Red carded locos and stock from Stow should be good to go except D843 which needs a visit to Swindon for a new sound chip..... have lost a couple of Loksound V4s now, the amps seem to fail Phil 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 3, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hi Andy Absolutely - please do! Just had a good lunch of sausage baps, loading van next then on the road - evening labours this week should mean all our main line signals are now operational and embedded in routes - no more SPADSs!

250BOB Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Very much enjoyed Abbotswood at DEMU exbn yesterday, made lots of return visits and every time there was action in abundance....sound locos adding greatly to the interest. But for me, it is the operation that stands out. Realistic slow running freights, acceleration and deceleration rates spot on. And even the last wagon disappearing into the fiddle yard out of view at the same slow speed. Well done Phil, and also your team who remain anonymous behind the curtains. Thanks too for the ECoS demo and letting me have a go too. Best operated layout in show for me.!! Bob. Edited June 5, 2016 by 250BOB 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ess1uk Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I've only got to page 10 for on this thread but today I've seen the layout for real at DEMU and it's very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 6, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Thanks to all for the kind comments. It was a pleasure to be there despite the torrid journey up to Burton on Friday - 3 hours for what took one and a half on Sunday to get home. The layout behaved pretty well with one exception - when sorting out actuation the up main bracket had been installed too close to the up main line and most stock running past fouled it on Saturday - hence Jim's photo of the attempted fettling in progress. At least I was only two feet under at the time. A bit of adjustment on Saturday evening and likewise a repair to one of the cranks on the up loop bracket on Sunday morning meant that we were fully signalled for the first time on Sunday. Standing there watching the signals pull off certainly does it for me although with up and down routes being set at the same time the bobby must be pretty athletic to be leaping around the frame at that speed. We were so exhausted we didn't leave our accommodation in the evenings but the beer was still pretty good at the local grill house. John Guy and George kept an eye that we were all ok - and I must say thanks to the committee for inviting us, we had a great time. Also a special thanks to Steve and his partner for the help with unloading and shifting on Friday. Best purchase all weekend? A ten pound fan from Morrisons helped us keep our cool.
