I have this crazy dream of building the Stockton & Darlington one day. Any primitive engine up to the mid 1830s would be acceptable on it.

Need an animated horse though.

What about that rope/gravity coal truck affair they had up near Springwell/Gateshead - now that would be an interesting one to tackle!

He he he

ooops sorry, its xmas

Ho Ho Ho.

That must be a hell of a lot more powerful than the original one.
I like the Triang wheels.

some more really early loco's would be fantastic, both the rocket model and the novelty model we have in the library are outstanding little loco's

i think the other competitor in the rainhill trials the 'sans pariel' ? would be an excellent one for someone to try at and then of course there's locomotion, and puffing billy, Planet etc.

would be great to see all of them on an early activity (altho if they were all together it wud have to be a very fictional activity lol)

the NYMR when steam first took over and there was a rope incline at Beckhole would be good!

Should be easy for a skilled animated scenery modeller! Or just lay the incline with real track and make a coal wagon as a very powerful engine, and use AI to maake them reverse up and down all day...

Getting your horse (engine) to climb up on a Dandy cart might be a trickier one to figure out...

Hi
Theres a version on the Austrian site which comes with a cart.

That's a more accurate model. Still a little large perhaps but better detail. Can you give a link please?

davidaward · Post by **davidaward** » Fri Feb 06, 2004 12:40 pm

ep its still a bit too large, I'll find a real pic of it next to a person

Dam beaten to the MStrainstop version, glad someone posted it though, the other one was a bit odd.

Nice model

Incidentally, no accurate drawings exist of the Penydarren, so no-one can be certain what it looked like anyway
