Popular Post P.C.M Posted July 12, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Thanks for all the comments Guys, I have been posting pics for a few years now and it's still good to get the great feedback. Their is still plenty to do and more stock on the workbench to finish off, but it is nice to play train now and then. A few more pics from the other day. Cheers Peter. A 108 works a local service to Bangor. Shortly after the 108 has cleared the section 47535 storms past on a Trans- Pennine service for York. 45111 sits in the middle road having arrived earlier on the Trans- Pennine service from Bangor which 47535 has worked forwards.

ben pez Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Absolutely stunning layout! The photos are a pleasure to look at! Are your post & wire fencing the ratio ones? Only reason i ask is because im thinking about putting fencing like that on my own layout and yours look spot on. Cheers Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi Peter, Nice photos as usual. I really like the weeds/weathered track looking towards the tank sidings. When your up in Scotland let me know when and where if you fancy a play on Rannoch. All the best Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted July 13, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2016 The passing shot of the 47 look very good but again there all fantastic photos . It's those understated details which add to the effect - small piles of ballast, spare rails, odd bits of concrete ducting - without being overcrowded. Really nicely done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason i ask is because im thinking about putting fencing like that on my own layout and yours look spot on. Cheers Ben Thanks Ben, My fencing is Plastract square rod cut to length with the top rounded off and grey cotton which is superglued to the posts. It takes a bit of time but probably cheaper than the Ratio fence. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your up in Scotland let me know when and where if you fancy a play on Rannoch. All the best Mark Thanks Mark, We are planning to be in Scotland 'Falkirk' Sept 30th to the first 1st Oct then heading up to Inverness on the 2nd we are planning to do Roslin chapel and the Falkirk wheel with hopefully time to see Edinburgh Castle. I am not sure what else their is in town but wouldn't mind going to Hartburn Hamlet model shop. If you are fairly local and I have some spare time we could certainly catch up it would be good to see the layout. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nicely done Thanks Rich, Understated is what I am aiming for, it's far to easy to get carried away with detail some layouts can look a bit overdone. As I always say looking at the real thing is the way to go. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post P.C.M Posted July 14, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2016 Thanks again for all the great feedback and likes. Here are a few more, enjoy. A Chester based 108 class DMU has decided it has done enough for the day. 25109 was spare at Llanbourne and was sent to rescue the failed unit. 25109 is seen arriving with a late running local service to Crewe. The class 25 runs round in platform 4 and is seen waiting to depart then a pic from the road bridge as the train leaves. Cheers Peter. 29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 61656 Posted July 14, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 14, 2016 Loving the latest pictures Pete, particularly the trans-pennine service. I remember just such a swap as I waited at York for a Scarborough - Bangor service, thrilled to see a 45/1 on the front, only to find it replaced by a 47. Not that I ever minded a 47, but in '86 I knew there wouldn't be many more chances. I've got a few photos of peaks on provincial liveried coaches, but don't think I ever saw the combination myself. I do recall a lot of odd liveried BGs on the front or back though. Is your 25 a Bachmann? Looking at mine the front windows look smaller than yours, but that could just be the camera, computer, angle or weathering! Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Thanks Andy, I managed a few Peaks for haulage on the Trans-Pennine trains but not as many as I would have liked. I did get bowled by a class 47 a few times too. The BGs Normally NEAs or NEX did turn up some interesting liveries I have see pics of Inter-City and Scotrail coaches on the services. My class 25 is a Bachmann model so would be the same as yours. I checked your pic of it on your layout. Bachmann do the other body design too though which did have the smaller centre window. A lot of people think the Hornby body is a bit better though. I put the Bachmann chassis under a couple of mine. Cheers Peter. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
