I am working on a couple of Stephensons Rockets live steam 3 1/2"  3/4 scale
and I am trying to find a drawing with dimensions for the internal parts. I
have the instruction sheet that comes with them. Also if you know of a parts
contact. Thanks for any help.

I have today updated the site with some new pictures of our latest running
sessions, I hope you like them

wales Coast

Sold some N-gauge wagons on eBay on Sunday evening, the customer paid for it
overnight and I was able to ship on Monday morning a little before lunch.
Awesome?  Well I think so - it was delivered to the purchaser in AUSTRALIA

frivolous gifts from wife cos there's not actually much i need etc
etc.

Is Peco N scale code 80 track brass or nickel-silver?  I think it's the

on board' locos and also their 'DCC Sound' locos.
When are the first ones due for release?
Regarding the 'DCC on board' locos: which decoder has been selected

hi again all
Just wondering where the Trix range of products lay quality-wise against
Wrenn, Hornby, etc.
Any info appreciated

We have a new website that is going to be a good one. If you guys are
looking for a place to chat and talk about any scale Model RR this is the
place for it. http://www.thewhistlepost.com/ 

Being a novice at model railroading I finally have my track laid after
starting over a few times! I have a couple of questions that I need
advice on.
1 What is the best way to lay ballast?

Latest project scheduled for the "dining table workshop" is a BR-era
"Director" in lined mixed-traffic black. Can anyone advise on suitable
back issues of RM for a drawing by either Nick Campling or Ian Beattie?

All,
I've been away a long time. I had to sift through about 4000 messages
