Thanks guys maybe I should subscribe to those newsletters

Is there any news on when these are due to be delivered? I'm eager to get one at last

Not my cup of tea personally, but I shall watch the kickstarter campaign with fascinated interest

Anything narrow gauge although if I had to nail my colours to a mast something with two smoke boxes

If they are the same size as their parkside counterparts, the open wagons should fit nicely

A superb choice of model. The closest thing to a narrow gauge 'class' of locomotive, as they ran practically anywhere where they could be afforded, along with the new rolling stock.

Now let's see, Manning Wardle by Heljan, WD Baldwin by Bachmann. Double fairlie anyone?

Not that I could see

Latest edition of Hornby magazine confirms that the engines are not expected until 2015, will had 6pin DCC sockets and that Yeo Exe and Taw are to be produced

Anyone got any more news on this project? Not to putt too fine a point on it but i want one

I'd loveto see an original condition England too, but as I understand it, all of the modifications made to the class were made for a reason. perhaps it is one dream too far, and is would be a millstone by any modern standards and even if she was made to modern standards while maintaining the cosmetic appearance of the original I'm not sure that she would ever make a serviceable FR engine.

Ironically enough, somewhere like the WHHR or Bala Lake railway would have more of a use for an engine of that sort. Where there are no long trains and tight timings are not so stringent.

Retuning to the topic at hand, it never ceases to amaze me about how much worse you have to make a steam engine look before you can restore it properly

Need I say more...Our Wedding Day, Ffestiniog, 1/5/11 by Steve Purves, on Flickr

I was a kitesurfing, racing driver, general adrenaline junkie when we met. I felt 'responsible' and decided to revert to something safer as a hobby. She was fine with trains at the start but so long as I don't bat on about it she doesn't mind now. Married 3 years ago yesterday!

She's a beauty! (by which I mean the 'Earl' , obviously )

I must confess that when I do get married (cart before horse or what?) then I'd like a wedding reception involving something that chuffs and runs along rails. Preferably narrow ones

If its not too personal a question for an open forum, how much was that section of the big day? I'm just a little curious

Superb thread. Wonderful source of inspiration for those of us who want to try our hand at freelance stuff

I only got one DVD. I think Iread somewhere that the will arrive one at a time.

Churchward 2-8-0 in issue 4. Not bad at all

Bought two coronations yesterday and I must admit that I'm rather happy about the quality. For 5.99 you get an engine that really looks te part and has no glaring faults.

Now to hack one around so it can move

Just subscribed. Much to my own surprise

It would be interesting to see how many of these are snapped up to populate shed scenes and the like.some place where detail won't matter because people are too interested in what's whizz ing by on the main line . Something to make up the numbers in a nice cheap fashion

Just a thought...

That was my idea too. Will probably get the railway children set as well, but close to £350 in one go may be a bit too much for me

Ambulance Train and LMR set pre ordered! gives you the thrill of spending without any of the cost well, yet anyway

A wonderful idea by Bachmnan, I'll probably be having the railway children one as well

It's Boco dammit you're all saying it the wrong way round!

Steam can reach much higher temperatures than 180 degrees under the right circumstances. I'm no expert on live steam models, but my personal view is that it would be best to stick its the traditional materials and technique, and I'm not sure if silicon tubing is one of them. I'd always err on the side of safety with live steam, it can go badly wrong.

Please bear in mind that I could be wrong though, others are undoubtedly more qualified than I am

Whilst I am currently single (don't even get me started on that one ) I think that there are a surprising number of seemingly uninterested ladies out there that like, and dare I say, are impressed by such things.

The railway can also be the source of little romantic gestures. A little 009 Quarry Hunslet (it's 'cute' apparently), painted in her fave colour and named after her is actually a rather nice thing to do just make sure that not all of her anniversary present

Ambulance Train, Railway children, LMR, and 1000 train set for me

FINALLY, A useful guide to girls/women!
