Hi David, I've not encountered any issues with loco's on this layout. I have no raised areas on this build Unfortunately. So slippages isn't a problem. The 128 even takes the set track points without fault on my fiddle yard. Which is always a worry with later stuff I have purchased.

RevolutioN Announces Crowdfunded N Gauge Class 128
porkie replied to MGR Hooper!'s topic in Revolution Trains
Mine arrived today. Brilliant little DPU. Big thanks to Revolutions for bringing this class to N
-
More rolling stock update than the layout build. My Revolution trains class 128 landed today. Can't fault the build quality or the finish. Everything is spot on. My only suprise was, I thought it would of been a bit heavier than it is.

Been having a bash at building corrugated fences for my scrap yard scene. Getting there slowly, Kinda pleased so far with my results.
-
Thanks for looking. Phil
-
Not much of an update. Been playing around setting the scene, Before I 100% commit to building the backscene up. The Scrap yard scene, is roughly how I want it. I'm still looking at scrap yard images online For inspiration and ideas.

Looks ace Simon 👍
-
No update on the build, But bit of fun messing around with my rolling stock and loco's. This is a rule 1 moment, which I'm really happy with. 47853 in XP64 guise. Working a Pullman charter set in reverse Blue Grey

Hell's Bell's that is a brilliant mimic panel. Love what you are doing on this build . Looking forward to seeing your next update Phil
-
Not much of an update. Fiddle yard is now finally completed. With 2 extra roads roads added at each end to accommodate 2 car DMUs and single car. Thanks for looking Phil.

Hi Ben. I model from late 80s upto the late 90s. So I can pretty get away with running a mixed batch of rolling stock and loco's. Phil

Funny you should say that you stumbled across class59s on the WCML. Whilst doing research for my new build, I came across a picture of 59103 working a stone train Whatley quarry upto the old ARC site in Wolverton. So they did venture out further than the normal neck of the woods
-
I know that I have missed the early bird deal. But they do look very tempting 😲 Just unsure which livery would suit the WCMl in the late 80s and 90s era's
-
Hell's Bell's this is a awesome bit of modelling. Thanks for sharing your handy work. Really love those HST pictures
-
Picked up a copy of BRM over the weekend. Great write up you did about N brass mast's David. 👍 Hopefully it will help me out when I attempt to build mine. Cheers Phil
-
Wow Just caught up with your latest updates. The NGS tiphook Hopper's look brilliant. Definitely a set of wagon kits I need on my shopping list. Love the long distance pic's. Didn't realise how long your layout is. Keep the updates coming Phil
-
Hell's Bell's David. She's a stunner, hat's off you have done a awesome job.
-
Looking good Graham 👍 Always fancied a rolling road and that 37 is awesome. Must admit that 60 looks great. Shame you had to fiddle with it to get it to run perfect. Phil
-
Steve its not a problem at all. Really happy that you liked them. Phil
-
Hi Chris. So far so good. I've not had any issues with the curved set track points
-
Carried on building bridges over the weekend. The Modern south bridge is almost complete. Must admit it looks a little lost with no embankment either side
-
Started abit of kit bashing, and have assembled the bridge for the North end of the layout. Still got a bit of tidying up to do but happy with the end result so far. I Used an old Dapol mast from my old layout. To set up the overall height of the bridge. Thanks for looking Phil
-
Been felting over the long weekend, and started to create backscene and one of the end road bridges. Now that these two are roughly where I want them. I can start working out what size polystyrene I need for the embankment drop to track level.
-
My other little bit of interest I want to create is a power feeder mast and sub station. As I have never seen it modelled before. I have a sub station already, just need to source materials to attempt the mast.
