  1. Over the last couple of days I have tried to repopulate the thread with the photos lost in the great server crash some years ago. Some photos have been renamed since, some binned so much guesswork and fudging has been applied. It is not perfect but should help the viewer make sense of the posts. regards Bob
  2. Glad you enjoyed the journey Martin
  3. Iain was one writer I always looked forward to when buying British magazines years ago. Sad to hear.
  4. I visited the shop in 1969 on my trip to Europe. think I bought a Jouef 2-8-0. cheers Bob
  5. Waiting for the promised snow. Meanwhile here are a couple of photos. cheers Bob
  6. 47606odin ( amazing the names some people give their children these days), my track has been outdoors for 9 years without issue and my UV would be greater than Geraldton. A friends layout was out for 10 years in Brisbane without issue which would have similar exposure to your location. Go for it! cheers Bob Comerford
  7. There are quite few O scale locos about, trouble is most are made by the owners. Lots of videos on Youtube. I don't include 16mm in that statement it is not O scale just makes use of the track. There is a facebook group that might help with info on what is out there. ' O gauge 7mm live steam' . No RTR as far as I am aware unless you can afford to pay a specialist builder. cheers Bob
  8. New signals and pedestrian overbridge, 3D printed.
  9. OGH 38 on trial run. cheers Bob
  10. Here is a new loco being built for running the passenger service. Resurrecting an OGH 38 bought with a donation from the Aussie taxpayer this year. Painted with a mix of Tamiya greens and lining etc from teditor. Now onto the mechanical and electrical work. BPRC power. cheers Bob
  11. Hi David, hope you are safe down there. No I have not made a 73. Only one I have had was a Bergs kit with a scratchbuilt mech in HO. Should not be hard to make one in O scale as it is basically a flat box. I have X200 and 79 classes in the small diesel shunters. cheers Bob p.s. spend most of my time on facebook these days so sometimes there will be a delay in answering here.
  12. Today was perfect one for test running the new Jinty purchased from 'Rails'. Very nice! cheers Bob
  13. I must admit I have been long tempted to do an unashamed copy of that loco of yours David as I have not yet found an Aussie loco that I can use the mech in :>) cheers Bob
  14. I originally took a bit off the back of each flange in my lathe. Now the mech uses replacement wheels from NWSL designed for it. This also addresses the gears on the axles that will eventually split with better quality ones provided. I suspect I moved them out to 29mm BTB in the process. cheers Bob
