Andrew P Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) The Goods Yard is now laid, wired and tested, and it works really well I have to say, Running Goods between Much Dithering and KM Goods plus a Pick up Goods as well will make for interesting operation. The Kings Moreton Goods Yard . The Local Goods leaves Much Dithering. And arrives at Kings Moreton off the Branch Line. And heads into the Goods Yard. And then the Class 22, No 6327 Shunts the Yard. And is then ready to depart. Edited June 10, 2017 by Andrew P 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Andrew P Posted June 10, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2017 Also due to not having a Depot now, I have instead two Stabling Points, the first has been there for some while and is off the Down Goods Lay Bye Loop, as can be seen with the Maroon Western 1065 sitting awaiting a Loco Change from the South Bound Midlands Goods. The other has been installed this morning, and comes off the Point in the Storage Yard that originally fed the Goods Loop through the Station, the Spur is just long enough for a couple of Locos. I've also had a good running session this morning and so some pics of that later. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 That is looking good Andy. I must admit I was surprised that you removed the depot, but I look forward to seeing your scenics develop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrkirtley800 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Andy, should you have double slips in the main line. I admit it is not unknown, but the norm is single slips on main lines and in the trailing direction. Just asking! Otherwise your layout is full of operational possibilities.

Derek Spot on Derek, and I was hoping no one would notice, the fact is, I had the 2 x D/S in stock and wanted to get on with things, and to wait a few days and then trade them in and buy 2 x New S/S would not have been financially viable. I'm afraid it's something I have to live with now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted June 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2017 Andy, should you have double slips in the main line. I admit it is not unknowne.g. Pontrilas, entry to the Up Goods Loop and a layout not dissimilar to yours. Still there in late 70's.Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted June 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi Andy, You look to be having fun with your running session today.

Good idea of yours that Keep up the good work ... oh, and think you might need some sheep for that back embankment ... the grass needs mowing, its changing colour!!!

KNP Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 These pictures look great and fully live up to the vision of diesels sweeping majestically through the countryside. Plenty of work on this layout to keep you going for years.......... Have fun with the ballasting, hope you have brought some by the barrow load! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Morning Guys, and thanks for all the likes etc. I'm now more than happy with the running. Today all the Locos will be put away into the vault as were having a mini break from tomorrow until next weekend, and when I return I'll be concentrating on finishing the wiring, and then making a start on the scenics. I do have a good supply of Ballast, Flock and Static Grass so there'll be no stopping me then. Here's a final set of pics from yesterdays running session. That's it for now folk's, 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Enjoy the break Andy. Will you be back in time for the GC show? Hi Andy, it's only a Mini Break and I'll be back Friday, but won't bother with the GCR Event this year. At £20 it's more than this Old Pensioner can afford, and by the time I've added a breakfast, about 6 cups of coffee and a cream cake or two, it's an expensive day out. hahhaha.
