NMRA British Region Forum

Hi John, yep unfortunate this one, it clashes with something at Bearwood also I think - yes we're planning to do this kind of thing regularly (a couple of times a year maybe) but no set dates as yet.

The November Trains mag (just picked one up from my local Smiths) is all about 'How Railroads Work' - with several articles related to things that might help with ops - the info is fairly generalised but not a bad primer...

I'm part of the crew for RS Tower, which is a 27'x11' exhibition layout - we were at Peterborough during the convention weekend and Andy Gautrey helped us out as an operator - he also provided this great reefer block... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0n-VapRqpc The concept is a midwestern town wher...

Hi Brian - will do. From memory there was a pair of DRGW cement hoppers, the acid tank car and a couple of reefers...will sort you a list.

Latest additions to the roster - a pair of Kato SD9043MACs, INRD9002 and 9005 - detail bits added, some minor paint and a little weathering for effect - DCC chips currently awaited.... http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8043/8139460746_24d4332d5f_c.jpg SAM_0889 by GloriousNSE , on Flickr http://farm9.sta...

Final module setup for this meet:

Topic now split - discussion on modelling the normal and realism went here: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=102&p=296#p296

I tend to also follow Brian's way of thinking - it's too easy to end up with a pastiche instead of something that looks like the real thing. I was 'mentored' (for want of a better word) in railway modelling on a layout called New Annington, UK, 00, and strictly modern (+/- 2 year rule) - we had a ru...

Hi Brian, for some reason the short Youtu.be links don't work right in the tags I set up, you need to use the full length link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1rp9ZjhhW0 (click on options under the link on the youtube site and there's a tickbox for the long link) If I can find a way to change that (...

Linking images through may be a little tricky at first, but once you learn how to do it it'll become second nature!However it's complicated slightly by all the various photo sites having slightly different methods of presenting the code you want... First up, take a look at the instruction thread htt...

No probs Brian, just trying to spread the message.

Pics from external sites like that don't affect our server load, it goes on Photobucket's - but if you'll be deleting them that's an issue as eventually you'll have threads with the dreaded 'red Xs'

Shot you a PM (Private Message) on your image hosting issue Martin, let me know what you find - I'm sure we can get you sorted.

Have shot you an email with my version as mentioned above.

Presume that's got the post order one sorted? I've looked into the link one and it requires some code change, I think it's a good idea and I'll discuss it with Peter and we'll see what I can do. Ref to remind me... https://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/links-opening-new-windows/ In the interim you'll hav...

Looks great Brian - excellent photo's too. :) Did you know you can use photo's from your photobucket site here just by pasting in the img tag code next to them? http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy86/santafe1958/Deadwood%20City%20Railroad/DSCF0463.jpg Or there's a clickable thumbnail version... htt...
