Re: Old videos of the Sandstone & Termite
Hi Greg The link has an extra space just after the “.be” so doesn’t work as posted. Editing the space out works fine. https://youtu.be/hDOn09Tm7RE You say the fire has gone out - I think it must have been more a raging inferno when you were building and running the S&T. I look forward to revisi...

Re: Diorama or Real Life
I've tweaked it a bit. Does that make a difference, do you think?

Re: 1/35 scale Garratt
He's happy to share them on the following conditions/ understandings The labelling is probably haphazard and the nomenclature may not be standard (E.g.

Re: The Railway in the Valley of the Mill
I would like to create something with the "flavour" of Duffws, the original terminus of the Festiniog railway. ............ I am contemplating a traverser to enable locomotives to run round trains standing in three of the the four roads. Totally un-prototypical but practical for a day lik...

Re: The Preseli Mountain Railway.
Good progress being made there. Running the first train is always a welcomed milestone.
Will there be video?

Re: Imagine finding this in your back garden
Who in here didn't buy their house because they could get a railway in it.. Well, I must hold my hand up and say "I didn't". :lol: In 1997 when I bought this place, I was still firmly modelling in P4 ( 4mm finescale) with a 23ft x 23ft exhibition layout which had been under construction s...

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Very enjoyable — and I imagine it must have taken ages to assemble and shoot. Quite a while, yes. But I was pleased to find that all but one loco worked first time straight off the shelf. Four have now ended up in the casualty bay as, although they worked, there were some issues which I want to rem...

Re: Daisy, Daisy...
Another little masterpiece in the making Andrew. Love the woodwork and, as others have said, full marks on the lining. I'd never be able to hold my breath long enough to manage even one line.

Re: where am I?
Now returned home from our brief travels. It's a while since I've ridden on the Talyllyn. I must say, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and obliging. I was waiting trackside to take some photos of Sir Haydn when the station master popped over and told me, as long I was careful, I could wande...

Re: where am I?
That's curious. By coincidence, I'm in the process of reading Boyd's Narrow Gauge Railways of Mid-Wales (picked up from a trader at Machynlleth market). I've just read the chapter on the Talyllyn and he describes that when the Preservation Society took over the railway they discovered the original s...

Re: where am I?
Had a great day on the Talyllyn. We travelled down from Abergynolwyn to Tywyn, had lunch, then took the train back. It bucketed down so that when pulling away from Rhydyronen the driver really had to nursemaid the loco with much wheel slip until we crossed the stream and rounded the bend and breaste...

Re: where am I?
Disappointed that no one had a try for this. Ex-Corris ex-Falcon Foundry loco now named Sir Haydn. I really love those solid cast driving wheels. Very reminiscent of my early Triang locos and a great excuse for adding spokes to proprietary metal wheels for my latest 3D printed motor blocks. Sod's La...
