jazz Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hi. We took our first round trip on the Welsh Highland railway today. What a perfect day for it too. Warm sunshine all day, that is a rare sight in these parts. We had seats in the Pullman car, that made it a nice birthday treat for me. The total trip was five and half hours of bliss. My other half enjoying the view Round a very sharpe curve. Lunch break at Porthmadog before rejoining the train for the return. Passing a light engine with lady driver. Working hard on the incline. A fond farewell to a beautiful loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2014 The WHR should be in every enthusiast's bucket list (a list of things to have done before you kick the bucket). While I know we have at least one member who regrets the loss of serenity and history of the old WHR, and he does have a point, what we have now is simply splendid. Not cheap, but the quality is substantial, and the track is as good as any NG railway I've ridden in the UK. And, yes, the Pullman observation does add a certain something, albeit to the bill, too. Do it if you can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted August 8, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2014 Well 14mm is accurate though most use 16.5mm. Backwoods do the NGG16 and K1 in 7mm scale though not sure of the kit availability. The NGG16 was produced RTR in limited numbers but very rare.
