Thanks for the comment JoshV8. New update, a bit of work on the B1, a tender from GBL, has been acquired, and made into a runner, bit pushed for time at the moment, so I'll leave it, on how I made the tender chassis for another day, if that's alright with you.

G'Day Gents Had the J1 running, but it's a but stuttery, so I'll bring it back inside and threaten it with a large Hammer :o In the meantime, having a go at another fairly quick project, I bought a a GBL class c 0-6-0 a couple of years back, with thought's of motorizing it one day, well that day has...

G'day Gents Now that you have made a good job of scratchbuilding some smoke deflectors and a tender cab, will we be seeing scratchbuilt loco's taking to the rails in the near future ??? You have taken the first steps, loco's are built the same, one part at a time, running plate, cab, boiler, try a 0...

G'Day Gents Good question.................Hard answer. So many facets to Model railways,, Track, rolling stock, Locomotives, scenery, RTR, Kit built. Even researching a railway is Fun. But we blend them together to get want we want, and that is what we hope to a achieve, a 'Blend' something that is ...
