  1. I have long had an interest in the London and North Western railway and now find myself in a position where I may be able to build the layout I would like, do any of our esteemed members have any unbuilt locomotive kits or wagons they would consider letting go to a good home? 

  2. Now i have dabbled in most major scales and never really found anything i am happy with i came close when i used to model American HO, This time last year i spent a number of weeks out in New zealand and was taken with their railways and Scenery. the locomotives are truly huge but lend themselves to modelling and being equally impressive. fast forward into recent months i have been focused on my 00 collection and again unsatisfied with what can be done with proprietery stock.

    A recent advertisement for some NZR locomotives in 1:64th scale posed the thought that in the UK Modelling such a prototype is very different from what is seen at shows and a Ab 4-6-2 Pacific and a Ja 4-8-2 arrived in kit form from a fellow modeller in the south  these are progressively being built but they will need a layout to run on. 

     

    Plans are afoot for something around 10'x2' and portable for occasional exhibition once a few more items of stock have been procured from NZ and wherever else i can source them

  3. What would one have to do on a photocopier to rescale the 3mm scale drawings for 4mm usage I'm quite taken with the tramway and can see my shunting plank having a few buildings from the yard built and suitibably distressed on it

  4. I hate to be a killjoy but the little giant Atlantic has been seriously looked at previously by a very well known narrow gauge kit manufacturer and was discounted on its size as being unviable in operation.

     

    Your river irt concept is interested but perhaps wants a little refinement to smooth out one or two of the straight lines that sketchup has accidently put in place have you got the 7mm drawings or do you want a copy?
