  1. The spellings of place names probably tend to have changed more in the Celtic regions of the country as they were originally in the local Celtic language. When this ceases to be in everyday use, being replaced by English, the meaning of the names gets forgotten and they change/become corrupted over time. Trenowth is a good example of such a name in Cornwall, it would have originally been Trenoweth. Tre means a settlement such as a farmstead or village so Trenoweth is "New Village".

  2. I used it on some three rail 0 gauge models and it dramatically improved their performance. It was very easy to apply as well.
  3. That would be wonderful, I used to really enjoy that series.
  4. Watching developments with great interest Rick.

    St Columb

    As I live in St Columb I shall be following this with interest.
  6. It is indeed a fascinating book, one of these days l'll get round to building a representation of the electric loco (although probably in 0 gauge rather than 2 inch).
  7. The more I see of this layout the more I like it, it is superb.
  8. Do you have any more information on this as the surface mount components are the only thing that is putting me off this project. I am happy with through hole soldering having built a number of audio projects but have never worked with SMD components.
  9. Wow! that is such a great set, and I agree about it being pre WW1.
  10. Indeed! a super little layout and fantastic inspiration. I can see me having a go at something like this.
  11. Great to see the Southern locos out and about Rick.
  12. Sorry to hear about Cathgwyn mate.

    Only just come across this Rick, congratulations on a cracking layout and congratulations to your parents.
  14. The situation with Darstaed at the moment is confusing to say the least. Their demise has been announced on the Ace Trains forum, but they have just announced a new European distributor in Holland.
  15. Smoke box doors with shed plates are available as spare parts from Kernow.
  16. Very interesting Steve, I like the back story. I will be following your progress with great interest.
