In a few weeks those werekittens will out run the London tram or ambush it on the curves. It will be a minature version of Molly and Tenbrooks. ( Ten Brooks out ran the Memphis train.) Famous American horse race.

Ralph, the prototypes for your locos were whimsey[swg]

[cabbage]

Thomas,

I could get Sheila to focus the camera for you....

As to 'Whimsies' -I have never been one to build one. I simply trust to human nature and copy what someone has built before!!!

Due to house moving, all locomotive and model making -is 'on hold'. I have all the required parts for loco 11, 16mm plans and 'shopping list' for loco 12 and I am vainly searching for a suitable loco for number 13...

People have suggested the St James River engine -but that breaks two of the five selection criteria for me:

1 Did they build more than one of them?
2. Did the improvements make the loco worse?
3. It must be articulated to take tight curves.
4. I would prefer narrow gauge.
5. IS IT UGLY???

All of my locomotives were real -unfortunately....

regards

Vic, try Northwest Shortline. Perhaps a little pricey, but they have lots of different kinds of drives.

Also, the Mac Switcher from Heartland Locomotive Works is cheap, easily bashed and has one bullet proof drive.

Hi Vic
Look at a small scale like HO[:D] that could yield a motor if that dont work go down to a tiny N scale motor a little bit of electronics magic will stop it blowing up with a 24 V power supply

Ralph makes sure I see it when it's on BBC, though something came up and I missed the last episode with the dalek invasion. They're having a Dr. Who "Feature" with 3 episodes every evening, and I'm watching, but not always hearing, it.

BTW: Don't have a deaf guy set up the sound for you[:-,]

I was going to put TARDIS on the suburban's license plates, but Susan though it had been too long since the show was on for people to recognize what it meant[:D]

[tangerine-jack]

Not a TARDIS, even though I have some really good sound bytes of it![;)]

Perhaps something a little more xenophobic and smokey, with a lot of noise?[:p]



That's all I'm giving away for now, you'll have to wait 'til the 12th to see the completed version.[}:)]

Moohaahahhahaahahahah mooohahahahaha mooohahahhaha (evil laugh)[}:)][}:)]

[Tom The Brat]

Travel by TARDIS.

[tangerine-jack]

Looking good, Troy! Hmmm..............I need a little help.............maybe I'll ask this guy


Yeah, could see something related to this on November 12th.........................................[:p]

Now, where did I put that sonic screwdriver?

[Tom The Brat]

Ha!

You've got me topped and I haven't even decided what to do[:D]

[Capt Bob Johnson]

Troy,
Where'd you get that little model of me? Pear is a shape isn't it? Can't be TJ, cause Uncle Sam's Army keeps him slim & tirm!

[Anonymous]

I am not even a garden railroader, but you guys know how to have fun[8D


I am laughing my head off!!!!!!!!

[(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D]

[bman36]

Troy,
That is hilarious. Can't wait to see how it turns out. This promises to be good all right. Later eh...Brian.

Hi TJ
Looks like back to the dog house for you[swg]
regards John

[Capt Bob Johnson]

Geez, TJ, I thought Michelle liked the idea of you playing with trains; or did she finally see that pic you sent me about cutting pizza?

[tangerine-jack]

AH-HA! GOT IT!!!!



OOPS, AW S[censored]T!


[oX)]

[Capt Bob Johnson]

I just figured out TJ's method of propulsion! He's mounted a couple of howitzers on it and using the recoil to push his vehicle along the tracks! He's gonna win cause those howitzers are destroying the tracks behind him and you guys won't be able to make it around the layout!

[Tom The Brat]

hehe!
