Hi Ed, Yes, a lot of those photos were taken at Rugby I remember seeing a photo of the Garratt pulling all those passengers - it may have been in Model Engineer. John

Hello everyone I'm new here and I live in Belgium. Here the 2.5 gauge is not popular. To my knowledge there is only one track, which is in Antwerp. (KMYCA) I have made a "dyack" and a "Hunslet" on 2.5 gauge.
Marc, on one of your photos,( www.flickr.com/photos/77564639@N04/9369088311/ ) Can you tell me more about that? Existence of these drawings?

Hi Dirk,
The loco looks like a Dyak. The drawings and castings are available from GLR Kennions.
Looks striking in crimson I think

Dirk,
Apologies, I miss read your post. I'd like to have said I had been on the ale when I replied but no such luck as an excuse.
We have a similar looking part built loco like the LMS one down our club passed on my a former member. Everyone thinks it's a Dyak but the cylinders are wrong.
I'll await the proper answer and let them know
Cheers
Charley

wow. I've been wanting to see a photo of a 2.5" hunslet ever since i heard of its existence. Any chance of a video Dirk? More photos? It would be highly appreciated. That photo before is not my own, so I am not really sure Cheers Marc

The Hunslet drives fine, maybe I will soon make a movie of it. Do you want pictures of the locomotive under construction? I have not made use of castings. Dirk

Hey Dirk If it doesn't take too long then I would love too see the photos during construction, how long did it take to build? How many people has she pulled before? It's a lovely engine, and the detail you have included makes it look great! Well done. Hopefully my Toby will come out looking something similar. I'm thinking I could make Toby look similar to Prince on the ffestiniog. If you do make a movie, I would love to see the light up, firing and driving. These types of videos in 2.5" are almost non-existence. Thanks a million Marc

Marc oops, I notice that I delete a lot of pictures. Here, there are still a few. The Hunslet is a simple model, I thought I built it in less than 7 months A "toby" should easily built in half a year. A film I'll try to make this summer On the track I ride often. I much prefer building. Dirk

Hi Dirk Thats for these pictures, defintely encouraging. I've just ordered the steel for the frames for Toby. Hopefully I will have it built before 2016, when I'm back in the UK with 2.5" tracks xD. I might defintely consider a 2.5" hunslet though, it really appeals to me. Cheers Marc
