipe. Sounds like Im going ahead, Cheers fellas.

Hello All

I friend of mine is asking me to fit a Summerlands to his Tom Rolt. I cant really remember but was there some stories flying about some time ago about the chuffers not working as they should with Tom Rolts?

Civilised? Under 25? Commence laughter :-)

Do you reckon he can ever do a Super Fowler? Never tried it. Would probably work if I recalculate for the extended over hang on the rear ballast weight. The closest Ive done is a JB King Arthur 0-6-2 but that had a bunker to stuff the rear weight in. A fowler would need one of the frame stretcher r...

Yes I bet its owner will be well chuffed.   And no its not the Urien.   Urien however will be PTLR Super lady anne no 3 .

If SMT had arrived on time, everyone would know by now that the black Lady Anne is not really what you say it is... :lol: I'm guessing that Scafell did pretty well then? I hope you got video of the signal demolition.... In response. Scafell didn't bat an eyelid at the heavy freight on its back nor ...

I hope that the signal was repaired ASAP, and that the driver was suspended from all further duties. It is one thing to pass a signal at danger, but to demolish it entirely.....! Erm No. It seems that CAG's rulebook is based off NWAG's so that's allowed. Although we did add a clause allowing us to ...

Just a few piccies of yesterdays happenings at the LBBR. (after finally arriving due to 7 sets of roadworks in 56 miles :x ) http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x228/PTLRcecil/DSCF6506.jpg First out was PTLR engineering's super lady anne with the absurdly heavy freight train. http://i184.photobucket....

A "Vortex Manipulator chuff pipe"? This does NOT sound like a suitable fitting for a steam locomotive. My concern over this railway and its staff continues to grow... Some say that they threw conventional chuff pipe design out the window, and that the recently implemented token system was...

How were the arches made ply plastic bent. Sorry for asking but I have to make one see... The curved arch was formed by a some thin ply curved round a series of support struts which were placed to the marking out on the inside of the mould. The mould was then placed on two already completed piers a...

In short Reinforced Concrete.
Each Pier and arch was a mould of concrete cast in situ to one another with steel rebar tying the whole lot together. The moulds were made for the parapet walls but they were never added.

A few piccies of some engines out on test at the PTLR last sunday http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x228/PTLRcecil/DSCF6435.jpg First out was the Fairfield Millie following regulator spindle work (trying to make it a little less livewire) http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x228/PTLRcecil/DSCF6434.j...

Just you wait Mr PTLRcecil, I will be visiting the Pine Tree Light Railway and from what I've seen on your Youtube channel I expect I will be placing an immediate closure order on your line! A Warning - don't go ANYWHERE near the line, else you'll get the same treatment as that little battery loco ...

I am somewhat concerned by the wagon carrying Farther Christmas shown in these photos. The wagon itself appears to be un-braked whilst I am not convinced that the sleigh and Reindeer are held down by any secure method whatsoever. This is all very concerning. This is Concerning? THIS IS NWAG! :D

I enjoyed the video... I like those long red & cream coloured coaches, are they those metal cheddar ones? I, too, found the music incongruous with the video...not my cup of tea, but the footage of the locomotives and coaches makes up for it! Your garden looks similar in size and shape to the on...

The East 17 song to be honest doesn't do much for me either but given that half the engines are in the works for repair/testing "have you got to go away" seemed fitting.

Hello All. Well No Fails of the NWAG this year (due to computer meltdown and also a lack of NWAG failing). So a more traditional Christmas video from PTLR Productions this year.
Enjoy
