1/35 mine with narrow gauge railway.

My grand daughter really enjoyed playing trains,
It is now on free standing legs and board number 2 has been assembled.
I now need to sort my room out to accommodate them.

[zak]

The main working feature on board 2 will be this.

Any ideas?

[MSea]

Will it lift the train onto a different level ??

One of those travelling bucket thingy's.

[zak]

It is for loading the V skip wagons, so almost on the right lines.
This picture may help.

That should keep you busy for a while Dave. Looks like you've got a good start.

The basic concept works, it now needs detail added, rivets and so on and the cab.

Blimey. That's what I call scratch building. Magic.

This build is something special.

Hi Zak,
great stuff.
This reminds me of the excavator at Beamish Open air Museum.
