Lincoln show is to be held somewhere near Newark Might not be a bad idea to put that info in the title
Still its just about walkable/accessible from the stations in Newark and what I see of Tredethy on your blog and another look at Diesels in the Duchy could make it worth the hike
They are rather characterful those railbuses - ideal for some North Kernow style carryings on Should it be not be Commodore Kernow now, if you have a bigger fleet at hand?
Well I thought it was.... I presume the wooden sleepers are used specifically for the joint between the FB and BH rail? But neither m friend or I, who are both pretty familiar with up-close views of railway lines, know not why this may be so....
Thank you for all the pictures Seeing as I dozed off about at the Warren and woke up at Tiverton for just long enough to go grrrr! they are most useful to show me what I missed!
Evening all Could anyone advise on the easiest way to get from St Davids (or any other station) to Matford to see the show on the Saturday afternoon I know where Matford is , but only vaguely from post work taxi travel, nearly a decade ago,in the dark!...... IF any can help, I'd be quite grateful :)
Buy a wood burning stove and see it all in reality - its just the same; but it doesn't move. In large engine sheds, one sees "canopies" where the locomotive engines were fired up - They are not to take the smoke away, smoke obviously rises anyway - They act like an extension to the chimney...
Where are those 'Like' and 'Dislike' buttons!! They could've come in very useful throughout this thread! ;) Pleased to see so much support aimed at the humble servants who support our hobby! Indeed where are those buttons? There seems to be a lot of mumping about the cost of model railway stuff of ...
As above any fire when newly lit tends to create a lot of smoke, if it is "over done" with fuel, compared to one that is slowly brought to life with care - My neighbours know I know this well
I rather like this photo so I thought I would share it with ya' all http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll185/Mickey_Matn/WP_20160416_15_39_40_Pro_zpsuy9ep4b2.jpg oh and this one! http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll185/Mickey_Matn/c570944c-3abd-4970-9b04-52f96c62433c_zpsdomyix3k.jpg
Very good show I thought, though I only had a couple of hours there today - May have to return tomorrow and spend some money on proper things - All I bought today were some sheets of Exactoscale "road setts" (they are near enuff to represent breeze blocks in 2mm scale :shock: ). I didn't v...
I like that :) I glued a Wills Flatiron body sort of together when I was but a child! IF you invent a line of rail, it obviously never really existed - But all the locomotives that did really exist were already busy elsewhere , so in one way you have to invent engines in order to fill your locomotiv...
Something tells me that high quality note paper cut into fine strips would do the job of looking like the leaves of larger marginals...... At the bottom of the garden, I have some Yellow Flag (iris) that I borrowed many years ago from the St Erth reaches of the Hayle River - I am sure they will gro...
Take a look at Chris Nevard's Catcott Birtle layout - a simple (but very attractive) through station fed by a sector plate fiddle yard at each end (4 roads each, allowing 7 trains to pass through the scene before the sequence is repeated - you need one free road in one of the fiddle yards at any on...
I do yeah but it must be 20 years ago! The texture,relief and colour of the bricks was fab and it seemed to tell you how to make it look aged!! Very gently as I recall, and careful in the applying of it to would be walls with its one-hit stickyness! Wasn't it "printed" in someway to get th...
