RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted May 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2017 I remember those Morris Ital vans, they were right nails, even when new. I much preferred the Bedford HA's we had before, they were great. Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's funny, the Ital car was quite nice, but whatever they did to the contract vans I don't know, but they were awful. And my recollection is that although the Ital was a bigger vehicle than the HA, it actually had a smaller load space in the back, as well.

bescotbeast Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 having some time off work, I've extended my fiddle yard roads once again, this is the third time I've done it. The result is I can now run 9 TEA wagons instead of 7, 9 BDA wagons instead of 8 and 7 coaches instead of 6. new points by Simon Barnes, on Flickr fiddle yard roads extended by Simon Barnes, on Flickr Part of this was possible from the "peco point bending" thread I came across point bending by Simon Barnes, on Flickr 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bescotbeast Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thanks Andy, the two locos are Dave's Thames611 enjoying an extended working holiday on Pendeford sidings, 47430 is my favourite as it's in de-branded Intercity livery and fitted with "Legomanbiffo" sounds. The trackwork changes are running well, the only slight niggle I've got, is the new Hornby HAA wagons wheels are running poorly through the check rail on the Code 100 curved point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan product fan Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 sorry to hear about the poor running MGRs on your new points i'm sure you'll sort it very soon . The 47 are very cool bet the lego man sounds are very good i've always preferred intercity swallow (swift) to intercity mainline i thought it dull compared with the bright white finish of swallow but the model does look very good mate but the grey duff looks much better much more business type 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
