P.C.M

Thanks guys, The train ran for the rest of the week, 45103, 47106 and the last day saw 25109. Happy New Year. Cheers Peter.

Hi Kev, I will be interested to see how you go with 24090s bogies. Looking forwards to seeing 20121,I did a model of the same loco a few years back. After seeing it at Barnetby, it just had to be done. Happy New Year. Cheers Peter.

Hi Jeff, Some good progress, it's looking good. I have a new sound loco so will have to catch up in the new year. Happy new year, Peter.

It looks like some stock has been found for the 2Z08, 47515 did the honours and the train left on time. Cheers Peter.

Thanks Rick, Merry Christmas to you all at Penhayle Bay, will have to catch up in the new year. Cheers Peter.

Thanks Mark, All the best to you and yours. I was never a fan of DMUs but do have a few pics of 108s here and there. I have done a bit of swapping with my two 108s this one started out as a power twin but I swapped the chassis from my other 108, I was given some info on Chester based 108s by one of the guys involved with the Mostyn layout, which was very useful. Cheers Peter.

Thanks Neil, I don't do many night shots due to lack of layout lighting, but this shot has come up quite well. Cheers Peter.

Hi Chard, The lack of station roof at that end was the real reason, but I like your thinking. Cheers Peter.

Thanks Jeff, Welcome aboard, it is hard to follow everything on the forum there are so many great layouts etc. Cheers Peter.

Hi Woodenhead, I agree some staton lights would be good, I would like to re build the signals at some point, and lights in them would be nice, bit beyond my skills at the moment. may be one day. Cheers Peter.

Thanks Mark. Cheers Peter.

I went down to Llanbourne this morning as I heard there is a Christmas Shoppers Special running this week from Llanbourne to Manchester Vic with loco and stock. The 2Z08 leaves at 09.47 and returns as the 2Z59 at 18.25. Things didn't go well today as a DMU was turned out to work the train. To top it off the unit failed near Mostyn and a Pair of 20s were borrowed from a ballast train to work the train to Llanbourne. HELLFIRE. :locomotive: Merry Christmas, Cheers Peter.

Hi Phil, I do like those Scalescene containers, the container crane looks good too. The whole layout is really coming together, look fowards to seeing more during next year. Merry Christmas, Peter.

Hi Matt, He is about a year old now and is a real pain in the ### . He is knocking bits of the Christmas tree as I write this. It makes a change from him attacking the dog though. Cheers Peter.

Hi Claggy, Nice to see you back, looking forwards to seeing some updates on your layout. Cheers Peter.

Thanks Mark, I still have a heap of Rail mags from the 80s and 90s, I still flick through them now and then if I am looking for some info or an old article. 31323 bought the flask in, it had shunted the train into the yard and was on the headshunt and out of shot when I took the pic. Cheers Peter.

Thanks Neil, Apart from the curved ends the rest is recovered Hornby platform. Cheers Peter.

My new sound Loco ( feat Rosco the 'cat' controller )

Hi Rick, Nice pics, I do like the Western on the viaduct. Cheers Peter.

Hi Mark, I presume 37409 is new new DRS livery one, I have seen a few pics, it looks very nice. Cheers Peter.

Thanks John, It's been a while since we have had an update on Balbeggie Sidings. 47561 waits to leave on the 1D48 to Holyhead, while no heat Peak 029 waits to leave on the 1E53 to York. Cheers Peter.

That looks good neil, nice touch. Cheers Peter.

Hi Dave & Wummyock, Thanks I am quite pleased with them, They are by 'Mininatur' I have a pack of violet ones as well, but I am not sure where to put them yet. Cheers Peter.

Hi Leon, Thanks, all good here. I have another large logo 47 to do but it's a Vi trains one. I thought I would give one a try as all my other 47s are Bachmann. It's not a bad looking model just needs a bit of work. Cheers Peter.

D200 is about to depart with the 1K38 to Stoke, 47535 is ticking over in the middle road. The 1K38 was booked for a class 47/4, but during the summer of 1986 D200 worked the train a number of times. Cheers Peter.
