I’m a happy boy today… 😁 Beautiful models, very impressed! Well done all at Revolution Trains

My shelter in OO turned up yesterday, chuffed to bits, it’s a cracking little model, put some pictures on my Instagram https://instagram.com/p/CqaeZEZIEfx/

Careful! You could have someone’s eye out with that!

I love this layout and how you’ve turned it out. Looking forward to more updates as & when. Top work! Kev

Now you come to say it, I had the one you did based on the crane at Burton WRD, but this is taller though?

I'm loving the gantry crane, is that a 3d print?

I adore this, thanks for showing it. Kevblokey

Ordered mine this morning, no issues other than not being able to remember my password (this and countless other websites...)

Unfortunately modern bus seats do not allow you to remove the bases unless you have a screw driver. Modern buses also now have hazard warning lights. The seat cushion was to indicate to the driver behind not to pull up too close as the buggered one in front weren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Shudder the thought...

Great stuff, just what my light railway layout needs! Hope these prove a hit.

In limbo no longer, I'm delighted to say that 'Winkford Green' now has a delighted new owner in myself. I met Martin in Peterborough on Sunday where the handover took place before heading back to East Kent. I've always had a hankering to do a light railway layout, but working silly hours, lack of time, skills and any other excuse I can think of, meant that when there was a possibility that 'Winkford Green' may be looking for a new home, I jumped at the chance, Many thanks to Martin for giving me the time to find a free date for the handover. At present, there are no immediate plans to change anything on the layout, barring the name. Being in East Kent, I thinking of moving it to a station on the East Kent Light Railway, on the planned, but never built Canterbury branch, the new, proposed, name is 'Wickhambreaux' Stock to be operated is pretty much as before and that's it really. I'll start a new thread in time showing you what progress is made. Thanks! Kev

That EWS crew still shunting those wagons about? They take their time, don't they? :-)

Some film I took on the Saturday. Great show, quality layouts, massive thanks to Stu for allowing me to play on Portwey, whilst he popped off for 'ten minutes'! Enjoy the footage,,,

What time is this announcement then? It's probably on one of these posts, but I got bogged down in the speculation swamp...

That fiddle yard would make a damn fine depot layout...

Sorry if my gritter gag is a repeated (albeit abridged) version of one already on here, I'm a bit like the BBC "now on 2, another chance to see..."

There’s no pleasing some people...

For over four miles I followed this lorry whilst I tried to get him to stop, when he finally did, I was able to tell him he was losing his load. “I’m gritting” came the angry response

So cold this morning, my wife told me she was going to go out and scrape the car. "Against what?" was, apparently, the wrong response.

I once went for an interview at the local forge... Blacksmith: You any good at shoeing horses? Me: No, but I did tell a donkey to 'sod off' once before.

I done much the same, kept the pages I needed/wanted and tipped the rest

Put a few of the Middleton Press books on EBay, no interest as of yet. No great surprise.

Having had a massive sort out, I have about a hundred Railway/bus/underground/misc transport books for sale. Does anybody have any recommendations on the best way to dispose of these, in particular if I wished to dispose of as a collection, who are the recommended buyers in the trade? Thanks, Kev

All said purely in jest! Seriously though, a great project, propelling moves with brake vans at the leading end, whats not to like?
