'CHARD Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Dave, you've been told before. Stop posting random photos of the real thing from your archives... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hi Dave, Those night shots add a whole new dimension to your layout. You get a real sense of life lurking in the shadows on the platforms, engines idling with the exhaust haze hanging in the warm summer night air! Well it has been warmer and brighter as the weeks gone on maybe summer is on the way! Carlton hill is well captured in the dark and living in Edinburgh I know the views across Waverley well and your photos capture this brilliantly. I really like 47 644 but like Chard has said you have to stop sneaking in photos of the real thing like that and passing it off as your model! Good luck with your house hunting - the wife has got us doing that too as she wants to move at some point this year. The first house we saw had a nice railway room in the roof space and a double garage which I already had a workbench planned into as well I think the rest was ok too!

I really want to do one with the Yellow Inverness logo but I think the only Scottish 47 with that and ploughs in Scotrail livery was 47541. Cheers Peter.

I was worried it may have been painted a bit late for my time period 1986-7, but found a pic showing the loco was painted Sept 86 and it had Inverness logo and ploughs by early 87. It has a round boiler port but I think this loco is will have to be done. Thanks again cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hi Dave/Peter, Seeing that list of 47's especially 492 somehow reminded me that I travelled behind that into Poole once. I was very young at the time probably only about 8 as there was a couple of years when we never had a car and went south by train which suited me just fine. I only remember that as seeing a Scottish loco with that name so far south seemed very strange to me at the time. Looks a cracking choice for either of you to do and one would be nice on Rannoch!

Waverley West Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi folks, Modelling progress has been desperately slow here at WW recently, mainly due to life getting in the way. On the other hand, I did manage to have a play with my space-time displacement machine and set it to Waverley in August 1986 again, but this time early in the morning...

Thanks, Mark Hi Mark, Just been catching up on Daves thread and realized I missed this post of yours from the other day. I used to live in Sway on the Bournemouth mainline and we did used to get the odd Scottish Duff down our way, The Wessex Scot, was a good train for them. I used to try and view it when I could. Here is a pic (posted before) but showing a Scottish Duff at Southampton, 47617 is also on my to do list. Cheers Peter. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hi Dave, Cracking shots - we have had some of that sunshine recently but the trains look different in your photos to what I saw the other day! Thanks Peter - my memory must be better than I thought from when I was younger and use to travel down on the Poole services from Lancaster. I always liked it when the 47's took over at BNS and on the sharp curves you got a glimpse of the loco. I also use to watch the 47's run round in the carriage sidings at Poole whilst sat at the Speedway. On the Summer nights in between the races you would see them emit a plume of black smoke as they departed ECS. Not the same any more.

ste234 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hi Dave, I was in Edinburgh area on holiday this past week and visited the city. Of course I had a look at the station, the thing is I actually recognised bits of your superb modelling, the station platforms and the tunnels, they all look spot on from what I saw from the real thing! Keep it up Ste Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks guys. Hi folks, I don't have a lot to show I'm afraid, as life seems to have taken over my railway modelling at the moment. 47711 just needs weathering now to be completed, so hopefully I should be able to post some pics of that soon. I just thought I'd post a couple of pics in the meantime... Cheers for now. Hope to be back soon! Dave 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi folks, Just time for a quick pic... In a somewhat surprising working (given that it's 1986 at Waverley West), 55007 pulled into platform 13 last night with a rake of blue/grey Mk 1s in tow. She then ran round and is pictured here ready to depart northbound again... Cheers, Dave 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a 'secret' admirer of your Deltics for some time now. They'd look very nice at Waverley West! Cheers, Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hi Dave, The Deltic looks great, I do like the locos with the white window surrounds. Jon has done a top job on his Deltics, even had me looking at one on Ebay the other day, I have already been a bad boy and bought a class 27 recently. Cheers Peter.

Jon020 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Dave, thanks for the confession ... it's very much appreciated. And to you too Peter... Deltics down under - well... why not? Glad that I contributed to the thought. Mine will be on display tomorrow at our local show (Burgess Hill) - hope to post some pics shortly after... hope they're of interest to some so far from the ECML.

Waverley West Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hi all, As you've probably guessed, modelling time has been a bit scarce here at WW recently. However, I have managed to chip away at a couple of projects and 47711 is now finished, as are three InterCity Executive Mk 3s with Shawplan lazerglaze windows and window frames. Does anyone happen to know whether these are available for the TGS and Buffet yet? Here are some shots of 47711. I'll post some shots of the Mk 3s when I get chance. Not my best work, as I was a bit heavy with the paint on the bodysides for some reason, but it's time to move on to the next project now. That completes my fleet of shove duffs for WW, at least for the foreesable future, with the full roster now being: 47701 Blue 47707 ScotRail 47711 Large Logo 47715 ScotRail I have a few possible projects in the pipeline but more on that later. Cheers for now, Dave 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerhillboy Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Remember as a young lad going to Waverley to 'get numbers' and seeing up against the buffers probably not long after naming 47712 Lady Diana Spencer resplendent in 'very' silver roof. It appears she was named in '81 so I'd be 8-9 years old. I can still remember the 'bling' of the silver roof and the effect it had on me. For some reason silver roofs always held a big attraction as they usually represented pretty rare locos from Stratford, quite unusual up north but occasional performers on freightliners out of Craigentinny. Of course growing up in the Edinburgh area I'd go on to see 712 and all her sister 'shove duffs' many many times over, to the point of hardly raising an eye in favour of the other many loco hauled services of that era in and out of Waverley. Great stuff with 47711, really bringing back memories.170s just don't have the same effect!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
