Re: The (Windmill Hill) Welsh Highland Railway
Rampant campanula was my problem this year. Rampant moss is mine... I'm thinking of starting an export business - using rail transport of course, if I can clear enough of it to allow the trains to run! Oooh, I'm imagining something like the Irish peat lines, maybe with those rustic looking wooden c...

Re: The (Windmill Hill) Welsh Highland Railway
Its great being able to get to run something isn't Andrew after all the flipping rain we have had. I have a problem with my bridge at the moment so a full run around the line isn't possible for now, but I will do a short video of a battery soon hopefully.

Re: It's a Sign!
Hi Andrew, When my Dad used to get his wagons sign written the guy used to chalk out the sign first and then use that bit of stick that has a piece of cloth wrapped around it. He had many different sizes of those because some letters were really small, like the bottom of the doors on my Dads cabs w...

Re: Chassis thickness.
I agree with Aaron, bracing is a must now and the width like Phil.P says the overall dimensions will hurt you when building it. You could put thicker right angle corner pieces to make the dimensions better and stronger. No harm in looking at that mocked up and seeing if it helps, I think it would an...

Practice, practice and more practice Drew, like anything else the more one does something the better and easier it gets, or should be. I fail miserably most of the time with somethings I do

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway
Well done Drew. My little help thread has succeeded in doing what I wanted it to, to get more members to make videos and show off their lines. Yours is a little bit short your right
But hey, who cares, you have done it and I like the speed of the loco. Nice clear shot.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Great video Rik, the hitchhiker landed perfectly didn't it. Although I would have ran away myself
Great to have some sunshine at last too hey, hopefully we can all start to send more videos in now and get to enjoy running our stock again.

Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd
Can I make a suggestion Phil. Why don't you try with some 3 or 5 ply full length, you then can put wood screws countersunk every few inches or so and then fill in the small gaps with wood filler or something that will be ok to use outside. For the ramps at the end I would score the underneath about ...

Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd
Those coaches are very very nice Phil.
