Great job there Phil. Nice and smooth now, I can't see you having any problems with your Russell.

What warmer drier weather Phil...

It's doing nothing but rain, sun and flipping wind here mate and not necessarily in that order..

We need prices please. Thats part of putting "For sale" items on the forum.

Hi Guys, It is now finished :wav: our line is now a full circuit, although there will be a short length going on near the back of the shed, but it's having to wait a little bit longer because Anne has now realised that the little shed that we have isn't big enough for me to do any modelling and stor...

Hi Drew,

It will soon be running with your locos and running stock. You have made tremendous progress in the short time for when you started.

Keep going and you will enjoy it and have fun, that's the main thing.

It's been 5 months...

Hi Miles,

I was replying to Winding Road's post I think....

At our previous house I had a garden pond with goldfish and carp but the water had to be constantly circulated through a filter box and UV filter, both of which required a mains electricity supply. Same here, although the UV filter hasn't worked for a couple of years and doesn't seem to make any di...

..... and whether it's offered a third time if not reaching it's expected price?

Correct Peter, only it had SOLD on it last time it was up for sale...

Yews/ewes in the way!

Very funny...

After a full day of faultlessly working the shunting puzzle Yr Hen Felin at the West Wales Model Railway show yesterday Porthmadog enjoys the sunshine with a mixed freight. She had enough battery life remaining to do some circuits of the outdoor layout. The fish van awaits iron work and lettering, ...

The ponds are ready for fish as soon as the water temperature stays just a bit warmer. [/quote] Hi Drew, Why are you waiting until the water get's a bit warmer, fish like to be in cold water, they hate it when it's too warm. Our goldfish have been in our pond when it's as been -10 degrees and the w...

I like your water feature .A pond is one of my next projects for my railway . I am hoping to find a suitable solar powered battery backed up system pump that can raise a head of water 3ft to feed a stepped waterfall . Hi Preseli Chris, Having a solar powered pond pump while being good for the envir...

It's at £100 now. Let's see what it gets to this time....

They certainly do Peter. You certainly are a master with HIP's, that is so professionally done.

I love them so much, can you make me two of them....

I could have sworn I put this up the other day, but I can't find it now. Still I am putting it up again because it was still for sale yesterday for about £150 and did write that if I had the money it would be in my collection, but alas money being tight now it's out of my reach. Anyway I got an emai...

Have done Rod. Please note though that it probably only fits this one variety of motor/gearbox. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006734665217.html spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.2c23f19cXMuIuf Thanks Philip, :thumbright: I have a couple of those very same motors but at the lower revs...

Thats the joy of working with HIP and using a razor saw blade to make it look like wood. You can get some really realistic effects so it can look like old weathered wood.

Great build Peter, it's worthy of this...

Don't like insects of any kind, especially SPIDERS....uggg... please...

Ladybirds are welcome though...
