The EJ&KLR: Austrian narrow gauge in Cheshire

Re:The EJ&KLR project

I've spent most of the afternoon reading your blog and looking through this thread and I must say your locos and stock are inspirational! The railway itself is lovely too!
Puts my meagre efforts to shame haha!

Re:The EJ&KLR project

It seems an age since trains ran properly on the EJ&KLR, but today the sun shone, the bitter shandy flowed and trains rolled round. Alex my 1 year old enjoyed eating the controller (Helmsman quality!) and running his green Stainz in between Daddy's Blauturm Lxd2.

When I download the photos from my good camera I'll share a few more and who knows, I may even get a little more running in tomorrow morning!

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Thanks Oliver, it's a styrene kit from a German manufacturer - took me most of my modelling time last year to build and finish:

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Thanks Gary - you'll like these then (24 photos in total so bear with) - these are off my decent camera from yesterday. I never really got any good photos of the Faur before, so excuse the rather excessive quantity!

Nothing beats the Spring colors in a garden layout.
Its only a matter of time before your little one starts controling. Mine started at age 3. Now he is 4 and has become an expert at it.

Re:The EJ&KLR project

As you might have seen I've been re-working my Liliput diesel with a scratch built bonnet and LGB cab. Today Elly and I finished renumbering her Stainz (she airbrushed gloss black over the old numbers herself a weekend ago). This also has had a front number plate added from styrene.

Anyway, since both engines are now ready for satin varnish they are sat together and it reminded me of the photos of their first run, Christmas 2010...

Today...

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Well a good afternoon of running on the EJ&KLR today. The LGB/Liliput Kof bash and the repainted 2-axle coaches saw action along with a lot of other stock that hasn't been run for quite a while. These photos are split by subject (a new post per train), but were taken all day hence the different light levels... Enjoy

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Elly's repainted Stainz also saw action with her bar/dining car...

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Next up a comparison of the two EJ&KLR diesels...

 

[jameshilton]

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Then the LGB/Liliput diesel bash was put into action with various short freights...
(note the EJ&KLR on the back of the drivers jacket!)

 

[jameshilton]

Re:The EJ&KLR project

The 2095 was also on the new 2-axle coaches...

 

[jameshilton]

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Finally (for today) I ran my Frank S tank conversion on various passenger and freight turns using the newly repainted coaches and open wagon...

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Great photo's James line is looking very colourful

Re:The EJ&KLR project

Mouth watering pictures James, the two axel coaches are a super conversion/enhancement, as already noted by many
