'lol: Stronger glue I think nice shed by the way in the background is that emery paper on top??

Nice brick effect on the walls

I don't like the way its been reported, like the train was at fault for been on its tracks "train collided with tractor" surely that should have been the other way around, the tractor could have steered elsewhere than onto the tracks!

Hope everyone's ok though.

Nice piers  

I'll stick some together then let them dry, ill then try and pull them apart, and see how strong the bond is

Might actually get around to cutting some slate tomorrow night to make a start At Steam toys Lincolnshire yesterday with the mamod forums

Thanks Peter, I was planning on using something like this, it says on the back that it sticks to slate, stone and wood, so is suitable for building structures I think :? But like you will be starting with something small like a hut or water tower, and spread quick setting cement inside the walls for...

This may turn out to be a long thread, or a short one time will tell, depending on my patients :lol: I've acquired some slates from work, or rather offcuts of slates anyhow, and seeing the slate splitting thread on here, thought I'd try for a full slate building, I've got a tile cutter, which I'll u...

With the other rolling stock youve made will look very nice

Nice, like the detail like the fuel tank and cap and the little rack above the cab

I know this is an old thread but are these two still running, to me it seems a fairly cheap way of running a railway on small lines. And I'd be interested in knowing thickness's of the end plates and seamless tube steam tank 8) Roundhouse chassis £400 Bits for steam tank £150 Bodywork £70 Paint £50 ...

Now that looks cool, I like the scroll metalwork, and the match between the red frame and stained wood is spot on

Waiting with keen interest as to the seriousness of a production model?? Have always wanted to give one of these a go, even have an engine that I acquired with the intention of building one of these, alas I haven't acquired the skills yet

Really enjoyed reading through this thread

The work you've put into that wonderful loco has created a truely unique, and marvelous creation Look forward to seeing more runs of the loco

It's probably the best for changing a light bulb from!

So the answer to your thread title is revealed "how many cranes does it take...."

Cheers, I do enjoy them, but as its for the kids layout don't take too much time colouring in the cardboard edges as I've done on some previous all finished off today with coping and other details added on, time to build another :) As its not Garden railways I wont post any further builds, this was ...

Very cool, is there a thread on the live diesel build somewhere?

Have always wanted to build one

That looks very good I like the cart is the building a model town one??

The laser cut components are the sheet bottom left on the table, adds a lot of detail for the lourves at the top of the tower :) Ps does this count? A 6x4' board is not the easiest to man handle outside :lol: Thomas rushing to take the morning milk for breakfast :lol: http://i952.photobucket.com/alb...

This may be on the wrong board, (forum even??), but after seeing planty's church I felt a bit inspired to get on and built a church ive had sat around for a while tonight and thought id share, its for the kids 6x4' layout, which may be got out tomorrow for a play :lol: This is a Metcalfe card kit fo...

I'm in awe!!!! That is amazing

I am seriously impressed!  There is a lot of thought and experience involved in this and it has paid dividends. So far I haven't seen a modular layout assembled but looking forward to it. I have literally been making it up as I go along! lol! Thanks :) It looks brilliant and very natural, you shoul...
