Those coaches are ptlrcecil's, and got brought along to the open day. It's a good thing he did, as my stock couldn't fit other people's couplings, so we had to use the modified stock.

The engine shed was from a company called kent heritage minitures I think. They do a wide range of concrete buildings for garden railways, and are good value. Mine has withstood attack from wind, rain, sun, snow, little kids, sheep, and cows, and survived!

Seems to depend where you log into photobucket from as mine is working good at present. I always allow the video to load first with the buffering, etc and then replay it in full.
well access from australia is the pits at the moment
so im putting my vids on youtube. maybe its a cause of the broken undersea cable in the middle east. any thing from your way is sooooo slow even this forum :cry: :evil:

Matt Thanks for posting those photos.

It is good to see that Mamod track and rolling stock can be used successfully with other locomotives.
