    Does anyone know if GWR Pythons were well travelled in BR days? This East Anglian modeller rather likes the cut of the Parkside kit's jib.

      According to Rule 1 they got pretty much anywhere & everywhere across the whole of the system.

      I've seen several photos of them on M&GN services in the 50s, and one or two on ECML trains as well, so yes, OK I think.

      Brilliant, thank you both!

    Heavy rain today and had to put the heating on this evening. Looking forward to the long winter nights, enough of this summer malarkey.

      Oi !!!, that`s my moto for work. Don`t forget it`s only the depth that varies, and sometimes the tast, depending how deep in it you are

    The worst thing is missing an eBay auction for something you desperately wanted, and it goes for dirt cheap. Gutted!

      The best feeling on ebay is when there is something really good and you get it for a fantastic low price because NXEA! missed it....

    Lovely day out on the North Norfolk today, I think my 1 year old might have caught the bug!

    Ballasting done. Starting to look more like a railway now!

    Modelling Minories one day is a must.

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      Just don't get overambitious and lay the throat pointwork using Peco large radius points. They'll occupy the same space as the original CJF design for the whole station...

    2. Danemouth

      Danemouth

      If only had the space ...

  17. NXEA!

    Thalys and Eurostar, very enjoyable. It’s get me everytime, doing 186mph on a train is quite an experience! Roll on HS2 I say.

    1. BoD

      BoD

      you think HS 2 will actually work?

    2. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      Yes, absolutely. Don’t forget it’s not just about better connecting the UK, it’s about capacity to grow the classic network and allow more freight. Vital if the economy is to survive after Brexit.

  18. NXEA!

    Christ, just impulse purchased a Dapol O Gauge Pannier. At this rate I’ll be modelling P4 in my 30’s.

      You got a link to the layout Andy? I'd be interested to see. My OO Gauge layout lives in our bedroom at the moment, so definitely no chance of a second layout at the moment! One day I'll have a railway room...

    3. Captain Kernow

      I'd really like to see that 7mm layout as well, please!

      Hroth is on the money - saw the article in Smiths yesterday and now I’m absolutely hooked.

      Went to Dornoch once, I think it was shut

    Been dabbling with modelling clay this evening, rather enjoyable that.

    1. NGT6 1315

      NGT6 1315

      Well, I suppose you do need to model clay if you want to put a pottery business on your layout.

  21. NXEA!

    Fiddle yards done this afternoon, very satisfying to have an operational layout at last!

    I’ll say it again in case anyone missed it, I’m clearing out my NSE era Southern Region stock. PM me for details if you’re interested.

    Any suggestions for locations where there is a level crossing through the back end of a set of points?

      There are a lot of converging and diverging roads between points at the level crossing just north of Exeter St Davids

      I believe in infamous Durham Ox LC at Lincoln went over several points.
