Signalling is probably one of my favourite parts of it all, especially pre-grouping where complicated areas might have 4 or more boxes in the...
I can see the benefit to it. With where I live and the period I model it's hard to ignore the possibility of batch building a pit to port train...
At some point I really need to look into 3D printing for my stuff
The Harton Coal Company was similar given how it was a north eastern company. They used both the double sets of buffers and heavy duty looking...
I do quite like the Florida East Coast. Think it's because it's the plucky also ran after the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line

I love the NSR architecture. Cheddleton looks like a miniature gothic mansion, it almost makes me want to go back 12 years and crack out the...
Well I've taken the plunge and started a second wagon. Flicking through my book on the Swansea Vale I found a picture of a 4 plank variation on...
Just in case anyone needs to know just how small these tubs are here it is between 2 more conventional wagons. [img]
Most of the brake gear is spare from a Cambrian kit so it is very much a bodge job befitting a prototype effort - microstrip and an inverted V...
Been a long time in the works, but my first scratch build is almost nearing completion. Its a 7 ton private owner coal wagon to the "South Wales"...
I agree. The fact I do pre-grouping is a big selling point on this type. I have the locomotives illustrated which covers the pre 57XX Panniers....
I do love how archaic the early panniers looked. For years I've been in the process of cutting and shutting a Hornby 2721 to correct dimensions
Oh its just the general lexicon of online gaming, "Squeaker" is GaMeR sPeAk for female, and I think the other one is a bit more self explanatory...
