Hi Grahame and team, I too am attending the Glasgow show as an (the) operator on my mate's new layout, called Top Yard. On Saturday he told me it still wasn't finished, so I may be demonstrating how to build a small layout in three days. Any tips after your telly appearance? See you all on Thursday evening. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted February 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2020 Enjoyed watching Shap yesterday. I quite liked the Shap Summit viewpoint and watching the bankers come off and back down to ‘Tebay’. (Easier to get in to see as well!). The train listing was very helpful too. Well done folks: good modelling and good entertainment too. Paul. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Was it my imagination or do the steam locos get more and more weathered as the sequence progresses? I think I saw the whole sequence today, very enjoyable to watch even if the 50 at the end has been involved in an accident and now has wonky buffers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNER4479 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Preliminary examination of D400 did not detect any wonky / damaged buffers. EE Type 4 was observed to have a buffer that had popped out of its mounting when setting up on Thursday so may be a case of mistaken identity? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly so (and well spotted). There are one or two locos still awaiting the weathering shop but generally we do indeed try to weather according to era, usually based on a representative photo or two. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be because I had already straightened one and unjammed the other. Not, I might add, by judicious use of a high speed rear impact either. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
