[/quote] Hi Drew, Why are you waiting until the water get's a bit warmer, fish like to be in cold water, they hate it when it's too warm. Our goldfish have been in our pond when it's as been -10 degrees and the w...

I could have sworn I put this up the other day, but I can't find it now. Still I am putting it up again because it was still for sale yesterday for about £150 and did write that if I had the money it would be in my collection, but alas money being tight now it's out of my reach. Anyway I got an emai...

Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd
Very nice that Phil nicely built too.
I’am just starting another small scratch build of a brake van with wood again, but it maybe a month or two before it’s finished the speed I work at….

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway
I can really see how you have been able to make your line to be incorporated with the pond Drew. It’s going to be a great little line and I can see your better half letting you extend your line and create another masterpiece.

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!

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.
