The GnATTERbox

Sadly as I'm probably only free on the Sunday of that weekend will have to miss it this year.

There is a prototype for the line through a garage and round the house quite close to me in Dorchester, Dorset, UK. 7 1/4 gauge and owned by the publisher of Miniature Railway magazine.

Layout protection On my classic train set layout ( http://www.island-publishing.co.uk/dublo2.htm ) the Perspex screens I added at the front worked well to stop derails hitting the floor, small hands and my own flapping jacket! Another tip passed on, although the idea isn't mine as I got it IIRC from...

Size is about what you have the space and time to model. The commonality here seems to be for smaller layouts but I have never seen any guidelines on that. I'm guessing that minimum gauge (indoors) appeals for the ability to have tight curves when you only have a small space available. Many NG model...

With regard to this project having how added the top layer using the two advert boards glued on to provide the extra lamination bridging the joint of the two boxes I am very pleased with how strong it appears to be Is it really nine years since the above post! The original box structure has survive...

Orion should be in steam at the Downs School 90th Anniversary Gala. Colwall 30 Apr/1 May. A rare opportunity to see the locomotive away from its' normal base at Shildon. One of the oldest working miniature steam locomotives on the oldest railway! http://my.gn15.info/gnattbox_img_7439.jpg As you can...

Have discovered today that BEC have transferred the motor bogie/chassis range to http://www.kwtrams.co.uk/ Have as a result updated this thread with their website URL.

Still around, degree now completed but still mostly working on research.

However, bought some more bits and pieces over Easter at this year's York Show so the modelling bug is slowly awakening from slumber.

As I anticipate a few of the Uk based modellers may be traveling to the show by rail over the Easter weekend an important travel update. The commercial bus operator has pulled the plug on the racecourse to/from Rly Station event link bus for the Sunday & Monday. The link bus options this year ar...

Hi Guys. I just thought that as I haven't been actively posting on here for a long while I would let folks know I am Ok, just very busy in other non-modelmaking areas at present. Still interested in railways, as ever, but it has been all research into history of the full size beasties of late, toget...

Drove past the other day and sign boards outside the entrance seemed to suggest some new/repair work was under way. I know it is a military firing range so not open to the public but with a contractors sign up the work is unlikely to be secret activity. Anyone know what is being done? Ps. It was th...

Next one just confirmed as Newcastle in 2016. Dates TBC but will be late June.

I've not been on here anything like as much in last couple of years but have not lost my interest in railways, merely been working in other spheres. Result of one of those research spheres is a chapter in this book coming out later in the year. http://www.rchs.org.uk/trial/gwpf.php?wpage=early-railw...

Home now from the York MRS event and I'll have a look. I've taken a gamble that it is in the Amber Films documentary "last shift" about Adamsez and have ordered their DVD. Even if it isn't the DVD has film of the Bowes Railway that I've only got on an old VHS tape recorded off the TV so t...

I recall seeing this in a video, probably on here, two maybe three years ago but can't find it. Can anyone remember the link? Possibly Swalwell to either Adamsez ceramics factory or the associated brickworks. Filmed IIRC about 1975. Problem is I think the documentary it was in was not actually about...

Thanks Colin. Will pass that on to the Photo Collection manager.

Latest update on the SLS What where when? page is of an unknown miniature railway and train. Can any reader give us information on the following photograph please. http://www.stephensonloco.org.uk/sls_what_when_where_168.jpg Photographer = R F Roberts but that is all the info we have.

Thanks Glen. Will try them.

Any of you Australians out there able to suggest one?

Which would be the best magazine for the Stephenson Locomotive Society to place an end of year recruitment advert for 2014 memberships? General purpose railway society covering historic and contemporary topics.

Thanks in advance for any assistance and advice.

The thread title reminds me of the old flatuline wagon!

Not had the problem described with this forum but do regularly with another one. I have a feeling but no way to check that it happens if you log in on more than one machine. The 2nd seems to disable the first but randomly!
