Partially completed Covadonga HEP. Most water features are natural or ornamental. This one is industrial !!!

Inspired by Carl's live diesel I thought that it would be worth generating my own electricity to power the OHW industrial line to be built.
For now though the miniature generators are not connected because the UK water authorities are not keen to provide free electricity via
their mains. ('')

I think you copied and pasted the photo addresses as links instead of images.

I've pasted them as images as you can see now.

Interesting idea and intriguing construction.

Thanks Carl.

This is a really nice and inspiring railway, something to aim for. I really like the homemade buffers. I look forward to more pics.

BTW David how is your live diesel coming on please?

Carl, no progress on the live diesel since early 2010 due to time constraints.

All efforts have gone into completing the extension to the railway, which is well behind schedule and will not be completed now until mid October. Additionally I had to cancel the mini open day due to lack of progress.

I expect to get back onto the live diesel from November, when outside work is much less attractive in the UK.

Some great work here! I love the scratchbuilded rolling stock!
Great layout also; I never seen pneumatic controlled turnouts before. Very inventive!

Hi David

could you possibly take some photos of how the bogies are attached to your loco and email me them please:

and could you also have a picture of your hand or something i can relate to next to the loco so as i can get the scale or size of your machine please?

What a wonderful railway......a credit to you David.
Please post some more photos, any aspect would be good.

KleineDicke thank you sooooooo much...i didnt know that and you may have just saved me there..

thank you

Osborne bullocks.

No not a reference to Wednesdays UK budget but the fact that I have underscaled my brandy advert at about 30%. I guess it should have been about 55% and hope my son. who enjoys filing aluminium, will make me a bigger one.

Question for Patrick. Are these illuminated at night.

Nice idea! That will ad some extra ambience to your layout.

I don't know for sure, but I think these are not lighted at night (at least not standard, perhaps some are).

Many pictures, also by night/twilight, can be found on:
The worlds best photo's of Osborne bulls

Paulus - loved the pictures on that link.

David - I have never seen one that is artificially lit but there are so many that it is possible some exist. Great idea BTW.

A little more progress on the ornamental section of the railway.
By ornamental I mean not protypically realistic and minimum maintenance, mainly agregate.
