Time to revisit the borders?

Though its hard to believe sometimes that I started the Deadwater layout in 2006/7 and thats now erm a long time ago:

I recall converting various type 2 diesels to EM and being hopeful I may be able to get suitable stock to run a more accurate ( ie when the line actually WAS open) period - most of the suitable things of the time were the ex mainline split chassis models.

 

Its hard to believe there is now not only RTR ex LNER non-gangway passenger stock, but also the D11/2 now to modern standards - tempting?

It would also look good in G scale ;-)

 

Only joking - I enjoyed this layout back then and it would be great to see an updated version. But easy enough for me to say :-)

Hi Russ

 

Just had a look at your old blog - love that derelict station scene - really well observed layout.  I agree with Mikkel about an update.

Yes it'll be six yrs since I started it.  Whatever happened to Braidlie Burn Chris? ;)

 

I've got a lot of plans and neither the time or space to do anything about it, sounds familiar?

- but its always something I'd like to revisit in either accurate-ish steam or diesel form and the rolling stock situation is looking much more favourable.

 

My apa box layout is still at 'modellers block' stage so who knows the track plan would be suitable for 'bitsa' Rothbury or Allendale - maybe it should move location (again, Lol!)

I really liked that layout, Russ, and it would be great to see something else being built along those lines!
