Would it be worth giving Essel Engineering a call?

Nicely done.

There is a well known Accucraft service agent in Wales called David Mees (Abbeybach Engineering). He would be well worth contacting for advice. He's not on this forum and doesn't seem to have a website, but he and the company are on Facebook, if you have access to it.

Very enjoyable. I can't wait for episode 2!

These are fascinating ideas, but the audio is torture to listen to. I've viewed them with the sound off and captions enabled. At least then I can skate over the repeated "ums" and "uhs". My apologies if this causes offence, but it really does grate for me, like fingernails down a...

A tough choice to make there - I need at least 3 votes!

Oh dear, what have I started? My apologies Trevor

Love the fish van.

Excellent outcome, as always Aaron. Thanks for the link to Night Shift - I've subscribed.

Mine arrived 2 weeks ago. Extremely well packaged and with a lovely note of thanks in it. Excellent customer care.

Civil engineering at its finest. There should be a grand opening ceremony when it's finished, with a suitable dignitary to cut the ribbon. Sir Peter Butler, perhaps?

Yews/ewes in the way!

You do amazing things with your Modular system!

It might not be new, but that is a bonus, adding to the rustic feel. It's a lovely scene.

The scenery and waggons combine to create a lovely diorama, that looks so real.

A lot of hard work reflected in the quality of the layout there Greg. Lots of permutations to keep interest for yourself and guests. The maintenance required must have been extensive, so I suppose it's no wonder that you have less 'fire' than you used to, but I don't think your fire has gone out. En...

“It feels like about six too many” OMG! — Help — I need to sit down… As an unreconstructed Southern Region bore, I’m beside myself with excitement. And I would like to think that by now the chaps at Swanage have developed a pretty shrewd notion of what works for them. The lovely T3 (and their other...

Are you suggesting that Peter Butler is a maker of saggy roofs? How rude!🤣 The best one I know! I don't feel insulted in the least about being recognised as maker of the saggy roof! In fact Simon's photograph shows it off better than I have ever thought of it myself, so thank you Simon. What accola...

If I had to hazard a guess I'd say those are probably the jugs they would use to refill the smaller cans in front, but an engine that is regularly steamed up in a shed might just store the extra supply in the shed. Glad I finished reading the thread before offering my two penn'orth. I agree with Dr...

Having stared at this exact diorama many times, I was too busy trying to confirm It was 1:1 recognise where it was! (The taller building has a slight sag in the roof, but that proves nothing - it could have been modelled by Peter Butler :lol: ) Are you suggesting that Peter Butler is a maker of sag...
