I did thank you, and as a result I'm back! I am using my phone for this as it isn't letting me reply using a pic for some reason, unless I'm doing something wrong, as normal Martin By the way, after searching through my profile, I can't seem to find where to remove my signature logo and web addresses?

been a bit of time since a last update, had a few track problems, they are all now sorted, and will have to replace one point motor, bu nothing too serious. done some more ballasting on the other board - now it works again, and will start on the hillside soon again pics are to follow martin

id replaced the plastic ones with metal ones, might put the plasic back in not sure yet martin

well two more Bill/Ben locos arrived yesterday, and i have been shopping today! went and bought loads of various grass scatters ready to begin turfing! pictures will be poseted when i find my camera! martin

RE the wagons... going off some dimentions for some chivers kits, they are only 2mm narrower and of the same length! im going to chop some more bits of the underframe though. RE the loco....the orginal cab was removed and thrown! and the small brook cab put on, including chimney, dome, handrails, saftey valves (not yet fitted) and whistle. an easy kit. anyoen can do it, just make sure that all teh parts sit flush before gluein as they do look off when they arnt on properly. that loco is DCC fitted, and its a beautiful runner on DC track! not tried it on DCC, and im not going to as bryn bach is DC martin

its a Hornby bill/ben with a smallbrook cab conversion on it, iv just bought another 2 (bill and ben ) for two more! the wagons you see are cheap Hornby railroad EWS wagons witht eh buffers and couplings removed, as a cheap scource of rolling stock! and thanks martin

The two inspection pits are also been cut and out and the pits put in place ok here is the new river inspection pits and a general view of the last two boards
