There is! The locomotive and stock are now staying firmly on the track but are only travelling at 1.8 mph when there maximum speed is 15mph, so there is something wrong with the blueprint somewhere, I am slowly rewriting them so that will take some time

Good news Kris. This is an interesting project.

Great news. I'm quite interested in building a smallish "layout" with this gauge so keep up the good work!

Bit of topic but I think the Dobwalls stock found a home in Dorset somewhere rather than Australia. I'll see if theres a link

There is quite a nice model railway in Clevedon, including one of a US Santa Fe Steam locomotive. Which is unfortunately diesel powered.

Its a sad fact that its the last railway still in Clevedon. It used to have 2.

Dobwalls stock sold first to a UK fellow then forward onto an australian in Melbourne.

Hey there Paul, welcome to the dark side.

I'm not too familiar with this gauge though I do remember Dobwalls, brilliant

How's it going mate? Off topic here but I believe someone's started the MRB in RW.

Just when I had it on my list.

Off topic, yeah I've nearly finsihed route building wise, but I don't think I'll be bothering with the 5 and 3ft lines, it would be nice but a bit of hassle.

You never know if Kyle's project here picks off after he's finished his skip, who knows I might be able to substitute for 7 1/4.

Anyway excellent work Kyle, a very original idea!

Lewis, I think you mean Kris not Kyle, two totally different people

Oh dear!

Yes I do mean Kris, apologies. That's me and late night posts for you!

They've both got class 67 numbers for names, that's probably why I got confused

Thanks for pointing that out David
