RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 A note on the last picture............. The fiddle yard can be seen in the foreground. Dunster will be placed in front of this for a temporary set up just to have some fun while I construct 38inches more of Goathland and get started on Queensbury! One day Dunster will reoccupy the attic room and a much reduced version of Minehead will be made (if I live long enough that is!)!!. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 WOWSER Shaun, some great shots mate and so much detail, fantastic job, my personal two favorites have to be the shot into the Goods Yard with the illuminated Signal Box, and the Loco coming out under the Foot Bridge. Great shots buddy. Bodge. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi Andy Wow you're up early. Or is it me up late...............What ever. There are more videos uploading as I type. Good to know you're feeling better and nice to catch you on here! Shaun. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 In the second video you can hear the old Airfix/mainline slogger struggle as she hits the incline on the viaduct then watch her lean over slightly. This is what I want to capture with model trains! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 3 more..............yawn............ They're not very good .Need to get organized with some decent lighting. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Sorry for the wait guys and gals. The garage dry wall is finished so I got in there Friday and Saturday and gave it a coat of primer. Then......... I took Dunster apart and began moving all the parts into the garage/train hall! Today with the help of Mrs. Sasquatch we began with the assembly of Goathland. After sorting many electrical problems the layout is up and running. So without further ado here are some pictures which I hope show different views than those posted before. Absolute bliss....really pleased to see the layout out of mothballs.....and great new pictures....and Honeydukes in a first picture.....no Harry????? That Abbey is looking gorgeous....I should start playing with the stuff you sent me..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yeah.... I wanna paint all the structures the same way I did the abbey. And as for the moth balls, well let's just say it took ages to get the spiders webs orf! Will dig out some modern stuff tomorrow! ( don't hold ya breath though)........... HAhaha.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock67B Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Fantastic work Shaun, you really have captured the atmosphere. The photos and vids provide a great deal of inspiration to someone like me who is still at the drawing board stage. Suffice to say, with your permission of course, I shall refer back to your thread to crib ideas! Can't wait for the next set and I can understand now why Jaz was so impatient to see these, Keep it up, Kind regards, Jock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I love the abbey ruins. Someday want some on my layout when I extend it. The viaduct going into the tunnel is done very well. Love the village below it. Reminds me of Pensford in Somerset that I saw last summer and hope to model some day. I wish I could have done as well with the track plan of Goathland as you did. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweven Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Wonderful pictures and video Shaun, looking forward to more! Cheers John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The thing that still continues to amaze is....is many of us bought the latest Hornby Goathland station with the lovely back.....Sasquatch had an early version and the latest one wasn't available.then..... so he UPGRADED HIS MODEL !!!!!!!! Excellent piece of work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hoping the repaints will improve them. I have a whole drawer full of detail bits to go on, several wagon purchases that match the wagons at the station, a sheet of ply, some points, track etc. for the extension and an uncoupling system ready to go on too!! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 22, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Having trouble editing in Youtube so these are a bit lengthy and the camera doesn't take good videos but what the hell I'll post them anyhow. They wont embed so here are the links. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlYpfYAlbN4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSt18k077nU This one is for Jaz who requested some modern trains. Local DMU service and the class 16 pulling the fish finger express! Weird yes but what a nice train it makes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thROi43N3wsI've no idea why it came out fuzzy.

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 22, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2014 Spent the evening running trains and shunting the yard with my mini shunters pole (a dentists hook thingy) The little Bachmann J72 is a great runner and perfect for the job of shuffling stock about the station. GNR 062 number 1763 is a favorite of mine. Hornby did a good job with the motor upgrade and the livery is exquisite. The signal cabin has the wrong name, something from "Pottershire". Am adding that to my to do list. Here's a couple of shots from the village in Pottershire. Hope you enjoyed. Squatch. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock67B Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Shaun, Enjoyed is too bland a word to describe the joy these pics give me! Well done mate, and look forward to images of the progress when you get time! Kind regards, Jock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 22, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hi Jock mate. Glad you liked the pics, it makes it well worth while putting them up. There's more here but we're off to bed as it's past midnight I'll do it in the morning. Right before I go up the barn to make the extension board. I'll do a step by step on open frame base board construction as I go. Regards Shaun. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 22, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2014 A tour of the goods facilities at Goathland. 4744 rests by the livestock pens. A NE built hopper on the coal drops. This is a Slaters kit and is an essential piece of kit for any Goathland model, it goes together very nicely and might make a good starting point for anyone wishing to venture into wagon kit building. Hint hint!!! A brake van line up in the sidings. All from kits. The loco sand wagon was kit bashed from a Slaters 7plank. The shortest van is also kit bashed from the old Parkside LNER toad, shortened to represent the earlier NE dia.V4. middle one is a Slaters kit and the right hand one is kit bashed Airfix back dated to the LNER type. Exquisit Bachmann Ivatt mogul with a short Parcels coming off the viaduct. Back of the tea rooms building viewed under the arch. Another pic of the abbey. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted July 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2014 Stunning as always. Every time I see a picture of your abbey I want to buy a bigger house! The shot of the lit house windows through the arch is great. Is the black car parked, or just run onto the grass by the green one driving up the middle o the road?

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 22, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yes they are train watching! You'll quite often find people parked up there! There is also a bench for just such a purpose but the model one is missing at present. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 23, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2014 Here's some pics of the extra 38" section about to be made. Details here are 1:Increased height along retaining wall. 2: 10 MPH speed restriction 3: Mile post 4: Facing point lock. 5: Point rodding crosses under track. 6: Catch point 7: Manual point lever? 8: Detonator placer ? Not sure about this one because the point rodding has only 3 runs. This is Will's/Hornbyandbf3fan avatar picture. Compression is necessary for this model and the line from Queensbury must cross here so I thought a curve to the left and hide the Queensbury- hidden loops line behind the trees. First a full scale drawing to see if this idea will fit! Oh oh lightning storm and power cut. That's not good what with the fire danger at extreme. More from me later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted July 23, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2014 Nice storm we had the smell of summer rain is so good! So here is a pic of where the new bit will fit in......... 105 class DMU arriving. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
