Tram loco
Another loco getting a makeover, this time a Perfect World tram loco. The main alteration is replacing a rather insubstantial plastic chassis with a more robust chain-drive version from Andel Models .

New retirement, new blog
Evening all. Not really new retirement, been doing it for about nine months, but it seems like nine days. Maybe it's true that time speeds up once you stop work.
This is intended to be a periodic update on my garden railway activities, which started twenty years or so ago and have involved a number of lines of varying sophistication and location. A pictorial history is here. The latest, and probably last, incarnation is the St Aubyn Light Railway. I am rebuilding it from a continuous-run dual-gauge line into two separate lines, one 32mm gauge single-track with return loops and one dual-gauge electrified out-and-back shuttle.
To start with, this is a picture of a Baltimore and Ohio loco which I am motorising with an Essel Engineering chassis, and converting it from 45 to 32mm gauge in the process.
