Early Roundhouse Billy - Live Steam Garden Railway
This Billy was built in the early 90's and has been owned from new by Michael Taylor. I recently fitted a Summerlands Chuffer and this was its first test on my railway, and indeed its first steaming in many years. It ran like a Swiss watch with the Slomo wagon, Binnie granite wagons and a 40 year old, scratch built brake van. For the second steaming Michael added his scratch built tender. Control is by the original 40 MHz set, which worked perfectly.

7/8ths Scale Mamod SL1 - Live Steam garden Railway
Переглядів 568Місяць тому
This is the latest rebuild of my old Mamod SL1. Bought as a kit in 1983, it was my first live steam loco. I rebuilt it as radio control with a tender, then as a Heywood type loco, and recently as the loco you see here. It has replacement cylinders, regulator, gas burner and wheels, plus a lubricator, but the boiler is still the original. Here it hauls the Slomo wagon and then a couple of small ...
7/8ths Live Steam Garden Railway - A Converted Locobox Sophie
Переглядів 1 тис.3 місяці тому
Here is the first steaming of Hodder after conversion to 7/8ths" scale where it represents a small, 18" gauge estate loco. Holder is hauling my Slomo wagon plus a small train of Modelearth basic series wagons. The loco has extra weight at the front and handles the debris on the track with ease! Incidentally, as this is a rare loco, the conversion is fully reversible to 16mm scale in about 30 mi...
16mm Locobox Sophie with Slomo Wagon

This 20 year old Sophie is on test, hauling a Slomo wagon that weighs 4 lbs (1.8 Kg). and has an inertia device. The test ran 'bunker' first and chimney first and worked well on my twisty and undulating railway.
7/8ths" Scale Regner - Live Steam Garden Railway
Переглядів 5445 місяців тому
My much modified Regner Chaloner is hauling empty tippers in freezing temperatures. The Summerlands FX Control is wide open for steam effects so I have added a little cheerful music. It was too cold for me - so it's only a short film. The first three tippers are from Simply 7/8ths and the last two are 3D printed by a friend.
Summerlands 7/8ths Edrig - Live Steam Industrial Railway
Переглядів 8937 місяців тому
My latest Accucraft Edrig conversion is a 7/8ths" scale tender loco with radio control on the regulator and an SSP Slomo in the tender. The inspiration was found in the fictional "Slate Railway to Churchwater" by Brian Clarke and the basis was my earlier 16mm scale conversion videoed as Bert Webster (Edrig's Tender). He was a top link GWR driver (my wife's granddad) so the huge roundel is a not...
Roundhouse George at the SLR
Переглядів 7067 місяців тому
This ex-Summerlands George now belongs to Mike Jackson who brought it round in October to show me the latest wired, magnetic couplings from Porterhouse Models. These not only give instant coupling, but also electrical continuity for coach lighting etc. It was a windy day and we were not planning to video, but I took a few shots which I have now stitched together. There is rather too much steam ...
7/8ths Accucraft edrig
Переглядів 70310 місяців тому
My Edrig has been upscaled to 7/8ths scale with inspiration from Sir Arthur Heywood's locos and with a little of Dean's GWR approach (polished brass and safety valve bonnet from DJB). Here Bluebell is hauling Bole Laser Craft Sand Hutton type wagons and a freelance tool van - plus a slomo wagon.

Hesperus was a wreck, but after a rebuild and a few years rest, he runs beautifully. Here he is at the Summerlands Light Railway hauling Binnie granite wagons and a scratch built brake van from the 1980's.
Heritage Roundhouse Steam - Double Headed
Переглядів 479Рік тому
My 1983 Lady Anne and 1984 Charles Pooter (both spirit/meths fired) are hauling granite wagons from Binnie Engineering and an old Angel brake van. Lady Anne is manual and Hesperus is radio controlled, which presented a challenge. Lady Anne ran out of steam in the final shot so you can hear Hesperus' wheels spinning as it takes the full load!
Narrow gauge steam in the garden - mixed goods with a Slomo wagon
Переглядів 830Рік тому
A much modified Roundhouse Lady Anne in the style of the Lynton & Barnstaple Manning Wardles hauled a mixed freight of Accucraft and Brandbright wagons. The first wagon behind the loco has my old Slomo which was a pre-production prototype so it groans a bit! It was filmed on my iPhone in bright sunlight so I couldn't see the screen to frame the shots. What you see is the result.....
16mm Accucraft Large Quarry Hunslet - Live Steam
Переглядів 744Рік тому
This superb loco is seen here at half its actual speed as the loco is manual and with a heavy load of Binnie skips filled with concrete needed quite a bit of regulator to cope with the gradients. This made the clips too fast for a relaxing video! It had just been fitted with a Summerlands Chuffer, which gives a soft, but distinctive chuff that sounds deeper at half speed. After filming, the loc...
Live Steam Garden Railway - 7/8ths Modified Regner Chaloner
Переглядів 1,2 тис.Рік тому
An Easter outing on the Summerlands Works Railway is hauled by a much modified Regner Chaloner. The Penrhyn type open coaches are currently supplied by Houston Gate Loco Works and the Ffestiniog Sentry Box box brake van is probably one by RMC Models. The wonderful figures are all inspired by Rob Bennett and either produced by him or by Model Earth Design as Short Staff. All filmed using an iPho...

Here is my Roundhouse 7/8ths scale hybrid (Bertie with Katie valve gear and saddle tank) hauling my noisy prototype Slomo wagon plus some winter fuel. The Summerlands FX control is wide open to give the best steam effects but there is still plenty of chuff!
7/8ths Scale Live Steam

Here is my modified Roundhouse Millie hauling an early prototype SSP Slomo wagon and scratch built coal tubs on the Summerlands Light Railway. The Chuffer is fully closed for maximum chuff! The old wagon is a bit noisy but works a treat with Millie - much to my surprise. Filmed with iPhone 12 Pro in poor light and edited on my phone.
