Is this something society members will be receiving as part of their membership or do we need to order a copy??
Thanks

Mine just came through the post and 16 mm NGM website say all members will receive one.

The two tone stands out really well, new here, and I couldn’t see what your base model is, it looks like a Bachmann, hope lam not insulting you

What to do about disguising the level change to make it less visually obvious, possibly a stone cutting face?
Any thoughts welcome on that.

What about slate, vertically it will hide the gap and should whether nicely.

I have couple of bridges (not trestle), and have considered check rails, but unsure on how to fix them to proprietary track.

Mine arrived today as well, just a quick flick through, and seems to be extremely informative

Many thanks for the comments, I have the manual, downloaded one to read up before the loco arrived, and an updated on arrived with the engine. I have been running it around 35 psi, so I will run it at a lower pressure next time, thanks. My other concern was the steam oil, is it correct the consumpti...

I have just received my first steam loco a Roundhouse Fowler, and have started to run it in having done about 90 minutes on a rolling road, however I have a couple questions being new to this which i am sure this forum can answer: 1) When running currently the water runs out before the gas, my assum...

Just a little bit of info for anyone thinking of a stream of their own. Rik has commented in his various Peckforton writings about losing water and being worried about a leak. I've just topped up mine by approx 12 -13 litres because I noticed that the sump level had dropped. It has been running for...

Having just bought my first real steam loco this thread is very informative,many thanks.

A few valuable lessons to be learnt here for battery users: 1. Never allow your batteries to go completely flat, i.e. ensure switched off after use. 2. Have a charging regime, i.e. ensure your batteries are put away fully charged. 3. If not in use for any substantial time, check and re-charge batter...

I feel this thread is wondering off somewhat, the OP is, (Internet "forums" are a thing of the past)...Have a look on any search engine and you will find hundreds of them....... But when you visit some of them, where 5 years ago they were having 50+ posts a day some are now lucky to reach...

Jimmy, Tom-Tom is the only one who can answer this in detail because he is the "Fat Controller" :D . However I have asked a similar question in the past and it is not as easy as it may sound to do what you want. May I suggest that you don't use the back button. When you've read a post sim...

As you are aware I am new to this forum, and I do think there is "some" truth to the title of this thread. I have a number of pastimes, and most have (or had forums), and what is becoming apparent is a number of younger members move over to other forms of communication i.e. social media. I...

Whoops sorry

Ex service, finished in Stafford, and then moved with the work, ready to retire near the coast, but a little warmer than Blackpool

If I recall both the Southport and the Blackpool South via Lytham and St Annes line though met in Preston (where I did my train spotting in the 1960s) were not a "line" as you would need to change at Preston - has been a few years and I could wrong. I used to travel on the line from Churc...

Just Wow, no, at the price, but then let us be honest, we have all paid, at least once, over the odds on ebay.

Very, impressive, maybe the printer is to be invested as part of my retirement.
