rob D2 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 That Lidl car park always seems to be full when I try to park there. They should set aside a part for railway enthusiasts.....Best wishes Scott.Peter They should flog display cabinets in the car park... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Is there much freight at EH Scott ? In my era of interest there was the bitumen, propane tanks, fuel oil tanks, crude oil tanks and of course the MOD, and containers. Most of that is gone now, even the holy Bourne tanks going soon I hear. Is it still busy ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I had 3/4 of an hour at Didcot and again at Eastleigh on Thursday Morning on my to Portsmouth to attend a funeral so had some time. Just one 66 parked up at Didcot, and a Colas 70 parked up at Eastleigh, then a Double headed Freightliner 66 out of Maritime and stopped for the Crew Change, a couple of DBS / DB Cargo and a Freightliner up the Yard. It's all changed in the yard opposite the Station since I was last there some few years ago, but gave me some great ideas. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 It's still reasonable; with a variety of freights plus the visitors in and out of the works. There's still a bit of shunting that goes on and movements around the virtual quarry. The Fawley trains stop at the end of the week but the mod still runs as and when. I like it there and keeps me entertained. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Andy, wonder if you saw 66109 on the Marchwood train on Thursday? Here is the return Marchwood MOD - Eastleigh coming off the Fawley branch at Totton last Thursday. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Evening, Tonight I decided to try and renumber my Bachmann EWS 08. I've got some Fox transfers, however they seem too large (lengthways) to fit in the space. Bit of a pain as I was looking forward to getting it done. I've emailed Railtec to see if they can help. If you're interested I'm renumbering it to 08904 of course, the EH shunter.. But in the mean time it will remain anonymous! I've also done a bit more ballasting and day dreaming about the next baseboard stage. Back to work tomorrow so I guess that's modelling time over for a few days.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlandModeler Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Looking really good so far, can't wait to see how this layout unfolds. There is definitely a lot of potential here. All the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pompeydave Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Sorry to hear about your circumstances Scott. Hopefully things are on the up. Nice to see you still have enough enthusiasm to model. Be nice to see you at EH one day. Take care Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Evening.. Today I decided to call it quits with model railways.. For the time being anyway.. I haven't been out to the garage for some time now. I think if I'm honest that whilst I was having issues in my personal life; this was an escape. Now that the issues are over it kind of seems redundant. As a result the majority of my locos and the barrier coaches are on a well known auction site as of tonight. The rolling stock will follow at some point. Thank you to everyone who has shown an interest and offered suggestions and support towards the model railway and my life! Rmweb is a great community and I'll still be apart of it; I'll just be more of an armchair modeller for now.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jamest Posted October 17, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hi Scott, Different things suit us at different times of our lives. Sounds like you have a good circle of friends who will let you play trains if the urge returns. Might be a bit late, but don't sell all your rolling stock if you have the room to store it, you never know what you might fancy doing in the future and you can bet it will be twice as expensive to buy again. All the best, James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted October 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2016 Glad I convinced you not to sell up Scott.....Never EVER.....SELL YOUR TRAINS! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2016 thanks for talking him out of it, i was watching a few items then noticed they were no longer available so i hoped scott had reconsidered, although that colas 60 had my name on it damn you! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmweb is a great community and I'll still be apart of it; I'll just be more of an armchair modeller for now.. Well I seem quite shocked by this announcement - it's no use Scott - resistance is futile....! - you always seem to have some good stuff going on and your decision seems a bit rash to say the least. I had (have?) no time whatsoever these last few months only enough to sadly dismantle the garage roundy layout partially due to a teenage son moving on to other things.Only project I have is a resurrected attempt from the bits box on the go which I kept coming back to and started a new thread today - glad I didn't bin it as it is something to do over the Winter - nothing on a grand scale but something nevertheless. Worth considering. Ian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Good luck and do stay with the community as many for various reasons do not actively model I had a 10 year break from model railways, or rather from any modelling (golf got in the way), however getting back into modelling (was started by starting to clear the loft and starting to sell the items I had no use for. As it is I caught the bug again to model. Sometimes we just need a break and do something else 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted October 22, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 22, 2016 Don't worry everyone, two weeks today Scott is spending the day with five members of the 'Tidworth on the road crew' on the ' Andover Fist' railtour. By the end of the day he'll be desperate to get modelling again! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparxD428 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Sorry to hear of that decision mate. Maybe just pack it all up in boxes for the time being, close the door or put it all in to storage. Maybe one day you'll decide to dig it all out again. See you in a fortnight on the tour bud. All the best Stu 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
