After all that effort to level and tamp the track, there is still quite a bump where the headshunt joins the turnout. PS I also have a 7 1/4” Planet battery loco, in green, on my Springdale Miniature Railway near the town of Denmark in Western Australia.

I am the builder of Ankor Wat which was built in Cambodia along with its sister engine Ankor Tom, owned and regularly run by a member of Newcastle SME. i feel a little sad that you felt you had to make so many changes. The original local had an interesting history and character. The owner of AT reports much interest in AT's name and background. Upon completion I disassociated them from Romulus which generally thought of as rather crude. Did you know, for example that the valve gear was designed by the late Don Ashton. I designed AW as a working engine with ease of maintenance in mind, look at the design of drain cocks for example. The stainless firegrate. Just about all the pipework can be removed without a major stripdown. You now have another green saddle tank!

Hello Harold and thank you for contacting us. We should start by explaining that we do not own the loco, it is a long term guest loco on our line whilst the owners are building their own railway. It’s very interesting to hear the history of this loco. Amazing that they were both built in Cambodia and assumably shipped over to the UK at some point? We shall certainly pass this information over to the owners. Thanks again, SLR.

What a wonderful railway…congratulations! If the locos aren’t the star of the show (and they must be really!) the rolling must surely be rather special too! The miniature historic carriages are a delight…I think they’ll look great when they’re illuminated inside! The freight rolling stock is interesting to see…very few 7.25in railways have a good selection of freight stock. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your great little railway. If you’re prepared to share more details (length of track, history, etc.,) I really would enjoy reading it. I live in Bournemouth but have got a really good friend who farms ‘on the levels’ in Long Sutton. Now he’s retired perhaps I can persuade him to take on the huge task of building a railway too! But what a commitment eh? I can sit here and dream….more of the same please. Rob in Bournemouth.

Hi Rob Firstly many thanks for your kind comments! The railway was first started 5 years ago, it's still on going with plans for further extension. It was built in stages by myself, now retired and my two son's, so a family project. Ironically the biggest boost for the line came along with the covid lockdown as my youngest son was furloughed for three months so we set about building the timber viaduct. Everything has been built on a budget, track points etc all being built by us. When the viaduct was completed I carried on with help from the boys at weekends to reach the station with it's passing loop and then the triangular junction to complete the circuit. A particular interest of mine is historical coaches having a few years ago completely restored a full size one for the Statfold Barn Railway. I decided it would be nice to build some to scale for the railway, the first two based on Glyn Valley coaches currently running on the Talyllyn railway. The third coach is also based on Talyllyn stock but painted in our purple lake livery, there is also a forth coach currently under construction in our workshop. We also have plans to build more goods stock as well. Youngest son James is responsible for the video's, he narrates them, we like to keep things on the humorous side and there will be more to come. Many thanks for supporting the channel hopefully this has been of help. Regards, Michael Collins

We’re not too sure what powers Clunky in all honesty, with the clutch and throttle operated by some bits off a motorbike it’s possible the engine is off something along those lines. The forward and reverse gearbox we think might be off a small marine boat.

Hello KaicoGG, Edward Watkin is actually a Station Road Steam General Gordon class loco with a few additional extras, the paint code matches our own Stafford class loco again built by Station Road Steam. The owners of Edward Watkin were trying to create a likeliness of Talyllyn’s Tom Rolt. Tom Rolt is a unique creation to the Talyllyn Railway using parts from an Andrew Barclay locomotive built in 1949.

Im the builder of AW and AT. They were constructed in Cambodia with boilers made by GB boilers and shipped out. Valve gear designed by the late Don Ashton. The engines have roller bearings in major running parts, case hardened valve gear and stainless fire grate. I dont consider them as Romulus any more!

I love your railway. What beautifully made carriages you have, in that scale you could nearly get a child in them. I do hope your track system of slotting the sleepers doesn't give you trouble over the winter. I have used steel rail on my 5" garden railway but it's all held down with stainless steel screws, so I can easily swap a sleeper over when they rot.
