No sense.....of adventure, I've heard there's a barbecue at the end of the line with Texan sausages and they're a real treat !

Seems my trunk call to Billy Smarts Circus did the trick !

Happy days! It's a great feeling just leaving it where you decide to and no one moans !!! Now where did I put my ............ Great stuff, nice to know Iain is still doing his magic Grahame

Most enjoyable thanks for taking the time to post these vids. Whilst I'm here may I ask whether you know of any manufacturer who produces decals for early (Epoch l) Royal Bavarian State Railway loco's and stock ? May be a long shot but hope you don't mind me asking. Cheers Grahame Happy modelling !

Hi Mikkel I'm very much enjoying this subject, not intending to add to any of the above, just fascinated by the methods you are experimenting with to achieve an end result. I was especially taken with the bicycle which I think appears on a tram based layout ( sorry forgotten which one, it's on this web somewhere) man with cloth cap pedalling like billyoo being passed by a tram, really makes me smile. Anyhow..... The tilt wagon would have been a standard gauge in my opinion so would look good on your proposal, a bit more of the harking back to Broad Gauge eh! Very happy modelling and experimenting Grahame

I wonder how many will Ker-mit to one of these ? And will there be some free Frogs thrown in to make your own turnouts ?

Well done...... Waste not want not as they say

I've tumbled outa here once or twice ! Happy dayz !! Hic!

I've seen a lot worse than this ( excellent observation though and well modelled) when I was a building control officer !

I think Boots are now selling Sausage Patches if you're interested ? Similar to nicotine patches but less of a health hazard for the sausage addict. Alternatively.....try rubbing Dripping on ya chest !

I think I fit into that box too at the moment !

Mikes getting too far "a-head" of himself !

If you use spuds will they pull the skin off the Ambrosia wagons?

Suppose you've got to model the gravy train next then?

I can assure you....it wasn't that pleasant standing behind him when he took it !

I've just picked up this blog. Very well carried out in respect of the perspective. Certainly shouts Germany to me in a good way. Whilst I'm here may I ask whether you know of any source which details either descriptively or photographically the early Epoch l / ll Bavarian State Railways ? I'm about to start a small project which incorporates the early period loco's / stock and would like to get some of the infrastructure/signals etc right without getting too much wrong. Kind regards Grahame Happy modelling, happy modelling.

Looks like someone's gonna have fun!

A well observed and interesting scene in the making, keep it up please. Happy modelling !

Well..... It might be blistering heat out side but it seems to be raining GBL loco's at my door !!! Some months ago I placed a direct order for the 28XX class and COT models. Money taken then sat back and waited, and waited, and waited....you get the idea. Several phone calls later and approx. 9 weeks wait they arrived....... Wahoo! The main plan was/ is to have a "play" with the bodies, in the vein of Stefan aka "Knobhead" of this parish. Lo and behold two more turned up this morning which were due to the company's mess up ! When offered back, like an honest person that I am, I was told " our mistake sir you can keep them with our compliments ". RESULT !!! Now if only Bachmann, Hornby, etc etc would do that , huh! Fat chance Happy modelling everybody, happy modelling !

All of the above.......please keep it up, most fascinating, truly excellent ! Grahame

Cyclist just brilliant !
