Glenadam Distillery is booked to appear at Statfold model railway exhibition in April! You can imagine my delight when I saw the layout on the event poster at Doncaster exhibition yesterday! Hope to see some of you there 🙂- 110 replies

The models look great but those lamps really aren’t good, I’d much rather leave them off completely, it’s great to see they are trying to innovate with them but if it ends up ruining the model it will be a disappointment.

Too much bling, not prototypical I’m afraid…🫣

Evening everyone, It’s been a few months since I’ve posted any updates, the only real change has been the addition of some point levers, such an obvious thing that was missing but something I completely overlooked, situation now rectified 😄 I’ve also received Hornby’s new 2MT locomotive which has been weathered and details now added. Here’s a few pictures from today as I’ve had the layout out to test the new loco. Cheers 🥃- 110 replies

Just spent a couple of hours doing a few extra details, added some additional rusting around the smoke box area, chopped away the NEM pocket, added the front end details, cylinder cocks, footplate crew and lamps.

My 2MT has just arrived from TMC, I made use of their weathering service before they shipped it to me. I'm super impressed with the model and the weathering the guys at TMC have done, for £20 extra it’s well worth it just to knock that ex works finish off the loco. Looking forward to getting it on my distillery layout this evening 😁

Let the frothing commence! 🤣

When I saw Scottish class 20s I immediately thought “ooooh BR green with tablet catcher???” Not to be this time, but we can’t have everything we want! 🙂

Not sure if it’s been suggested before but an interesting model that would fit in with many layouts…

Thanks very much Karl, the inspiration came from piecing together bits of inspiration from different Scottish distilleries I researched and it seemed to turn out well in the end. I had the layout out the other night for a play (Trying out my new AS Manor, not sure many of those made it to any Scottish whisky distilleries though lol) I got a few fresh photos, nothings changed much from the last ones though, probably just more dust! I’m hoping I might make it to a couple of shows next year :) Cheers 🥃- 110 replies

The stay alive on my manor doesn’t seem to be working, upon investigation none of the pickups on the tender are touching the backs of the wheels so it’s picking up on the driving wheels only. Silly question but does the stay alive just use the tender pickups or does it use all the locos pickups? I’ve had the loco sat on the layout for quite a while to ‘charge them up’ but the second I lift the loco or go over a insulated frog point the loco stops dead. I can adjust the pickups but I don’t want to mess with it if it ends up having to go back for a look at. Does the stay alive work well on everyone else’s models?

There was a Hornby delivery schedule document floating around a month or so back that had the collectors model of 78022 on it, showing it as expected into the warehouse around August.
