Part 4

Hello all,

 

I've taken the plunge and moved over to this new-fangled environment. I found a few extra photos that I hadn't added to the old place, so I've attached them below. I hope you enjoy.

T1 standing on the shed yard. Igone the cobwebs on the bufferstops!

63462 banks a loaded (with empty wagons!) ore train up the hill to Annfield Plain.

A K1 eases a train of empty hoppers out of the yard and heads off towards South Pelaw.

The same manoeuvre from a different angle!

The train heads over the level crossing (that little signal on the gantry needs adjusting!).

Rolling off into the tunnel, clanking and wheezing as it goes.

An aerial view (perhaps from a passing hot air balloon?) of the station buildings and yard exit. There's an alarming lean on that telegraph pole!

Watching some shunting from the ramp of the coaling stage.

62024 is backed onto the ashpits before being put to bed for the night.

 

 

That's all I've got for now. Hope you like them, and sorry I only ever get the chance to get one loco out to play!

Thanks for bringing this across.

This layout was one of the must sees on the old forum and I'm glad you are going to continue over here.

 

Compliments to your dad for his outstanding modelling and yourself for the quality photoscool.gif

Absolutely spectacular... this is one of the 2 or 3 P4 layouts which makes me wish I had pursued P4 to a layout.. :icon_thumbsup2:

 

Aaah well...

I have just stumbled upon this thread -- Blackgill is a really inspiring model, and the photos are great. I lived on Tyneside for 12 years in the 1980s and 90s, and have been planning a model of South Pelaw on the Tyne Dock - Consett route for a long time. Porgress is slow (isn't it always), and I have been busy building a set of nine Dave Bradwell iron ore hoppers as well as 21T hopper wagons and steel carriers of various sorts.

 

For those interested in Tyne Dock 9Fs, I've also nearly finished an EM gauge model of 92060 -- a rather painful experience involving a few bits from a Dapol kit, a Comet chassis, a Dave Alexander tender and lots of time and effort. Its been painted since this photo was taken, but the valve gear still needs finishing off along with a few more details. I have a DJH kit for the next one, and after that I will probably use the Bachmann model as a starting point.

 

Cheers,

 

Richard

Gorgeous. This has everything, as far as I'm concerned. (Apart from a Cravens welded D100 21T hopper but I can forgive that, given the rest...)

 

So : any news on the MRJ question?

Beautiful layout. Just found this "hiding" in amongst all the other things on RMWeb - I think it will take a lifetime to check out everything on the site. Watching this one for the future.

 

How did you manage to curve the Wills stone walling? Its really effective.
