I didn't realise Cliff Barker made points for 32mm NG. Interesting.

Inspirational, isn't it?

I know it's harmless, but Ugh I think the worst insect we have to suffer in the UK (apart from Midges) are Cockchafers (aka May Bug or Doodlebug). Some years ago we had some guests from Mexico staying with us one September.They were terrified when they saw some DaddyLonglegs...thought they were gia...

Grant.

Ah, I see. Job done, then.

A certain Mr. H. Robinson recently stopped by my workshop. This affair was required to adapt my rivet press vitals to be able to get inside the Fowler tender and add the extra rivets between those already etched in but too far apart for a water holding tank. I know it looks Heath Robinson but it wo...

Marvellous. What a busy railway! And you must be extremely fit to walk the length of the line with all of your camera and film equipment
Excellent video Rik.

Wow! A really fun interpretation in what looks like a beautiful setting.

Wow Drew,
I didn't realise that the Nolwyn Valley railway had developed this far. It all looks very rustic.I need to re-read you thread.

She has joined the 16mm Association Facebook group, and I believe she intends to join the Association itself.

BTW - cab detail from Sir Haydn. Might be useful when fitting out freelance locos IMG_20240516_132606_496.jpg Rik All lovely photos Rik, sorry I didn't play but I am not able to tell one loco from another, unless it's an image of the whole thing! Could you post the cab I terror photo into the full ...

I've left it far too late in life to learn model engineering skills of your calibre, so am very envious of your skill. The nearest I've come to engineering is helping a friend last week to unload and install a 3/4 tonne Swiss lathe, previously owned by an aeronautical firm and used for making precis...

That's delightful.

What Rik said Beautifully bucolic scene, and nicely captured.

Ah. Bad news I'm afraid, it seems that the business started out as bona fide, but has become something of a nightmare. Trust Pilot reviews aren't good. https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.4kam.com it seems they just rebadge cheap Chinese cameras now. Can you try your bank to see if they will pursue...

I'm confused, Railcam is a proprietary business that 'markets' live footage from railways, I can't find anything on the Internet other than references to viewing railways. That said, if ordering online, I would use a credit card rather than debit, as credit card companies must re-imburse you if you ...

Very interesting, I had planned to fit a pair of traction tires to the drive wheels of the new larger diesel I've been working on, but decided to start with just one tire. Given the tight curves of my line, it seemed like two might cause skipping with a solid axle between them (no differential). Ah...

Thanks for the heads up Graeme. Ordered, not that I will ever build one, but a friend is slowly working towards completing one.

1 traction tyre? Doesn't that make it wobble?
