RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 3, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 3, 2011 First outing in over 10 years at Blackburn exhibition today. A few niggly rail joints that needed fixing, then as the hall became very warm in the afternoon a couple more joints starting playing up - I'll be onto them first thing tomorrow. Didn't manage to get any phots, but may have a few minutes before the show opens. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we sorted most of the problems from the layout spending the last few years in a garage. One rail joints was proving "irritating" - however, that may have been down to the warm hall and dodgy wheels on about 3 items of rolling stock. We tried a couple of other train combinations with success and are looking forward to it's next outing in two weeks at Model Rail Live at Barrow Hill. We have a list of jobs - most of which are extra scenic details - but there are a few that will make it easier to transport/erect/disassemble. Cheers, Mick p.s. a few pics later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 4, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 4, 2011 A few quick pics taken at Blackburn show.

Cav Nice layout considering my age Design work underway tonight by Spike on the interior of the station. Also a lighting pelmet/facia should be ready for Barrow Hill along with a few other "refinements" Hope you enjoyed your spell on the layout.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 12, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2011 The lighting facia is well underway. The weather is dry so I've been outside priming/undercoating the boxes. Just trying to scrounge some gloss white from wife's work for the insides of them.

richard60098 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Nice to see the layout today, its totally changed since my last viewing in the 90's this time it had sound:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Welly Posted September 18, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 18, 2011 Spent most of today next door to your layout hearing the DCC sounds! It's an impressive layout and your 70 looks the job! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 18, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 18, 2011 Saw this today and was seriously impressed by it! I'm the one that was asking loads of questions, If only I had read this thread first I wouldn't have had to! Loved the class 66 at the back of the ballast train with it's lantern on the dashboard, I'll be copying that I think! Richard Hi Richard - one of many asking questions - which we usually like to answer! Details on how to do it here - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/553/entry-5752-aint-nobody-nicking-my-tail-lamp/ Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandhills Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Super layout viewed yesterday at MR Live. The level of movement in and out the station with various liveries of 158 etc was brill, couldnt take your eyes off it for a second, my lad was transfixed for most of the day ! Thanks ! As already mentioned the cl70 / autoballaster / cl66 with dash mounted tail lamp was train of the day ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Russ (mines a pint) Posted September 19, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 19, 2011 Nice to see this on here! Also remember Bryford Road pretty much from exhibitions and the RM article. Seem to remeber it was quite a bit more compact than this one? Are you thinking of ever posting anything on that layout?

Anyway was nice to see it out again. The station interior with the escalators etc looking good. You will have to give Spike my appologies regarding his window questions but each time I popped over to look at the station he'd bobbied off somewhere!!! Anyway the layout really is developing and to get the missus to say she liked an urban layout is praise indeed!! Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 19, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2011 Nice to see this on here! Also remember Bryford Road pretty much from exhibitions and the RM article. Seem to remeber it was quite a bit more compact than this one? Are you thinking of ever posting anything on that layout? Alas no. Bryford Road is long gone (mid-80's) and pre-dated the digital age so there are no photos other than those in the Railway Modeller - sometime in 1984 IIRC. I don't even know where the original photos are. BR was 16' x 15" with a small fiddle yard at each end. I did have a plan to build a BR mk2 and laid out a few points, but then DCC and Blackmill got in the way of that project. As time progressed, I decided that I wanted a NB mk2 instead and the story continues from post#1 in this thread........ Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cav Nothing new about Spike not being there - I'm sure he'll be in touch about the windows Looks like you may get initial planning permission from SWMBO to build that out-of-town retail park extension? "Outon Oaks" perhaps? Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for the quick "grab shots" A quick view of the station. 70005 passing the warehouse 60063 on the MGR's - this train and the empty coals working the other way performed faultlessly all weekend until the world's biggest camcorder turned up. And an overall view of the layout with the new lighting unit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
