Re: Kent & North Wales Light Railway: New Boy
A Swift Sixteen "Tin Turtle" Simplex, as used at the front during WWI, but returned home to serve on the K&NWLR. Lined out by Berry Hill Works, and shown here pulling the directors´ saloon coach on the Kent side of the line. Video link below.

Re: Kent & North Wales Light Railway: New Boy
That was good timing! There is a 'trains and beer' day at Leighton Buzzard on 16 May and I need to book seats behind a 1:1 Simplex, so the reminder is appreciated
Your cellar really is the gold standard for our hobby, inspiring and depressing me in almost equal measures, when I stop watching and look out on the soggy half-finished mess in my back garden!!!

Re: Kent & North Wales Light Railway: New Boy
Many thanks. The cellar however has no heating except for two Dyson towers and at 6 x 14 x 2.5m volume, trust me, there´s not a great difference to the world outside. Not a lot of rain, though, I grant you.

Pics of the line, first of the Kent side, then of the Welsh part, taken to give people a better view of how this 14m x 6m line fits together. Or doesn´t, if you forget to put the bridges linking the two sides back. :-X

Beautiful loco. The livery looks a good match for your fleet too.

Re: Kent & North Wales Light Railway: New Boy
Sorry, for not answering this one before. I personally don´t think everything has to be "exhibition black", but the real reason has to do with the light conditions in the cellar. I used a light grey colour to reflect available light better, knowing that the LED solution (hanging from ceiling) I have would be "difficult". Compromise, compromise ... I know.
