  1. Hi all, This is from the Southern Locomotives webpage. "The groundwork has now been prepared for both Sidmouth and Brocklebank Line at Sellindge, with these two projects moving forward together before the former is returned to Swanage. We have now acquired our own grit blasting equipment, including an almost new cabinet blaster for smaller items. By coincidence a scaffolding firm has just rented some land for storage a few yards from our area, and have offered to organise undercover accommodation for Brocklebank Line and Sidmouth's frames for us. We will arrange the transfer of Sidmouth's frames, but we need to have moved Brocklebank Line's first as they will sit behind Sidmouth's, as the latter's will be moving off site first. It's impractible to arrange for Sidmouth's frames to arrive on the same day as Brocklebank Line is lifted, so this will be undertaken the week after the main move. The delays to Sidmouth's restoration are frustrating but our supporters will appreciate that it's essential to have Sir Keith Park, Eddystone, Manston and 257 Squadron earning revenue to fund much of the cost of its restoration. Given the number of shareholders supporting Sidmouth, and the relatively large amount of cash they have contributed Sidmouth will come first. Our minor moves are taking place on 21st September and the crane is booked for the 7th October for Brocklebank Line and the 19th for Sidmouth's frames." I believe the frames of Sidmouth was delayed slightly due to our rainy season and should be there now. Kind regards, Chris
  2. Nine years and still waiting....... Plans have changed and at least I can run them on a OO9 track.
  3. Hi all, I have heard that these Bulleid's are dropped from the list. Shame if this is true as this was going to be a fantastic project. Shame Dapol has gone down this line. Chris
  4. Hi Grahame, I'm on there too with no update as such. Thanks anyway, Chris
  5. Hi All, I had a look at the Dapol site and still no futher update to add. However the BB/WC page is here http://Dapol.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=179_298_300_345 There is no link from the main page. :-( Therefore no news is good news. Cheers, Chris
  6. Thanks guys for the update. At least these locos are being well designed and tested. Cheers Chris
  7. Any news from Warley on the progress of these models? I did hear they are doing sound decoders in a recent mag. Cheers Chris edit typo error on they!!
  8. Hi, A picture of the boiler being used as a template for Taw Valley http://www.southern-locomotives.co.uk/News/news.htmlthird set of pictures down. Hope to see the boiler moved soon. Chris
  9. Thanks CK as I thought I did see them coming down the M5 as I was oft to the outskirts of Taunton earlier this week. Chris from Devon
  10. Dawlish 16:40 Taking pictures for RMWeb. For the next CK episode Thursday nights 20:00 Channel Five.
  11. Just had a look at the 2014/2015 catalogue and the same loco's are still listed. Which is good news. Unlike the price £131 DCC ready and £155 DCC chipped. Oh well at least they are coming. Chris
  12. Is anyone able to video capture 34046 Braunton going through Dawlish using the live cam? That's down and up on the same video? Just like Andy Y's post http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/81949-washout-at-dawlish/?p=1414042 Thank you very much in advance. Chris
