RMweb Gold Donw Posted January 29, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Now that is a good test of trackwork backing a long freight across the slip into the yard. Done all the time in the old days but not so common on models. Lovely stuff and full marks on the trackwork.

Don Hi Don , Cheers mate, yes its running well, and will need to be done with the Coals and also with a Van Train back into the Shed so that will be the next test once that bit is wired up. More Video in a day or so. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted January 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi Polly, I hope you have a good Show, I'm looking forward to seeing Camel Quay. Looking forward to seeing you, Andy. We'll have to see Deesdale, too, although I expect that'll be before they open the doors to the rest of the world.

steaming_chris Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Back on Topic, Although I find Lorries fascinating I have quite a fleet of BR ones ready for Bitton Yard.

I hope to get Scenic board 1 Goods Release Point wired up next Monday if I can STOP PLAYING TRAINS LONG ENOUGH. Then its Platform 1 to complete. I have some weathering to do for a Mate on Friday ready for Stafford if I have time, its some Western Region Steam and a Western so that will be a change. I put the pics of todays weathering in my old Deesdale Road thread as the stock is for that this weekend. Back to bed now, I'm out all day today so more updates tonight. Hi Andy I'm really enjoying the great progress you are making with your layout. In post #4405, by the Lotus Cortina and this post, 3rd and 5th photo, are the two goods sheds modified R-T-Plonk or are they scratch built ? Either way they do look very good.

Regards, Chris Morning Chris, unfortunately I cant take credit for either of them, the first with the Lotus Cortina is pictured on my Glen Roy Layout, it has been scratch built from Plasticard with what appears to be Ratio widows etc. It is a copy of a Cardboard Metcalfe Kit with some minor alterations and I purchased it second hand from a local shop. The second one is on our Clubs Layout and again is scratch built, this time it was based on the Hornby Magna Goods Shed and built by one of our Club members. And this pic shows it during its construction. Edited January 30, 2015 by Andrew P 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL 'O THE WYND Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Here's a Black 5 on the Bitton Coals this evening. Thoroughly enjoyed that! I do prefer steam with no sound. Talking about sound, it was interesting to hear a radio/sumfink-else in the background. I rather liked it. Obviously not a sound-track as such, but I'm curious about how Youtube's copyright law (which is tight) applies to something like this. I'd like to play faint 60s stuff with mine, but when does the rule kick-in? Curious... Hal 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Hi Hal, good question and I hadn't realised it was on until George mentioned it this morning because when I downloaded it I had the sound on the Flip Flop turned off. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Evening Bodge. Must say the sound track in the background is much better than the awful chuff-chuff from the sound decoder ? hahaha, getting ready for Stafford all things are packed and ready to go, need some more RES stuff locos and stock.....speak later George Edited January 31, 2015 by georgeT 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

67A Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi Andy, Sorry for blowing you up re: stuffing your face but its true. Great to see you again and to meet Peter(BB) for the first time. You both looked quite content pottering along on Deesdale Road, we had good laugh with you today and thanks for the addition to the fleet which will be in service once reverted to analogue. Until our next encounter, possibly Derby? Look after yourself! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ray H Posted January 31, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2015 In Andy's favour I can say that he wasn't eating any of the three times that I saw him today. Sorry I didn't get to meet up with you Mike. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mike, it was great to see you and your entourage today, and NO I wasn't eating, I was just starting a re cycling process with a Cheese Sandwich, ahha.
