Castle Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi All, I wouldn’t know 81C - I haven’t seen it... The most I can honestly say about it is that, as people coming from a rail heritage background, we tried our hardest to plan and produce the best and most prototypical layout we could within the circumstances, theme, timescales, budgets and rules given and the skill sets available to us within the team and to then showcase those skills as best we could. It’s no different to taking a layout to an exhibition or indeed posting stuff here on RMWEB. Some will like it, some won’t. So be it... All the best, Castle 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castle Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) Hi 81C, No point made as as such good sir, other than I wasn't that fussed by what Steve said in his role as judge but that I couldn't really comment having not seen the program. He had a part to play and so did we. He was a really nice guy to all of us to be honest! I hope no confusion or offence was caused mate!. All the best, Castle EDIT: My apologies to Rob for taking his thread WAY off topic! Edited October 29, 2018 by Castle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6892 Oakhill Grange Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 A lined-black County seldom offends... The shed could very well been on fire with the gas-turbine sitting in it. Oh yes! I think I commented several hundred pages ago that that type of County offends me greatly. The other type of ridiculous County that had difficulty staying on the track does not offend me at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi 6892, I guess the word seldom was well chosen! They are a bit of a 'Marmite' prototype I guess... Churchward Counties only offended their crews at speed it would seem. Having felt the surging effect of No. 5322 when allowed off the leash a little bit, I can only imagine what the shorter wheelbase 4-4-0 one will feel like in a similar situation. Oh, and sadly No. 18000 would not have burnt down the shed either - it had a small diesel engine used for shunting maneuvers. Strange thing is that even after building the model I can't see where the coal went... No. 18100 was pure gas turbine however, so would have been first choice for shed immolation. All the best, I.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted October 31, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2018 Have you bought yourself another 14xx in the Hattons sale? I'll let you choose: i) I have bought myself an ex-LMS inspection coach in the Hattons sale ii) I have just dunked a banana in my cup of tea iii) I have just bought myself the remaining stocks of 14XXs left in the Hattons warehouse and am going to set up a market stall selling them in Newton Abbot iv) I have just stood waving my wet hands under the paper towel dispenser in the Gentlemen's lavatory in Marks & Spencer v) I have just seen some Hattons 14XXs being offered as free gifts, if you buy a Greggs pasty (only in the Horrocksford branch, though) vi) I have just poured some milk into my mug of green tea vii) I have just converted to 'N' gauge viii) I have just purchased three LPs by Barry Manilow ix) I have just written an article for the Illustrated Monthly Gricethusiast, praising the drive mechanism of the Hattons 14XX x) None of the above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted October 31, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2018 I've heard it said that like a pannier, a Peckett W4 No.560 rarely offends, especially as it was made in Brizzle. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
