  1. Slightly OT, but are the 701s in service yet? It feels like they've been in testing/trials for months
  2. Whats happened with that 4Cor? Someones removed the corridor connector and the pickup shoes (let alone put it on a unelectrified track)
  3. PM'd about titans of the track
  4. Thanks for filling me in about the bogies, I'll get them from replica with the bodies cheesysmith They only have a preorder available at 10% of the price so I've put a pound down to reserve one Nick, thanks for the information about the tenshodo motor bogies, I think they're best avoided then and the replica chassis is bit out of my price range unfortunately. It does look rather useful, an all in 1 solution and with a DCC socket for when I do upgrade to DCC Thanks for the help everyone
  5. Hi everyone, I'm making myself a BR 4-EPB (set around 1962) from mainly from replica bodies, and im not sure on a what bogies to use, Im currently thinking about replica B4 bogies for the unpowered bogies, they look the best match to me but im not sure on this For the power bogie Im thinking of a tenshodo motor bogie with Dart Castings B4 sideframes & the unpowered one out of a replica bogie with the same components, anyone have any better ideas for motive power as I cant find a BIL motor bogie anywhere? Thanks in advance, Adam
  6. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lima-00-Gauge-BR-blue-grey-brake-coach-converted-to-4-COR-Trailer/293849381090 It's a driving trailer, but looking like that I have no idea what it could be, its definetly not a COR DMBT
  7. I felt inspired from some of the stuff thats been on here in the last few pages and thought I'd try my hand at coming up with some island variations on minories and some variations while working with streamline points ( despite not owning any yet ) From top to bottom: A stream line version of keiths' layout a few pages back, its almost a 1m long but still under 26cm wide so would fit on a billy bookcase shelf Island with a pilot road in the middle using the peco 3 way points The middle pilot road somewhat reminds me of woking platform 3 somewhat, you could maybe run a autocoach/ 1 car dmu if you extended the platform around it Island minories without a pilot road Added in a pilot road with a y point, I think that an emu would look rather nice curving across this trackwork from the top platform I had some thoughts about interesting moves while making these, would this have ever happened? Loco arrives in platform 2 Pilot brings coaches forward in to the throat, releasing the loco which then moves into the siding via the crossover Coaches are pushed forward into the platform and pilot moves out of the way and loco runs round All of this could happen without effecting workings into platform 1, I dont see it happening in the prototype however as the coaches could have quite easily been moved into platform 1. Anyone have any example of this kind of move happening? it feels like it could have happened at a sleepy blt
  8. Works out to be 50 chains or 0.625m so not very far at all
  9. Recently found this threat and I'm in love with with this layout, its just hustle and bustle of trains.
  10. I love just how much character that passenger train has, really shines on such a small layout. How did you make the carriage, is it a cut and shut of the Hornby freelance ones?
  11. Nice start, this sounds like an interesting layout. What is the building on the bottom left of the second picture? I really like the look of it
  12. I'm not refering to The Co-op but instead an actual Co-operative called Go! who were looking at opening the line in around 2011 as a shuttle service into Andover and improving the area generally. I only ever saw a little column in the local newspaper but from what it seems like they have all but given up on the Andover branch. There's only a little footnote on the wikipedia page about it
  13. Im really liking the bridge, with a bit of weathering it might look like the real thing. This is going to be a really nice module when its finished Thats the 2nd time I've heard about the line from Andover to Lugershall being reinstated, I think last time it was a northern Co-op around 2013 who was going to use it but nothing came of it. Though I have no idea about the rest of the track, the part visable from the station up to redpost junction (?) was rather weedy
