Brilliant, just brilliant ! Thank you very much. Best wishes Dirk

Hello Tom, due to the link in the NGRM-online forum I have discovered this fine thread about your excellent layout. That is top-class modelling ! Thank you very much for building, photographing and showing this. Most enjoyable. Yesterday night I have read all 17 pages and admired your pictures. It took around 2 hours as I am not a native english speaker, but it was really worth the time. Well, square eyes afterwards... I do look forward for your new project then, which I follow -this time on NGRM-online- with some pleasure. Best wishes Dirk

Hello there ! The island of Wangerooge is in the north sea. For some more infomations about the ng line (1000mm-gauge, still running) see: https://www.inselbahn.de/index.php?nav=1000008&lang=1 Cheers Dirk

Marc, thank you ! Good to see, I was a bit afraid that these items would not be available then. Best wishes Dirk

Hello there ! Just noticed that the website of Dingham is 'down'. Are they still in business ? Thank you in advance for your help. Best wishes Dirk

Neil, just 'discovered' your thread. How entertaining ! Thank you for sharing. Best wishes Dirk

A bit late to the party. LKM (Ns1) instead of CKD ? Superb modelling. Cheers Dirk

Great modelling, James ! I do understand that sign but I do wonder what is behind that (no, not the brick wall...). Can someone explain, please ? Cheers Dirk

Hello there ! For those who would like to know about Billerbahn (tin-plate narrow gauge in a scale of 7-9mm/ft) please see: http://www.billerbahn.de/Englisch/Listing-eng.htm Sorry for being off topic. Cheers Dirk

Wow, what a surprise ! I am really looking forward for this tiny loco (as for the 0-4-0ST Peckett with the 'open' back of the cab). With a few small locos already at hand this cries for a shunting plank now. If only Peco would offer small radius Bullhead points soon... Cheers Dirk

Hello Andrew, the chassis is Roco H0, isn't it ? Btw. a very nice model. Glad that I have seen it a few years back at Burton. Cheers Dirk

Hello there ! Thank you for showing the pictures. Additionally to the mentioned Feldbahn serie by Zeunert (http://www.zeunert.de/epages/73779.mobile?ClassicView=1) I would like to recommend this book (it's about german peat railways only): http://www.drehscheibe-online.de/lieferprogramm/liefer.php?DS=3&set_page=2 (The third offer 'Torfbahnen in Deutschland') Cheers Dirk

Dave, thank you for your reply. Now I know what 'white spirit' in german means, so I now only need the blue Peckett for treatment... Your weathering looks very authentic, well done ! Cheers Dirk

How did you do that, please ? That you in advance for your answer. I am looking forward to follow this thread. Best wishes Dirk

Andrew, that would be most appreciated as I am not too familiar with the manufacturers, their offered parts and the availability of them. Best wishes Dirk

Andrew, Very, very nice ! I am looking forward for further developement. And one day I would like to have such a model, please. Cheers Dirk

Neil, looking at the first picture I would have thought that the gauge was somehow near standard gauge, especially compared to the tallness of the people around. But in those days people have been shorter... Steam locos and paper (mill) may be risky, but I had the system at Sittingbourne with its numerous spark arrestor fitted steam locos in mind. I am looking forward for further developement. Cheers Dirk

Hello Neil, thank you very much for the two pictures and the informations. I had hoped that there would have been (steam) locos in service. Do you have informations about the gauge ? It looks quite broad for narrow gauge... Best wishes Dirk

Neil, this is very interesting. I am looking forward for further developement of the plans and the realisation of them afterwards. You mentioned a narrow gauge predecessor: Are there any informations/pictures available ? I find that all very interesting but I am more into narrow gauge... Best wishes Dirk

Well, I would say so. With a hint in the NGRM-online forum you will recieve some more feedback. Cheers Dirk

Yes, in fact a very interesting thread, covering nearly all important aspects of life.... ☺ Cheers Dirk

Luckily that model by Hornby won't contain any of such stuff, hopefully... Quite happy to read anything about that desired Hornby model again. ☺ Cheers Dirk

Michael, thank you for the link. A very attractive loco. It(she?) is already on my list. Best wishes Dirk

That's most interesting. Thank you very much for your efforts. I am looking forward for more. Best wishes Dirk

Yes, please ! Cheers Dirk
