That was fast ! though you only picked this up at the weekend.

Reminded me I should get on and build my Planet (a Nonneminstre Models kit)

Are you going to attempt to limit the speed to something approaching realism?

Nice and heavy and subtle use of the feedback controller should do it. I'm not into clever because I don't now how or have the time to care (I'm too busy building stuff).

I believe High Level do a gearbox combination for this kit. I certainly bought a pair of his gearboxes to power mine (in P4). Gordon Ashton has also done one in P4, using High Level gearboxes.

 

I look forward to seeing the finished article at Railex!

It should be there, and it should look good as one of the loco exchanges for the Burrowbridge Light Railway workings B)

Actually, maybe Borchester who will will be backing onto us at Railex might want to join in the fun...

Looking nice already Chris. Dissapointed that I won't see Combwich together with Enginewood. I am right in thinking that you and the Captain are joining the layouts togetheror did I imagine that? Cheers, Mark

I don't know if its the same model but David Cross has a Planet which he keeps on the Forest of Dean Railway and gets used for construction work.

Nice model as you say ideal for Brewhouse Quay.

Combwich will still be joined to Enginewood (via flying cassette) at RAILEX last time I looked - so you won't need to be disappointed. I will be if drop the cassette with one of CK's lovey engines though..

 

Planet; I'll check that out - there is one at Bury by all accounts, but decent views on the web are a little ellusive.

'By carefully craned cassette under more H&S Supervision than your worst nightmares' is probably a more apt description!...

I will be dissapointed as I have to go on holiday that weekend which is a SWMBO clan gathering in Welshpool. I can see some railway excursions planned though.
