P.C.M Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Question. I have seen pics of MK3 Buffet coaches in the Holyhead - Euston trains, but the only pics I can find are 1989 so out of my 1985 1987 time period. Did MK3 buffet coaches turn up on Holyhead - Euston trains in my time period? Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post P.C.M Posted November 14, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2014 After having a running session the other week I didn't feel like doing more scenic work on the layout so I haven't really done much at all. The other night I thought a quick project would get me back into doing things again. Here is the result, I made the wheels smaller on the Fiesta and just lower the Marina. I had to have a Purple one when I saw it as I used to work with a guy who had one. He was a bit of an Elvis fan and had a model Elvis playing a guitar on the Dash. We broke into it one lunch time and moved it from the front car park to the back. He wasn't amused. Both cars had a bit of slight weathering. Cheers Peter. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted November 14, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 14, 2014 Not just good work on the cars but great weathering on the van and the groundwork looks good even an camera-cruel close-up. I like the speed limit sign just leaning casually against the van; might have to pinch that idea myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been through my pictures on the hard drive and the latest shots of Mk.1 RBs on the Eustons are in 1987 with mixed blue/grey and Intercity livery. Those taken in 1988 are all inter city livery with Mk.3 buffets. As most things changed with the summer timetable, I suggest Mk.3s probably from May 1988. Cheers Merf.

Pete Harvey Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Peter The pictures look great but you need a removable backdrop, when taking perspective pictures. To hide the garage doors. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60091 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Had to agree with Gwiwer ... the cameo around the grounded 12t van looks really good. There's always so much excellent modelling work on show, even without the trains. Although I know it isn't portable, I often wish Llanbourne was on the exhibition circuit here in England. Any idea about transportation costs.... :) Regards Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Purple Marina nice!....I am going to have to get a few vehicles for Boxenby’s car park. Wouldn’t mind a Mk1 XR2 in white with pepper pot wheels….sorry getting carried away and going back to my youth! How good does your 31 look sat there on the Engineers train? Lovely traction at Llanbourne. I can just imagine being on the end of the platform with the 31, Peak and 47 all idling away…….. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure I would have seen it on a layout at some point and copied it myself. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Merf, Always appreciate your help mate, thought someone on here would know. It sort of saves me buying a MK3 though I could add one in a rake for variety. Looks like my Mainline MK1s will be in service for a while yet. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Hi Pete, Yes I think you are right there, I did think about painting the garage doors blue, but a removable piece of MDF would do the job. A job for another day. Cheers Peter.

The 3 main boards came to Australia, and the fiddleyard boards and legs stayed in England. I have a few pics somewhere of Llanbourne at the Brockenhurst Exhibition, I will dig them out and post them here when I get the chance. Cheers Peter.

Lovely traction at Llanbourne. I can just imagine being on the end of the platform with the 31, Peak and 47 all idling away…….. Thanks Alex, I am trying to picture where the car park is at Toton. You will certainly need a few cars about, even one parked by the shed with some fitters working on their own car, while on their lunch break. My class 31 does get a bit of use at the moment, it's still a bit of a favourite. A friend of mine had a Fiesta that had been tuned and had XR2 wheels, he took me for a spin before work one morning down some local country lanes. I thought I was going to DIE, it went really well though. As Clarkson would say. " I think some wee came out" lol. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianwales Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hi Peter Fantastic shots as usual, I'm almost tempted to abandon the steam on my budding 7mm layout and turn it into a South Wales version of Llanbourne only pre TOPS Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
