  1. Your layout is set in China! I doubt that many of The Elucidated Brethren of the Counted Rivet will be informed enough to take you to task over your choice of locos. Indulge yourself.
  2. A couple of 37s pushing a snow plough might move the wrong kind of cat, particularly if they came in at high speed from the right of the picture.
  3. Video here. It gets scary at about 6.00 when the driver's mate is bleeding the airbrakes and just goes on getting scarier. Accounts mention one person uncoupling the cars and another one braking them, but in this video one man does everything and has to climb off and on moving rolling stock. I suppose it could be done with free-rolling stock and some method of auto-uncoupling it while moving (a DCC gizmo?) ISTR a GWR exhibition layout in Railway Modeller a long time ago which had a slip coach uncoupling from an express and coming to a halt in a station. I think that was triggered by a laser beam.
  4. I'd buy all of them, put them on one exhibition layout, and see how many cases of Spontaneous Human Combustion occur within The Elucidated Brethren of the Counted Rivet.
  5. I'm sorry, but you're questioning the presence or absence of a footboard on a Southwold Raliway van on a model of the Southwold Railway, and you're running an SR van behind an Austrian engine? I think this is a case of Matthew7, verses 3 to 5.
  6. Isn't that a requirement for a banjo player?
  7. That deserves a Blue Peter Award. You can read your citation here.
  8. And another award goes to Kes, whose "Badger's Bottom" thread includes a signalman's toilet that's right in the spirit of these awards. (It also has some pretty jaw-dropping scratchbuiling).
  9. Has anyone read "Pandora's Star" and "Judas Unchained" by Peter F Hamilton? With the ability to anchor stable interstellar wormholes on the surface of planets many light years apart, the main method of interstellar transport is trains... Until some rather hostile aliens crash the party and other means are needed. Superbly crafted space opera with some unique ideas. Totally recommended.
  10. That is definitely in the category of "railway running through scenery". So evocative of the time and place. Love it. Thank you so much.
  11. Love it. That is a serious structure. Lucky it's in a substantial setting, 'cos it would overwhelm a smaller space. PS - I know I've asked before, but any chance of a track plan, or even some panoramic views?
  12. Love it. How many trains can you run at once without needing ear defenders?
  13. Thank you so much! That makes it so clear. I love that the visual / level separation allows for so much operation in the space, and also has some fabulous scenic features. It's a train-runners dream. I'm hooked and will keep following. Best wishes. Cam
  14. I'm really looking forward to seeing some track laid. Is there a track plan? As a recent follower I can't find one.
