TerryD1471 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I'm enjoying his thread very much, coupled to the fact that I have to drive alongside the trackbed a bit further south (en route to Trawsfynydd) and consequently see the dying embers of this line. Sad! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad! Thanks, glad you like it. I also drive the route as you can see from my occasional photos of the real place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Operationally, it's a bit stifled, so have you ever considered fitting sound so you can listen to your locos ticking over while the gunpowder is loaded. It's pretty much what we photographers did at the real location. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 have you ever considered fitting sound so you can listen to your locos ticking over while the gunpowder is loaded. It's pretty much what we photographers did at the real location. All my locos are sound fitted. I was an early adopter of sound having my first sound loco back in 2003 when the only UK diesel sound was a class 37 from SWD. I now exclusively use LegomanBiffo sound which in my opinion are the best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 You were one of the early entrants then. I only converted to DCC three years ago and wouldn't go back. It is a shame the gunpowder traffic ceased before I bought a video camcorder in 1989. The Legomanbiffo sound for diesels does seem to be the tops. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Any clues as to where please? I'm looking to create something similar. Don't forget its all about the quality of the photos/file you provide for printing. I was lucky in having a good friend who is a great photographer, thanks John. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
