Some nice arty pics, you just need a proper railway now!

Yes not you can build a railway and stock etc, one of the photos really well demonstrates the boundaries of 16mm to the foot scale!!!

well at the moment, I'm not going to be able to build it this holiday, but my dad says that he'll give me 2 weeks of his time at summer

!!!!! So it'll be finished by then

as a temporary measure they are also going to build an area on the drive (the wall that mhlr spotted it in one of my vids!) that is going to be cut off from the drive so i may be able to have it as a temporary permenant railway!

My railway is temporary at the moment but that doesn't make it bad! It is a place to run steam locos!
I to am looking foreward to properly building my railway. I hope we get regular updates of your progress, I promiss to do so with mine!

I will do for mine, so as with my overhaul on my mamod, H.G.Butler

I would have had some more pics of Britomart (The Green MSS) there, but she decided to fail (a steam leak from the bottom of the boiler i.e. from the steam pipe somehow! same as H.G.Butler!)

I think the second from the top and second from the bottom are the best, very nice stuff though.

Most excellent and once you have run a few times parts will bed in and she will get better and better.

Seconded! :D

I like the second from top, but I think the last one is slightly better than the one above, but it's personal opinion!

I know, and when my temporary permenant part is complete, it will rival mhlr's!!!

Nice pictures, and nice to see a typical narrow gauge railway, where the word "straight" has a somewhat flexible meaning!!
