The GnATTERbox

Hi Peter, Please don’t stop posting pics. You can add them direct to any Gnatterbox post (including editing previous posts with Flickr links) at no cost to you. I’d suggest keeping the size down to 500k or less though please to help ensure they load fairly quickly for the rest of us to enjoy. Cheers,

30 inches?? I'm jealous Stockers - I have to make do with 15".. :( But I suppose 15 inches was good enough for Sir Arthur.... ;) I see what you did there.... I must say the screen seemed enormous on first installing it. My excuse was (is) that it was second hand, but in pristine condition and ...

Hi Ron,

On downloading the photo so that I can see it that much larger (I'm blessed with a 30" screen) it's lovely to see the detail such as the underseat 'cupboard' with proper hinges and handle.

Hi Don,

Looking back I see your first post says

‘Two locos to manage six wagons is definitely one too many. ’

I don’t know how many wagons you have now but there seems to be no shortage of locos.

Cheers,

Hi Don,

Passengers on board too! A bit like batteries, they’re not always included.

Cheers,

Hi Gavin, Glanced at your post and the last couple or so before it thinking, ‘Hmm, don’t remember this.’ Only then did I look back and realised it all began ten years ago. So I’ve forgiven myself. Always like this sort of thing, a point or two, some nice detail and a view blocker. Charming. Cheers,

Hi again Pete, Just popped over to Flickr to see the models. That loco is certainly different. I suspect it says more about me than the modelling but I instantly thought, ‘Flash Gordon’ :D The great thing, to my mind, about any narrow gauge is that is quite believable to imagine that ‘this is what w...

Hi Pete, Before I forget, welcome! I'm not sure how many folk model in Gn15 these days, but sad to say this forum, which I have had the honour to moderate these last several years (I model in larger scales but love pretty much anything related to Heywood's 'minimum'), is very quiet nowadays. As you ...

Now available for sale, along with a wagon and van based on those that ran on the Dinmore Tramway which, alas, is no more.

Here’s Talos in roofless format

Cheers,

News just in: here’s a couple of photos from Mike at Smallbrook Studios for a kit. It’s a 1 inch to the foot scale model of Talos. Talos is a Tinkerbell design located at the Moors Valley Railway

Cheers,

There seems to be a bit of a (railway) traffic jam in Ticino.

You certainly have a very pleasing range of locos and stock; now to put them to work...

Hi Kev, I've taken the liberty of dropping the text from the post with the large pics into your repost with them smaller and deleting the original, along with the comments about editing, so that everything is now rather tidier and we have a post with a good group of smaller, but still decently sized...

It would appear that P Bucket’s current management have undone the enormous screw up of the previous lot. Wikipedia entry: On May 17, 2018, Photobucket restored all of their 3rd party hosted images and introduced new plans, including $24.99/year that includes 3rd party hosted images. [15] On May 29,...

Hi Andy,

They look good to me. Pleasing proportions with the spoked wheels adding extra character.

Cheers,

Ian, Si Harris (aka Model Earth Design http://modelearth.net) has kindly just pinged me a note to say that this beastie, see link below, could well do the trick - but the challenge may be to find one in stock. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Revell+1+24+BMW+3/15&ie=U...

Ian,

Might I kindly suggest you are losing your touch? A few moments on Google gave the Stockers

but you may not like the price...

Cheers,

Hi Andy,

I think it was only when I saw your April 1st post that I really started to properly appreciate this layout. Those photos nicely showed how everything fitted together, so the latest photos make more sense as you add further detail.

It’s all very enjoyable.

Cheers,

Hi Geoff, Love the idea. My spaghetti carbonara making has improved immensely ever since I started using properly harvested spaghetti. :D Question: will there be plenty of b.e locos as you don’t want that lovely fresh spaghetti tainted with steam or diesel fumes? Or does that add a certain essential...

Hi John, To replicate what I wrote some time back in Trade Tittle-tattle: ‘Hi fellow Gnatterboxers, I have been able to talk to Steve, who regrettably still does not have a computer, and we agreed I suggest that anyone who would like to place an order with him do it manually by using the good old po...

Hi Ian,

I hope you have a great time at the show.

And for those not familiar with Purespring there’s also

I know that 8" (yes, really) has been used with, I think about 1.5mm gauge widening. I don't know of a formula 1. Since you'd have to make your own track then try a 1mm, then a 1.5 etc But... 2. All the LGB stuff will go round their R1 2' radius anyway - and that's a fairly small radius for a l...

Graham,

Colonel Stephens would be proud.
