how about this, i made it back in early november 2010. its a shortened lima class 33 using the motorised bogie with a plasticard frame. and my own fictional livery.

the cut & shut join is down the left hand edge of the right hand door. the transfers are from an airfix red arrow gnat kit

i thought i could hear thousands of jaws dropping, but i couldnt figure out why until i saw this thread

so many out there that have my interest, but i can only choose three?

1. eagle rock- just so much detail.

2. crumley & wickhill- being able to look down the valley instead of just one side of it.

3. bottletop colliery- a working conveyer belt to load the wagons

Hello, this is a mystery which has befuddled me for a while, why are preserved railways unpopular as Layout subjects? I mean modeling a fictitious preserved line opens up a huge range for a modeller, if you wanted it could be in this reality, an example of Gresley's P2's has been saved, an LMS Garret (imagine one of those on a passenger train !!), a 47XX or a genuine Hawksworth county, an example of all the Classes of GNR(I) 0-6-0s, a Hawksworth Pacific. Its not just Locos, there are some real gems from the Rolling Stock archive that have been lost forever. you could create your own fantasy preservation world. So why is it and what would you preserve?

i've had that thought as well a few times, and i've always wanted to model middleton railway just before the complete rebuilt

the dried out water tower emergancy with all those buckets of water from the stream to the engine was in the film because it was seen being done by the talyllyn railway a few years before

aren't pilots also for running round duties (e.g.) a train pulls into a platform, stopping the engine at the buffer, people get on and off, the pilot pulls the carraige back off the point (because engines aren't allowed to shunt carraiges with passengers inside), now the point is clear the engine can go off through the relaese road to the MPD for refueling and the pilot returns to t's place

i have recently built a 00 gauge model deisel-hydralic crane kit from Dapol. my dad told me that the moulds were bought by Dapol from airfix, so in theory i'm building this...

i don't know anything about it's type or who it was built by, but there's a working rail mounted crane at the elsecar heritage railway
